Nashvilte, Tonn,, July -l). Frank
Haricil, i? young man of Si<5, sit* to

with his composure breaking fast aw
hi- ( onm c? ion with' i la- murder of
Maj. Sanuud ll. M0l.1A1y July >i, near
' Cheiaw, S. beginsyto break upon
hi* awakening conscience..
Major McLeujry wn> - h < ? t dead by
Mori imer \ King. I f i body was left
i in a patch of woods not far from the
highway. llarroJI came \V?*st, mak
ing no effort to cover up the crime,
i No idea. of the hue and cry over the
vou)H ? y and tin- price on, his head
was known to him. He neither leads
' nor writes and so newspapers meant
nothing.
Thinking to put as much ground as
possible/ between himself and the
scene of the crnmt, Han ell went to
Ashland City, where he has a mother
and a brother in-law. His brother,
Herald, was with him and both sought
jobs in Nashville.
Tuesday afternon as they walked
through South Nashville they were
picked up by officers. This morning
- Frank Harrel was brought to detec
tive headquarters and charged with
the ciimc. His description had proved
his undoing.
"You killed Maj. - .Samuel 1 1 . Mc
I.eary, you and King."
Harrel! "stalled" but a* scar after
scar, as mark after mark of his body
-tallied with those on the circular
from Columbia, his will gave way.
"I was with him,", he said, "but 1
am as innocent as. the angels in
heaven."
"You killed him."
"No, King killed him, Martin King.
That's his name, it isn't Mortimer
King shut him twice and then turned
his gun on me and said, If you cheep
about this, I'll bump you off too."
Officers checked his story With the
report from South Carolina officials
and found that it rang true in almost
every detail. A few' minutes later and
Harrell told Ids story to several news
paper men, t old it as he plucked at
bis lingers and hit his lips.
Harrell saw service in France.
He was with the famous Rainbow
division, of the first to go. For more
than two years he was in active ser
mi i;. A machine gun bullet ploughed
tin oiigh his stomach at St. Mihiel.
Another raked his leg in the Argonne.
His talk was shot through with
"cheeping," "bumping off," "gats"
and the like. Back home he found
the nulls still running but the war
ha<l bred discontent. He went from
job to job, tramping the roads, bum
ming rides and , usually accompanied
by Martin King, Who also saw service
in I-' ranee with the Fifth marines.
King, he Knew, carried a "gat."
\!l that he told as he sat there in j
'!.<? office of the thief of detective-..
