THIRD TRIAL MURDER CHARGE
Wrightsville, Oct. 3.—Ed Montford,!
ried three times on the charge of
purdering Herschel Beacham, mem
ver of a prominent family of Dublin,
vas set free by a jury here about mid

ind weighting it down with a heavy
ron, he is said to have thrown it into
’ he river.
~ John Gardner, a negro employed in
‘Tontford’s pressing ciub, who was ar
’ ested, turned state’s evidence and im-
Jlicated Montford, claiming that he
ad gone to the river with Montford
nd Beacham, the latter having heen
ured there on the claim that they
vere to meet a party from Macon.
Gardner told where a vlauable dia
nond stud which had been taken from
jeacham could be found, and it was
ater recovered by detectives. For sev
ral months after his arrest, in Sep
ember, 1914, Montford was confined
n the Bibb county jail.

LESS LIKE MYSTERY

ery” of the man’s head found near
he Peters street viaduct in a batch
f waste paper intended for a paper
sompany has been dispelled. The
oncern’s superintendent Saturday de
luced the following:
“It is very probabie that this head
vas discarded by a medical college
wnd cast into a batch of trash and old
yapeys. You will not that the head
5 sawed in half along the medial line
wnd that the brain is missing. Also
hat the lips and eyes are sewed to
elher with catgut, which looks like
he work of an inquisitive medical
student.” - ;
