Parties at the Old Mill continue numerous, where delicious food and a most interesting Southern atmosphere lure many who wish to motor the ten miles outside of -the usual routine. Green Leaf Villa as always is well patronized, and the Precipice in still another direction with its pretty miniature golf course is exceedingly popular.

A renewal of the almost inces* sant hummering at the stories of Charles Hunna, 50, and Earl Oonald, 42, brought hope today that the, pair might "break." If their vague accounts of witnessing Melvin's deuth are true, officials hoped they would reach the point where they would tell what became of the body. Finding of the body, Prosecutor Marion Graven and his special assistant, Walter G. Mougey, Said, is imperative definitely to clear up the baffling mystery, of what happened to Melvin after he vanished from his Orrville home December 27, 1928. Mr. Graven said eyery resource at the command of Wayne county officials would be thrown into the search for the body, although systematic hunts during the last 14 months have failed to reveal a single trace of Melvin. * Both Conald, an old friend of the Horst family, and Hanna, a former neighbor of the Horsts, have signed statements saying the other killed the child while they were drinking in a garage the day Melvm disappeared but profess to know nothing of what disposal was made of the body. Questioners of Conald and Hanna held the theory that the men, assumipj^ their statements thus far are [ true/ Refuse to tell what was done with the body to protect themselves from threatened murder charges, and to avoid implication of others. Horst Murderer Confessed Wooster, Ohio, Feb. 19.?Charles Hannah, 50, tonight confessed to the murder of Melvin Horst, 4, Orrville, Decemlber 27, 1928, according to Ora Slater, special investigator. Slater said that to would be unable to give any more details at present because he feared that it -would "spoil their case." Officer Hurt in Collision Motorcycle ^officer J. W. Cole suffered severe bruises Tuesday morning when he'crashed into an automobile and was thrown violently to the ground. The accident happened on East Rutledge street. Young Thilten Hasty was driving a car in front of officer Cole and is said to have made a qdlck turn to the left as he put out his hand for a signal. The motorcycle was too close to stop and the crash followed. Mr. Cole suffered a bad scalp wound, a broken bone in his wrist and other bruises. He was carried to the hospital for surgical attention but in the afternoon was able to return to his home. His injuries will keep him off duty for several days, Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Jeter, of Bishopville, are guests at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. F. iSowelL Jury Disagreed On Whitley Case After remaining out from 3:40 o'clock Saturday ufternoon until 7:1ft Sunday morning. " little more than fifteen hours, the jury hearing the case of Thomas Whitley charged with the murder of Wyatt Patterson, failed to agree. Judge C. J. Kamage, who had been summoned to court ordered a mistrial and left immediately for his home in Saluda. Three full days were consumed in the trial of this case and forty-four witnesses, including the defendant, were heard in the long drawn out trial which Clerk of Court James 11. Clyburn estimates cost the county slightly more than $1,000. Thomas Whitley, young white man, was accused of shooting to death and then cutting the throat of Wyatt Patterson, a well known and highly respected negro of Kershaw. His body lay in the road for several days before being found. Whitley was juiled on suspicion after strong circumstantial evidence connected him with the crime. The testimony of the state was to the effect that tracks fitting those of the dead man and those of the defendant were found leading from the road across a field the hody. A pocket book and screw driver said to have been taken off the dead man and found in possession of Whitley's kindred, played a part in the testimony. Both articles were identified by the widow of the dead man as those belonging to her husband. A pair of- overalls, said by Whitley not to have been worn since last June, which had blood spots on them tallied with the blood found on leaves around where the body was. found according to testimony of Dr. George F. Klugh. a chemist brought here from Atlanta to testify. William M. Perry, a gun expert of Columbia, testified that ?n empty gun shell found within twelVe feet of the dead body was the same fired from a gun which was admittedly in possession of the defendant \yheu thp slaying took place. Various salesmen of Kershaw testified. It was brought out that Whitley on Friday before the killing had sought credit for thirty cents and yet on Saturday and Monday following spent about $25 and was seen with an extra ten dollar bill. He did not account for any money secured after his attempt to get credit for thirty cents. Cashier McDonald, of the Kershaw Banking and Mercantile Company, testified to the fact that he had paid Patterson the sum of $46.11 on Wednesday before he met death. No money was found on the dead man except a few cents. Jethro Laney testified that he heard the W?port of a gun and thereafter saw the defendant hurriedly running up a street which led to the school house near where the killing occurred. Whitley took the stand in his own behalf and attempted to establish an alibi as tc his whereabouts at the time of the killing. The twelve men trying this case were B. W. Marshall, foreman, J. A. Hasty, G. F. Watts, D. M. Davis, J 7. Rush, W. Tj -Davis, J. J. Tolbert, W. H. Marshall, J. W. McLain, J. ' I. Turner,- Joseph Sheheen and L. A. Campbell.

In crashing into the curb the Carlos car smakhed a wheel and caused it to come to%a stop. Faulty brakes was given as the cause of the accident by Carlos. In clear weather there is almost always a crowd congregated where the car made its path down the pavement, but a slight rain was falling at the time and the only one to suffer damage at the time was Carson Parker, a Postal messenger boy, who got out of the wild car's way, but had his bicycle smashed. Carlos was fined $10 in Recorder's court Monday morning after agreeing to pay all costs of damage to the other car and the bicycle.

' . *' A contract for the construction of eleven miles of grading and top soil- , ing on the road through Liberty Hill to the Catawba river will bo let by the state highway department soon, as bids huve been asked for and the engineers who are to work on this project arrived. In Lancaster the fore pait ol the week. This road will connect Camden, Liberty Hill, great l ulls ami Chester as a bridge across the Catawba river that has been used by the Duke Power compuny can be converted into a traffic bridge although it has only been used to carry supplies across the river. Most of this stretch of eleven miles lies in Lancaster county while a part lies in Kershaw county. The contract docs not specify what kind of material must be excavated in the " 'T~* cuts but it Is believed that the project will call for the excavation of much rock as the route lays in that section of Lancaster and Kershaw tountles which is very rocky and i ough. When this road is completed it will probably be used by tourists in going from the populated sections of the Piedmont belt to Myrtle Beach. By going through Chester, Great halls and Camden a fow miles may be saved. The cost of the proposed eleven, mile construction is hard to estimate as material to be excavated is unclassified but it is believed that the contract will call for an expenditure of more than $200,000. In ruse the state highway bond issue is pussed it is believed that a short jcut road from Ridgeway to Great Falls will be built saving an-. v "*' other ten miles in the distance from Lancaster to Columbia. In case this is done the distance from this ]J>olnt. to the state eapitol will be only about fifty-two miles.?Lancaster News Low Bidders on Project Lancaster-Kershaw counties: Grading and surfacing with topsoil and disintegrated granite of 11.273 miles of Route 97 from Catawba river near Great Falls to Liberty Hill: Powell Paving company, Winston-Salem, N.
