Morehouee Situa
tion Very Serious
-Many Suspected
The situation in Morehouse parish is
growing more serious according to
newspaper reports, and many develop
ments are expected within the next
few days. Dr. McKoin, the physician
who received seevral letters threaten
ing his life, and who left that country
on the advice of friends, has been
located: in Boston. According to the
papers, whi'h have during the investi
gation printed many conflicting re
ports, he will brought back as a wit
ness. Then another report states that
he has been charged with murder in
connection with the disappearance of
the two men.
A paper published in that parish
states that the citizenship deos not ap
preciate the free publicity they are get
ting, nor was it necessary to put arm
ed guards on the job.
It is true that the dailies have play
ed up the situation, and from their
point of view it is worse and getting
"worser." As to the final outcome, no
I one can hardly predict anything defin
ite.
Many arrests are expected to be
made before another week is over, and
it is stated that some of the most
prominent citizens in that section will
be taken into custody.
