Columbia, July 17.—A formless
heap of bones, with a bullet-punctur
ed skull standing out in high relief,
today marked the end of the two-
weeks-old trail of officials and private
investigation that started when Major
Samuel H. McLeary, United States
army, disappeared" while en route
from Raleigh to Columbia.
They were pointed out and identi

Columbia highway in a densely wood-

where he was arrested yesterday
when the right spot was reached, he
recognized it immediately and led the
way to where he said he and his com
panion had dragged Major McLeary’s
body after they had forced the offi
cer at the point of a pistol to leave
his automobile and accompany them
into the woods, where he was shot.
Two bullet holes were found in the
skull, one on each side, near the tem
ples. Major S. M. Williams, United
States army, who testified at the in
quest, said King's confession declar
ed the officer was shot twice, the sec
ond shot emting his life.

the result of published reports that
King was quoted as having said the
body was within ten miles of that lit
tle town, just a fe wmiles south of
the North Carolina line.
It was developed at the inquest held
on the side of the road near where
the tragedy was enacted, that the
crime was committed in Chesterfield
County, and by consequence, the trial
of King and any others who may be
implicated, will be held in the county
seat of that county, which likewise
bears the name Chesterfield.
Major Williams was the only wit

consumed scarcely more than five
minutes. King, he said, had made a

They paid just half that price for
it originally, making a profit of 100
per cent. That’s a good way to en

Early tonight there was no report as
to whether or not he had been ar
rested. ,
King, immediately after he pointed
out the scene of the tragedy and led
the officers to what remained of the
officer’s body, was brought to Colum
bia and lodged in the Richland county
jail.' A coroner’s jury, impaneled
shortly after the discovery of Major
McLeary’s remains^ returned a ver-
sworn confession to the crime say-

Major Williams related how King had
led the searching party to the scene,
indicated the skeleton lying in the
bushtes, and said it was the remains of
Major McLeary. The automobile, ac
cording to King’s confession, as re
counted by the officer, was driven by
the two slayers of Major McLeary to
the mountains of North Carolina near
Canton, King’s home, where it was
abandoned as the result of an acci
dent.

Discovery and identification of this
automobile, a touring car, led to the
arrest of King several days ago as a
suspect, but he was released. Further
investigation, according to reports re
ceived here, resulted in the finding of
a shirt of the missing officer on
King’s premises, which led to his re

“The Spring crop of pigs is short
by 8,000,000 in the corn belt.” What
becomes of the “consciousness” of
those little pigs that never saw the
light of day?
Are they suspended somewhere in
eternity, waiting for a chance to kick
up their little legs in the corn belt
and eat good corn, previous to having
their throats cut?
If they could think at all, what
would they say of a system that
brings them into the world to eat
corn for a little while and then be
eaten by their “superiors,” a system
that keeps eight millions of them out
of the world when the price of corn
happens to go up? What is the ex
act difference between 8,000,000 pigs
and the same number of humans?

SLAYERS OF FRANKS
MAKE GUILTY PLEA
(Continued From Page One)
“Was Attorney Harrow’s move to
plead guilty a surprise to you?” they
were asked.
“We’re not allowed to say,” said
Leopold quickly. “Ask us about any
thing else but ourselves.”
They did more questioning than tlje
reporters. They were curious about
the arrangements o! the court room
and asked how large a crowd waited
outside the building. Any information
that fed their ego they listened to
eagerly.
“I'll bet we’re all over the front
page,” commented Loeb.
“There certainly was a commotion
when Mr. Darrow moved to plead
guilty,” he added.
“Better not talk any more about
that,” cautioned the conservative Leo
pold. “Let’s talk about something
else.”
But Loeb persisted. “What is it the
judge says when it is all over,” he
asked.
“The court finds— '
“Shut up,” ordered Leopold.
Sheriff Hoffmann anounced that
extra cautions would be taken to pre
vent the youthful slayers from com
mitting suicide.
“With the plea of guilty in and the
possibility that they may be sentenced

timy may try it,” he said.
