Mr. L. M. Ball, income tax expert

in Americus at 1 o’clock Wednesday
night from the effects of too much
whiskey. The Americus Times-Re

quarters. Lieut. Glawson answered
the call immediately, accompanied by
G. A. Sykes. After seeing that he
was in a serious condition of intoxi
cation, Dr. J. W. Chambliss was sum
moned. Ball rallied slightly after re
ceiving medical attention, but soon
lapsed into a deep coma from which,
he never recovered. Dr. Chambliss
in a statement said ■ that Ball had
taken so much whiskey that his sys
tem could not rally from its effects.
’So far as I am able to determine at
present the whiskey was not poison

died on a cot in the office of the po
lice station.” ,
