Anderson', March 11.—An Anderson man was in jail here tonight charged with the murder of Mrs. Clara Adams of Dewey Rose, Ga. F. B. Spence, young married mart, surrendered to police today and ended a search that started shortly after the body of the 50-year-old Gedrgia woman was found in a tree overhang ing., the Saluda river with' bullet wounds in the breast and forehead. He admitted leaving hi^ home here with her, but denied any knowledge cf her death. “Mrs. Adams came to Anderson for me on Dec. 16,” Spence-told reporters. "She was traveling in a coupe and in sisted that I go with her. I didn’t know where we were going, but we son, Scott, Sloan, J. Rutledge Smith, left that day and went to Rockwood, Jr., J.

Adams, Dewey Rose, Ga., farmer, ^nd that her alleged slayer was believed to be known and would probably be arrested in a short time. Newspaper and law enforcement * officers were beseiged with telephone calls, and papers .sold on,the streets like hot cakes. Belief that the hunt had been tem porarily unsuccessful, and that the search would settle down to a waiting game brought a slight decrease in general interest over the week-end* when surrender of the suspect about noon today jolted the citizenry again. The development was the thing least suspe1;ted. IfSI r’XlI.'I'l-L'Lil/.l liMMIfeHiadMiSiaiSiiB CRASH OF BATS HEARD AGAIN Calhoun Thompson, Verner, Williams.
