Willia Neel, colored, apparently

lodged In the city Jail Monday
charged with stealing an automo
bile. George Williams missed his
Icar and reported it to the police,
and shortly afterwards Willie was
found in ft in nn alley off Broad
street. When the police approach
ed him he made an attempt to get
away but they caught him.
He had tom a Yale lock from

Mtarted for Athens to visit tier
daughter, Mrs. John Doster who**
husband is employed by the B>.uth-
ern Manufacturinf company. They
were supposed to have boarded
Uainesvllie Midland train that
passed Jefferson about 5 o’clock.
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Aimmons
was credited with having received
a note from her daughter urging
her to come to Athens but Mr* Kim
mens told the officers that it was
not Jn bis daughter's bandwriting.
Sunduy night when Informed of the
discovery and the fact that
bodies' were believed to be tho.te cf
the mother and sister of Mrs.
Doster, both said they knew noth
ing of a visit by the two here and
bad written no note to Mrs. Sim
mons.
Mr. Doster said that his wife
had received a letter from her
mother asking them to come to
Jefferson to spend Sunday. Mr.
and Mrs. Doster went to Jefferson
Sunday night.

Another theory, though not gen

the mother and daughter never

abandoned house to escape
rain and were there attacked
that both fell to sleep and that the

Sheriff Collier arrived In Athens
about 11 o’clock Monday morning
and Immediately began a search
for evidence here that would show
that the Ill-fated pair arrived on
the Gainesville Midland train that
came In Saturday at f:lt p. m
ten minutes late.
Taxicab drivers and others who
are usually around the depot could
give no Information while tht
conductor of the train was not cer*
tain that he hauled such passen*
The sheriff, however, met with
better success when he talked
Mrs. Haskell Porter, daughter
Sheriff Crow of Hall county, over
the telephone. Mrs. Porter came to
Athens on the O.-M train to vtftt
friends here and told the sheriff
that she distinctly remembered
the two gttelnjr on the train at
Jefferson and then getting off at
Athensi. The description she gave
correspoded with the pair, the
little girl being easily identified
on account of having a halrllp, a
fact that Mrs. Porter recalled.
Other additional Information
was gathered by Sheriff Collier
when a long distance telephone
call from Jefferson said that an
employee of the factory there waa
at th« depot here and saw the
oouple yet In a closed taxi. This
Informant haa been sumn
here for the purpose of Identifying,
If possible, the driver of the car.
Sheriff Collier stated Monday a-
ternoon i*iaf he was satisfied that
the woman and child came to Ath
ena and that they must now be fol
lowed back to the spot where thel*
charred bodies were found Hun
day mornlny.
