Man Thought Drown=
ed Found In New
Crleans.
Cordele, Oct. 22.—When J. T,
Hill, a prominent attorney of this
city, shook hands this morninz at
New Orleans with A, J. Fenn, &
a former Cordele citizen, knowi
edge of which came through a
telegram received hereabout noon
he also shook hands with a reward
of $2.500.
Over the alleged drowning of
Fenn, Mrs. Nancy E. Fenn, of
this city, who has connections
among the most prominenv people
here, brought suit about two years
ago 1n the superior court of Crisp
county for the recovery of insur
ance money on the life of her hus
band on policies issned by the
Greensboro Life Insurance Com
pany of Greensboro, N. C., for
$lO,OOO and the Southern States
Life Insurance Company, of At
lanta, for $5,000. The reward of
$2,500 was offered by the insur
ance companies for knowledge of
the alleged drowned man. The
suit against the Greensboio com
pany has been deeided by the
superior court 1n favor of the
plaintiff, Mrs, Fenn, and the cuse
is now pending before the state
supreme court on & motion for a
new trial petitioned for by the in
surance company.
Colonel Hill, with his law part
ner, J. W. Dennaid of this city,
are members of the counsel for
the insurance companies together
with Jacksor and Orme of Atlanta
and A, L. Brooks, of Greensboro.
The cases have been prosecuted
by Crum and Jones of this city.
When the cases came to trial in
the superior court the star witness
es introduced for the prosecution
were R. H. Roberts and J. S.
Land, two young men of Tift
county, whom the counsel for the
defense have charged as being re
lated, and it was also brought out
thas Land was a former employe
of Fenn, who has been one of the
most prominent lumber and naval
stores manufscturers in Georgia
and Florida. The two witnesses
testified that early on the morning
of April 20, 1910, they, in com
pany with Mr. Fenn, left Bain
bridge in a row boat to float down
the river to some point in Florida,
where Fenn had business interests,
It was a cool morning, they testi
fied, and Mr. Fenn, who took no
part in the rowing, became stiffen
ed. Ata point a short distance
from Blountstone, Florida, and
where the river was unusually
swifi, Mr. Feen arose for some
purpose trom his seat in the boat,
falling overboard. The witnesses
stated that he weat under the swift
current and they saw him no mere,
they presuming he had taken
cramps.
The news of Fenn being located
in New Orleass created a sensa
tion in Cordele. It is presumed
that Colonel Hiil had some knowl
edge of his whereabouts before
going to New Orleans, though it
is stated that he had other business
there. A large number of friends
in Cordele and this section have
implicit confidence in Fenn, and
they have stoutly contended that
he was dead, as reported. It is
stated, however, that the alleged
dead man had been seen by Cor
dele citizens at points in Florida,
and an effort was made at that
time, which was a few months
after his reported drowning, to
capture him, though he evaded
those pursuing him. At one time
it is said, Fenn was on one side of
the street in a Florida town, while
those who were searching for him
were on the other, though Fenn
saw them and hurriedly left the
town, It is also claimed that let
ters have been received from him
by relatives here since he has been
reported dead,

For the flrst fourteen days of
October, while the strike on that
