By the Assoclated Press. | LITTLE ROCK, Ark., January 13. —A | fourth person fell victim yesterday to | the homicidel mania of Arnold Comer, | 21, who as a lad of 14 killed three per- | sons and wounded three others shortly | after he had left his mountain home in Marion County to make his own way | in_the world. The latest victim was Millard Stan- ley, 27, Comer’s roommate at the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, beaten to death with a window weight as he slept. After an inquest, during which Comer was forcibly restrained from leaping upon Dr. L. C. Aday, coroner, that official returned a verdict of death at the hands of Comer, an insane per- | son, “therefore not responsible.” Terrorized Countryside. Armed with a shotgun, Comer left his mountain cabin home in December, 1925, because his brothers were “mean” to him, and for several days terrorized an entire countryside. His first victims were a farmer, his | wife and child, wounded when they appeared at the door of their house in answer to a call from the road. The next day Mrs. Sarah Boyd and her baby were killed after Mrs. Boyd started to prepare a meal for the boy. Mrs. Boyd was shot to death and the baby killed with a rock. | The next victim was Charles Moore, | a fur trader, whom Comer met on the highway and killed after a short con- versation. Captured in Barn. A few days later officers found the boy sleeping in a barn, with four re- | volvers and a shotgun by his side. He could offer no motive for the| killings, except to say he “liked” fire- arms. Hospital authorities said he had been | & model inmate until yesterday. |GUARDS INCREASED More Police Are Placed at New| Structures Following Recent Mysterious Fire. To guard against possible sabotage on incompleted Government buildings, a new and greatly strengthened force of | guards, both day and night, has been placed on the principal new public structures underway in the downtown area. This development, it has been learned, followed the recent fire of mysterious origin which swept through the top floor of the new Interstate Commerce Commission Building at Twelfth street and Constitution avenue. | While Fire Marshal Calvin Lauber | and some other officials believe the fire | mey have been sterted by an accident, | such as a carelessly tossed cigarette, | there are others who feel there is a strong possibility of sabotage. | The greatest danger, it was pointed out, appears to lic in the group of un- employed, which has been increasing heavily here during the Winter months as news of the Government building in Washington continues to spread throughout the coutry. Both construc- tion and Government officials feel the pending jurisdictional dispute between the hoisting engineers and the elevator constructors unions had absolutely nothing whatever to do with the recent fire. 1If the fire was started deliberately, some believe it more likely would have to obtain employment.
