Body of Major Meteary
Found By His Slayer
in Woods near Cheraw
King TnUs How He and Frank
Harrett Flagged Major Me
Levy's Automobile, Rode
With him, Then Shot There
Benefactor. .
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
