Chera*, S. C., July 17.?A horrible and nauseating heap of human bones, picked bare of flesh by carrion eaters and covered with rotting remnants of clothing, today put a definite and offi cial end to the mysterious disappear _ c ance of Major Samuel H. McLeary of the United States Army which baffled solution from July 2, when the officer left. Raleigh* by automobile for Colum bia, S. C., until Wednesday, when Mortiner N. King, a mill operative of Canton, confessed he had shot the officer two weeks before. This morning King made good on his wretched story by leading Officers to a wooded spot about 200 feet from the main north and south line of travel at a point twelve miles from Che raw. There the prisoner, who on his all night ride from Canton here had freely laughed and joked despite the plainly expressed contempt of the officers who accompanied him, was transformed instantly into a cowering and hysterical wretch in the face of the remains which could not by any remote stretch of the imagination be termed a body. The affair definitely proves three things; "It Is still possible for a man to be killed in broad daylight on the public highway in this part of the civilized wiorld through no other mo tive than the remote chance of rob bery; the supreme penally of death, can be paid for no greater crime than obeying the kindly instinct .which prompts a man with a ride to share j. i .. . uidl^Umtd l ? . o_ ?
