THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1906
ROBERT BRANHAM, NEGRO,
IDENTIFIED AS ASSAILANT
OF THE MISSES LAWRENCE
Caught, Taken to the Lawrence
Home and Ordered Held—
He Is Nojv in the
Tower.
In the person of Rohert Bran¬
ham, a tall, angular, ginger-cake
colored negro the authorities feel
positive that they have the brute
who some weeks ago attacked
the Misses Lawrence on Johnson
road.
This negro was captured near
Stone Mountain late Thursday
afternoon by Dairyman T. W.
Hunter and one or two citizens.
He was hurried to the Lawrence
home, where both Miss Mabel
and Miss Ethel carefully viewed
him, after which they announced
that they felt certain the guilty
negro was in custody.
Branham is the first suspect
Miss Ethel Lawrence has seen
and she seemed so positive that
it was decide to hurry the negro
to the tower and hold him until
a complete investigation could
be made.
Already witnesses have been
found who will swear that they
saw Branham in Decatur on the
day following the assault and the
piisoner himself admits that he
was in the vicinity of the Law¬
rence hofoe on the day of the
awful occurrence, although he
emphatically denies that lie is
guilty of the charge against him.
Branham, who is about 28 years
old, possesses the sharp features,
small ears and other marks men¬
tioned by the young ladies im¬
mediately after their terrible
experience, and in fact, he fills
the description in every way.
When seen in his cell on the
fourth floor of the Tower the m -
gro was very nervous and repeat¬
edly attempted to explain his
movements on the day of the as¬
sault and up to the present time.
He is lodged in a cell by himself
and is allowed to converse with
no other prisoner.
Efforts will be made to work up
a conclusive case against the pris¬
oner, and it is probable that the
Misses Lawrence will be brought
to the Tower to take a second
look at him in order that there
can be no mistake in their iden¬
tification.
T, W. Hunter, who took the
negro in custody, conducts a dairy
on the Johnson road, a short dis¬
tance from the Lawrence home
and ever since the day the young
ladies were so cruelly beaten he
has been untiring in his efforts to
apprehend the guilty brute.
A bath cleanses the skin and
rids the pores of refuse. A bath
makes for better fellowship and
citizenship. Not only should the
outside of the body be cleansed,
but occasional use of a laxative
or cathartic opens the bowels and
clears the system of effete mat¬
ter. Best for this are DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers. Pleasant
little pills that do not gripe or

WILD ANIMAL SLAVERS
KILL MONSTER ALLIGATOR
Valdosta, Ga,. Sept. 15.—The
Swilley brothers, “Jim” and
“Bill,” who have become noted
for the Dumber of wildcats, ’ga¬
tors, snakes, etc., which they
have killed in late years, have
succeeded in killing old “Bar
ney,” the monster alligator which
has been feasting on pigs, sheep,
goats and calves along Mud
kSwamp for the past ten or fifteen
years.
They ran upon the monster on
Mud Swamp while they were
hunting and fishing along the
stream. Several shots were re¬
quired to end its career, but the
Swilleys were equal to the emer¬
gency.
The ’gator measured eight feet
and nine inches in length and its
body was as large around as a
flour barrel. It is estimated that
the saurian weighed from six to
eight hundred pounds, and tiiat
it has eaten hundreds of head of
small animals belonging to the
farmers along Mud Swamp.
MAN FOUND IN SWAMP
* RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
Robbery Was Not Motive as
Pocketbook Was Not
*
Disturbed.
Reidsville, Ga., Sept. 16.—
Robert W. Moore was found dead
in the Altamaha swamp, near
Tillman’s Ferry, yesterday with
six pistol balls through him. He
appeared to have been dead for
two days.
Robbery was not the motive as
Moore had $1(1 in his pocketbook
when found.
The coroner’s jury could find
no clue.
Name for a Ship.
Oapt. Seal by, of the White Star
liner Cretic, was explaining to a
Cincinnatian that his company
hail considerable difficulty in
finding names for their new
ships, says the Philadelphia Bul¬
letin.
“Ttiey all have to end in ‘ic,’
you know,” the captain ex¬
plained.
The Cincinnatian, who was pale
and seedy, said, as he looked
dismally at the rolling ocean :
k i For a suitable name, 1 would
suggest \Seasic. 5
An Astute Boy.
The late Alfred Beit, the fam¬
ous diamond magnate, had a
small, handsome house on a huge
lot in Park lane, London’s most
fashionable street, and here he
gave occasionally very elegant
dinners. An American, at one
of Mr. Beit’s dinners asked the
millionaire what quality he con¬
sidered most essential to success.
“Astuteness, provided that in¬
dustry goes with it,” Mr. Beit
replied. “The power to see quick¬
ly and to seize every advantage,
large and small alike, is the qual¬
ity that above all others insures
success.
% i Mr. Carnegie,” Mr. Beit went
on, “tells about a little Scotch
boy who had this quality of as¬
tuteness highly developed.
“The boy’s grandmother was
packing his lunch for him to take
to school one morning. Suddenly
looking up in the old lady’s face,
he said :
k k k Grandmother, doesyer specs
magnify?’
tt « A little, my child,’ she an
swered.
U 4 Awed, then,’ said the boy,
‘1 wad juist like it is ye wad tak’
them all' when ye’re packin’ my
loonch.’ ”
For Love of All.
Miss S— is a bachelor maid of
some forty summers. She is un¬
married, not because she has
lacked proposals, but because she
prefers single blessedness to
pouring coffee and spanking ba¬
bies, says the Philadelphia Ledg¬
er. Of late she has devoted her
time to working in the slums,
chiefly among women and chil¬
dren.
A dreadful case was brought to
her recently. A woman had been
cruelly treated by her husband,
and had finally been locked out
in the street. The poor creature,
ragged and disheveled, reported
at the charity headquarters and
begged for shelter.
Miss S— herself dressed her
wouuds and then entered into a
sympathetic conversation with
the sufferer. The latter, after
recounting at length the injuries
she had borne at the hands of her
lord and master, asked a few
questions in her turn.
“Live here?” she inquired.
“No,” answered Miss S—; “I
spend only a certain time here
every day. My home is on Fifth
avenue.”
“You’re married, aintyou?”
“No, I am not married.”
The woman opened her bruised
eyes in amazement.
“My 1” she said sympathetical¬
ly. “I’m awful sorry. Ain’t it
fierce to he an old maid?”
