and at' 'once began a search for Mr.
Willey 's body.
Shortly, before U o'clock the grap
pling hook struck some object lying on
the bottom of th river' about 50 feet
from the place that Mr. Willey was
last seen and his bodv ascended to the
surface. The body was .badly decom
posed having beeiwnthe water for
such a long time and those on Ivoard of
the boa'Y unaccustomed an they were to
ghastly sights turned away their faces.
The body was brought tolhis city and
carried at once to H. W. Simpson's un
dertaking parlors where it was embalm
ed and prepared for shipment to his
home in Norfolk this mornirg.
The crew of the revenue cutter.
Pamlico, deserve much praise for their
work in finding the bodietof these un
fortunate men. Unceasingly they toiled
from early Monday morning until the
last body was found yepterjlay and but
for their efforts it is not "probable the
either of them have b?en located for
several days.
From what eould be learnej), Latham
had the peanuts and when Fonville de
manded a division he refused to make it

made an assault on the-'other who re

She and Her Husband Awaiting
The Action of the Grand Ju
ry, More Particulars.
Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Leora
Casey,; of tare's Chapel whose hus
band. Burrill Casey was arrested in
Una city several hours previous on a
warrant charging him with poisoning
Mr. Joseph Whitty of that place, was
placed uner arrest by Chief of Police
Rouse, of Dover, and on Monday night
was brought to this city and placed in
Craven county jail. - Both she and her
husband are, now confined in this insti
tution but on different floors, awaiting
the action of the grand jury who are
investigating their" case.
This case promises to be one of the
most sensational that has been brought
before the public in some time. Yes
terday the reporter made several in
quiries in regard to the matter, and he
was informed that the arrest of these
two people was the culmination of a se
ries of investigation that had been go
ing on for the past year.
After Mr. Joseph Whitty's death,
which occurred so suddenly a little more
than a year ago, several of his relatives
began a quiet investigation. A physi
cian from the city went to tho place
where the body was buried and after
exhuming, it he had the stomach
taken out, and this was thoroughly ex
amined by him. He was convinced that
there were indications of poisoning there
but in order to be certain he sent the
stomsch to the State Chemist. He
gave it a careful examination and also
found indications of poison. When this
state of affairs was recorded to the rel
atives of the deceased they were more
fully convinced that there had been foul
play.
Hs was stated in yestei day morning's
Journal, it was a known fact that Ca
sey had teen very intimate with Mr.
Whitty's wife while her husband was
living, and after the two were joined in
the be nds of wedlock, within three short
woeks after the death of her husband,
this of course caused suspicion to fall
on them.
Some of the leading legal tal itit of
the city has boen secured by tie rela
tives of the dead man to si 1 the prose
cution, and if the grand jury returns a
true bill every effort will ba made to
convict him.
