aire Canadian who made a fortune in gold mines, was found bludgeoned to death in his bed in 1943. There had been a crude attemptTb biirn the body, but the bed only smouldered. The House assembly voted Unanimously Tuesday to reopen the murder case on petition of .Stevenson,' editor of the Nassau Herald. Among those voting was U. C. Christie, a house guest of the Oakes the night Sir Harry's body was found.

Count Alfred de Marigny, husband of Nancy Oakes, daughter of Sir Harry, was tried on a murder charge and acquitted. The case remained unsolved and one private investigator, Betty Renner, a reporter-lawyer from Washington, was found dead several years laater in a well near Nassau. Stevenson said he was convinced the man who engineered the murder was an important Nassau businessman but that he did not want to take advantage of his parlia-

Dixie Cats Provide Music At Breakfast Rock and roll rhythms will take a back seat at the all-night party for the 1959 Decatur high school class early Friday morning as the Dixie Cats will provide the musical fare for the Lions-sponsored breakfasters. Gener 1 chairman L. E. <23 Skidoo) Anspaugh said that the local combo of Chuck Kester, on

the ivories, Harold Cox, on horn, and Manuel Mendez, on, the licorice stick, wilt supplement the headline entertainer from Fort Wayne. The nostalgic aura created by the dixieland sounds appears to be more for the benefit of the sponsors, who are a bit older than their guests. Festivities for the all-night event will start with a dance at the high school, concluding with the breakfast at the American Legion home. Other facets of the

evening will include a luncheon at the Community and Youth Center, sponsored by Psi lota Xi, Tri Kappa, Beta Sigma Phi, and Delta Theta Tau, social sororities, and a special technicolor movie at the Adams theater, through the courtesy of owner Roy Kalver. Over 2.500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.
