Pittman Murdered, Robbed and Bod.v
Thrown Into Kiver in Butts County.
Jackson, Ga. July 21.—Robbery is
suspected as the motive for the mur¬
der of C. A. Pittman, Butts county
farmer and operator of Pittman’s
Ferry, on the Ocmulgee river, between
Jackson and Monticello, whose body
was recovered from the Ocmulgee
river at an early hour Saturday. He
was killed at his store near the river
The body was dragged to the river
and thrown from the ferry into the
water.
The body was recovered by divers
on the first attempt on the Butts
county side of the stream.
Three negroes, said to be residents
of Jasper county have been arrested
They are Wallace Dowell, Jim Gools¬
by and the third name unknown.
Sheriff Walter Pope, of Butts county,
who is investigating the crime, ha3
gone for the two boys of Dowell, who
are believed to be implicated.
The theory of the crime is that the
blacks came across the river in boats
the ferry having been tied up on the
Butts county side of the stream, went
to the store of Mr. Pittman, and on
the pretext of making a purchase
struck him down. His head was
crushed with a blunt instrument. Blood
stains were found on the overalls of
the Dowell negro.
Mr. Pittman is said to have kept
considerable amount of cash on hand,
the receipts from his store and ferry.
Some money was missing, also a pis
tol and the keys of the murdered man.
Divers are now searching the river
in an effort to find the keys and pistol.
Mr. Pittman slept in a small house
near the river in order to be conven
ient when summoned to operate the
ferry
The crime was detected detettid earlv eail> Sat Sat
in-day when members of his family
went to summon him to breakfast.
The crime has aroused the citizens
of Butts and Jasper counties. An in¬
quest will be held by Coroner Buford
of Butts county.
Mr. Pittman was about 70 years of
age. He is survived by his wife; four
sons, J. L. Pittman, of Covington; E.
L. Pittman, of West Palm Beach, Fla ;
N. C. and C. M. Pittman, and a daugh¬
ter, Mrs. C. A. Bankston, of Jackson.
Hundreds of people have been attract¬
ed to the scene of the crime and are
aiding the officers in working to ap¬
prehend the guilty parties.
