W, Peacock of Thomaaville, N. C., who escaped from the criminally insane Ward of state's prison here; August d0? 1U22, and for whom a nation wide search was instituted, was captured at El Cajon, Calif., yester day, state prison officials announced tonight. 'Prison officials received word of the capture today from Warden S, J. Busbee of the prison,' who effected the man's rearrest. Warden Busbee had been sent to' California on a "tip" that I)r, Peacock was in that state. The trial of l)r. Peacock for the killing of Chief of Police J. Tay lor of Thomasville, N. C., his subse quent committal to the insane de partment of state's prison, his escape and the nationwide search which it precipitated, forms one of the most, noted criminal cases in the. annals of North Carolina. Chief Taylor was shot down by the physician in the streets of Thomas ville early in April, 1921. Peacock was jailed and at his trial in June of that year was found to be insane by the jury and was committed to the insane department of . state's prison. August 30, 1922, Peacock escaped from the prison by sawing the bars of his cell and tying .his blankets into a rope down which he descended. Prison officials immediately insti tuted a nationwide search and last year Peacock was seen by a North Carolinian in Florida, who reported the matter. The doctor had appeared before Florida officials, had himself examined and declared sane and had resumed the practice of his profes sion. Governor Morrison at once re quested his extradition by the execu tive of Florida, and a hearing took place in Tallahassee. It was an nounced that Peacock would be re turned to North Carolina but before the papers could be issued he dis appeared. He had not been1 under arrest while the hearing was in progress. A few weeks ago he was traced to Los Angeles', Calif., but there he dis appeared. Last week prison officials were notified that a man believed to be Peacock was at El Cajon, Calif. Governor Morrison at the request of Superintendent Pou of the prison, issued extradition papers naming Warden Busbee , as the agent of North Carolina. Warden- Busbee left at once for the western state aiid ex perienced no difficulty, atc'ording to dispatches received here, in locating Peacock and affecting his arrest. Warden Busbee notified Superinten dent Pou that Peacock .would fight extradition but, in anticipation of this, the warden was given authority to employ counsel in the matter. YOUTH KILLS FIRST COUSIN. Harvey Smoak Shoots Clifford Net tles; Dies on Way to Hospital. Walterboro, Sept. 16.^ ? An unfor tunate killing occurred Saturday night in the Shiloh section of the county when Harvey Smoak shot and killed Clifford Nettles, a first cousin. It seems that the boys met on the road after having bfeen out calling on friends. Clifford Nettjes, Earl Lane and Eddie Smoak were riding along the road singing. Henry Kin sey and Harvey Smoak heard them coming and stopped to wait for them. They sat down beside the road. When the three boys rode up Ken sey and Smoak were found lying bo side the road. Nettles got down and called to them. They did not re spond to his call. He then tapped Kensey with his riding whip play , fully. Kensey told him to stop and then he tapped Harvey Smoak, who was lying face downward with head on arm. He pulled a pistol from un der him and without looking up shot, the bullet striking Nettles in the abdomen and passing upward Net tles exelhlmed, "Oh, Harvey you have shot mo," and then walked off a few steps, iying down. Harvey Smoak went homo and Nettles was taken in a car and rushed to Walter boro to the hospital but died just be fore reaching the hospital. Coroner I. W. Dobson held an inquest Sunday. Smoak is in jail. The affair is" very much regretted. There was no bad feeling in connec tion with the killing. Nettles and Smoak were the best of friends and had had no quarrel of any kind. The laws which permitted execu tions by the axe wore not repealed until 1747. The burial grounds of China have always been held sacred, not to be disturbed under any circumstances. The result is that one-twentieth of the country is now ocupied by graves. The problem is assuming serious pro portion#. Two Kurd* in Collision.
