JORDAN & BRO. THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 28. 1903. MURDERERS HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND. THE MYSTERY OF GEORGE WOR THEN’S DEATH HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED Ul’-DEPLORABLE AFFAIR. The coroners inquest over the body of .young George Worthen who was killed Tuesday morning of last week was held last Thursday and the result of its findings was that he came to his death at the hands of parties unknown. The inquest was held behind closed doors. A postmortem examination of the body revealed the fact that he came to his death from a gun shot wound. He was shot from behind with a shot gun, the whole back of his head being blowed out and ahole made in which a doublefist could be placed. The funeral and burial occurred at the family burial grounds near Piedmont last Friday and was attended by a large concourse of friends and relatives who gathered to pay their respects to the mortal remains of the deceased young man and it was an exceedingly sad interment. The details of the murder were were about as was reported last week and it was a very horrible affair and there are various theories as to the manner in which it came about and as to the perpetrators of the deed, but the exact truth of the matter will probably never be revealed, al though every effort has been made to find the guilty parties. The murder was a most brutal one and it is one of the most deplorable things that has hap pened in our county in a long time. The murderer if ever dis covered should he punished to i the fullest extent of the law. The ! family of the'deceased have the sympathy of the people. Mr. Wor then was well known here,being a j graduate of Gordon Institute and was a frequent visitor to this city, and he numbered his friends by the the score. He was also prominent in business circles hav ing considerable interests and property at Piedmont and in that vicinity. It will be remem bered that his store at that place was burned several months ago and it is very probable that the same party was the perpetrator of both deeds. It is to be hoped that the person who is guilty of these crimes will he apprehended. Notice of Sale. By virtue of the power vested in me by Bill of Sale - from J. J. Rogers to E. H.
