at Augusta, Ga.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 15.—Eva Carr,

Jones aud as Eva Powell, was found
dead in her bed in the front room cf her
home, at 14 Marburv street, yesterday

the dead woman lay thrown wide open,
tho front door ajar and both windows
up. The inmates of the house for the
night, Eiila Crouch aud C. M. Jones,
did not know of the crime until they
got up yesterday morning. They had
heard nothing duriug the night to cause
them to make an investigation.
An examination of the premises
showed that the house was entered irom
a side window opening into the yard.
Two beer k^gs had been roiled under
iite window and piled one upon the
other. The kegs were gotten several
doors away. The window had evidently
been raised with difficulty, as t wo panes
cf glass had been cracked. Ac the front
window a brick was found oa the out
side ou the siil, but the window could
not be forced, as it had beeu nailed.
Prints of the keg on the ground under
another side window showed that an
effort had been made to raise it.
The police placed Eula Crouch, C. M.
Jones, Jesse Williams, Jesse Wiicon and
Ed Spencer under arrest to await the
investigation.
An unfinished letter was found ou the
dresser of the dead woman. It was
dated Oct. 13 aud indicated au affection
on the part of the woman for Jesse Wil
son, to whom it was written.
Speer had been discarded by Eva Carr
for Wilson some time ago.
The real name of the woman is Eva
Powell. Her parents reside near Amer
icas, Ga. From letters received from
the mother it is evident that they wero
ignorant of the life the daughter was
leading. They thought her married.
