Sydney Price, the alleged slayer of Agatha Elliott and Rachael Williams, passed through this town at about 10 o’clock last night on his way to deliver himself up to the police at May Pen. He arrived at the home of one of his friends and asked for someone to accompany him to the station as he feared an attack by the crowd that would follow him. Walter Wilson, one of his young friends accompanied him and they journeyed on the railway track to avoid the eyes of people in this town who would surely crowd to see him.It is alleged that Price expressed vgreat regret for his actions and remarked that he loved the girl more than how he loved himself. His chief food for the past five days was coconuts and pineapples which he found in the woods. He also said, it is further stated, that he saw the interment of the remains of the dead woman and heard all the remarks passed against him by the searchers.Before reaching the police station Price stopped at a bakery and asked for a loaf of bread to appease his hunger. This was given him and after eating it he went to the station where was promptly arrested.
