Anderson Man Surrenders To Pi^ce
and Protests His Innocence of
Murder of Woman.
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

Then came definite information that
she was the wife of’ W. L. 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.
