Harwich was standing in front of the police headquarters Thu.sday evening, he says, when a negro walked up to him. "Chief, I want to give myself up," the negro said. Why, what have you done, you want to give yourself up for?" 1 killed a nigger out at my house awhile ago." * What was the trouble?" Chief liarwiek demanded. Well, I tell you chief. I caught him foolin* round my wife, and it made .me right mad." "How did you kill him?" the chief asked next. I cut him with this here knife," taking out and handing the chief a long hladed, dangerous looking weapon. "Where did you cut him? the chief questioned. "Well, I tell you chie>f, I cut him everywhere 1 could find a place to cut him," the negro udmitt?*d. Chief Barwick accommodated the negro by sending him to the county jail,, and reported the matter to liural Policeman Doliard. DoJiard went to the negro's house and found the man on the floor, literally cut to rags. A doctor was summoned and foi two hours he washed and se we J up the wounds on the injured man who was then taken home. The next day the negro was brought back to the doctor's office. "Doctor," his companion stated 'There be some places you didn't- sew up." Seven additional cuts were found and sewed up. Strange to relate, Eddie Dargan, the negro, is expected to recover and James Winn, the negro who wielded the knife so diligently,, will be allowed to leave jaiil under' bond most any time;?Sumter Herald.

Six federal judges of New York city have .requested an investigation by a grand jury of the entire federal bankruptcy situation in New York city. Thene are too many people connected with bankruptcy cases who are' living beyond their visihle means of support the Judges lhink. Alex Hardin, 25, proprietor of a road house near Camden, Ark., charged with giving liquor to 75 high school students last fall, was shot and seriously wounded on Saturday. F. E. Sullivan, father of one of tfre girls given liquor, is held in jail pending the outcome of the shooting, but without charges lodged against him. But Dorothy Arnold Never Came Back 1 ne 18-yeai search of a mother for her daughter ended in New York City last Saturday with the death of Mrs. Mary Arnold. The daughter wa4 Dorothy Arnold who vaanitthed ao mysteriously on December 12, 11)10, and whose disappearance is still as deep a mystery as it was on that day. j The Dorothy Arnold case is on a par with that of Charles Koss of moie than half a century ago. There are hundreds of disappearances in the | larger cities but seldom one so baffling or so inexplicable as these two have been. In both cases a searcn of the whole civilized world was made without result. Back in liUO the Arnold* lived at 180 East 70th street, New York City, fr rancis Arnold, Dorothy's father, wus a wealthy importer of perfumes. The girl, then 2b, had graduated at Bryn Mawr college, in 100b. She was happy in her home, had health, wealth, breeding, attractiveness, friends, talent?-everything to be desired by a young woman. # She had planned a shopping trip for the afternoon of that ill-fated day in December, 18 years ago. Her mother had askod her to wait whilj she dressed so s.he could go with her. Oh, don't bother mother," the girl said laughingly as she went out of t^ie door. She walked through Central Park and down Fifth avenue where she skupped to buy a box of candy. At another shop she bought a hook. 1 him she vanished as completely as if the city's streets had opened and swallowed her. Clues by the hundreds, from all over the world, were reported to the police, but when run down all proved worthless. That happens in all cases of mysterious disappearances. A convict in i?hode Island "confessed" to having buried her in the cellar ?If a deserted house. Nothing was found. ^Central ^nrk wan dragged withont avail. Doi othy s mother and brother wrrt to Europe when they learned the1 girl s nearest approach to a romance had been with George Griseom who had sailed for Italy just before the young .woman's disappearance, Griscom returned with them. He convinced all he knew nothing of the case, then asKisted in the search. Gradually the search lagged and finally slopped. As the years paaraed unrelieved grief and uncertainty .undermined the health of both parents. The father died first in ld)22, leaving a fortune of more than $600,080, a third of which was Dorothy's share. And thoijgh this was widely published she did not return to claim it, a fact taken as proof she is dead. Now her mother has passed on, her life shoTtoened by this great sorrow. Will the rmystery of Dorcihy Arnajltl ever be cleared up?
