They Stole A Pig And Landed In Jail
Eddie Williams and Emma Dee Samuels,
colored, are firm believers In the
old nursery rhyme which tells of Tom,
Tom, the Piper's Son, Stole a Pig and
Away he ran the Pig was Eat ana Tom
was beat and Tom ran crying down the
street."
Well Emma and Eddie did not go crying
down the street but they did do some
sobbing in the dark recesses of a cell at
the county Jail. Emma and Eddie stole
a pig belonging to Willis Holiday, butchered
it and appeared to have a supply of
pork chops for many weeks. They rec- j
koned however without thought of Alva
Rush, chief of the Camden police.
Alva, when Informed of the missing
pig, set his human bloodhounds at work
and located Emma and Eddie as the culprits.
And whon Magistrate Davis heard
the story he decided that Emma and Ed- |
die would spend Christmas In peace and,
comforf. Thirty days apiece In the county
bastile.

I KIN APPEAR8 TO CLAIM
FORTUNE LEFT BY WOMAN
j New York, Dec. 6.?A movie usher
and a ballet dancer awoke one day
last fall to find themselves the bewildered
inheritors of a $1,500,000 fortune?and
they awoke today to discover
the hitch in the too-good-to-betrue
story.
The usher, William Rcilly, worked!
at tho Roxv theater, and _the..dancer.!
Rosalie Knisfcern, at the Radio City
Music Hall. About the only thing
they knew they had In common was
that they were kind to a little old
lady who. clad in the rustling silks of
a forgotten mode, visited their respective
theaters on mild little pleasure
excursions.
Then, last .September, the little old
lady died.
She was Mrs. Edna Elliott, an obscure
millionairess, and she willed her
fortune to the usher and to the dancer.
But yesterday,' just as the will was
to be probated, another claimant to
the fortune appeared?George R. B.
Morse, of Bartlesville, Okla., a traveling
printing salesman. k
He said that he was Mrs. Elliott's
cousin, next of kin, and sole surviving
relative?and entitled to the $1,500,000.
His lawyer? filed a motion to prevent
the probate and have a trial of
his claim. The attorneys said that
Mrs. Elliott never had known Morsea
personally?he claim? to be the sen Of
her mother's brother?and that she
had no Idea he was a cousin only by
adoption.
It will be a month or more before
the case comes to trial?a trial to see
whether the "fairy godmother" was
too good to be true or not. "
The value of a toad Is $24, according
to estimates of the United States
government.
