AJiorriblc discovery was made hero tonight which
Will probably bring to light one of the most atro.
Clous crimes ever conjraltted. Hell’s Half. Acre
lit a long been the rendczvoua of the worst criminal
rlasces. and nightly fights occur there. foadiu?
through Hell’f Half Acre to northwest Nashville Is
A narrow street, called Helleville, extremely muddy
In rainy weather and at places almost Impassable.
One of the worst places is adjoining Jim Mason's
tannery, which is separated from the street by a
low brick wall, and Inside which tanbark is piled
to the top of the wall. Passers-by Jump over the
wall and walk on the bark to avoid tire rand,
lugcne Holt, a workman at the Chattanooga rail-
yoad yards, was going home tonight, and was walk
Ing on the bark, when he stumbled over some
thing. and stooping In the darkness caught hold of
A clammy human hand.
Hastily striking a match, he saw a naked arm.
And, pulling It np. found It was separated from the
Jody. He at once raised an alarm, and an excited
find curious crowd gathered, with lanterns, spadea
and forks, and began a search for the body. One
memW rafter another was uncovered in various
Apots, until seven horrible remnants were found,
All the body except the head.
A prolonged search failed to find the head. Tho
murderer had backed the body to pieces with an
Axe, cutting off the head, both arms, both legs, and
cutting each leg in two at the knees. The work
Was fearfully done, and the fragments burled at
various joints in the tanbark, and well covered.
The dye from the wet bark had so discolored the
Akin that whether It was a mulatto or a white
could not be ascertained. The ghastly remains
were moored to the coroners, where an in vestige-
linn will be held tomorrow. There is no clue to
Ihe murdered man’s Identity, all clothing having
|>eeii removed, and the jolice and detectives are
Jmsy Hying tosolve the mystery.
After the corouer left, the excited crowd con
tinued searching 'for tho head, many declaring
they would hnnt all night, so as to find the head
And identify the remains. At a late hour lanterns
were flashing everywhere, and the search pro
ceeding. Around the wrist of one arm was a strong
rope, end tho bruised. lacerated condition of the
Timid hliowcd that the body had been dragged
aomo distance, while the swollen appearance of
the imidc of the hauds indicated a tierce struggle
With the assailant.
Nashville, Tenn., January 10.—[Special.]—
IThero ha* been'intense interest manifested all
Clay in the horrible mystery of yesterday's
ilnding of the seven fragment* of a human
body, hewed apart with an ax and hurled In
Masoti'b old t&nvard. The head is still missing,
1hough hundreds have sought for it and dug
every part of the lot where the other pieces
were found. Tho coroner's inquest,
Bet for last Tuesday morning, was postponed
until that night, nml again until Wed
nesday night to wait for some evidence as
to the identity of the victim. The arms were
washed and pronounced a white mail, not a
mulatto, and on tho arms were found tattoo
roaik?. which may aid in identification. On
the light arm is a group of onihlcins of secret
orders, a Masonic square and compass in the
centi r, the G. A. R. above and O. It. M. below,

interest has grown greater than ever, as the
mystery still persists in remaining a mystery.
Almost by daylight the crowds began to be-
Eiege the undertaking establishment where the
ghastly remains sre, uud all day lines of peo
ple passed in and out. Cine after cltio to the
identity of the unknown was followed out to
failure, and absolutely nothing is known now
ghat was not known when tho remains were
first found. One man, of mnch experience,
M. 8. Combs, undertaker, advocates the theory
that the remains aro those of tv cadaver
brought by some ignorant body snatcher to
the medical college, cut up for easier carrying
and rejected by tho college,, ex
cept tho head, which aloue could
be used for direction, and for which a dollar
or two was paid. This would explain the
abscuec of the head, nud also the ropo around
tbo wrist, which was Used in draggf
body from the grave. Physicians wn
geen the body disbelieve this, as the body is
ghat of a healthy, muscular man, weighing
about two hundred pounds, and the flesh doss
not ebow marks ot dfecoao. In Hell’s half acre
gho I t lief is so general that the man was mur
dered by a woman, as to indicato positive
knowledge somewhere, but the i>eople
are found together in lawlessness so
as to prevent the getting of any information.
ITbc ct-mmon version is that a woman killed
And roldicd him on the night of January 0th,
n bitti r cold night, when shrieks were heard
for half an hour near the scene of the discov
ery »f the remains. AH, however, is surmise.
The matter will be investigated further.
The coroner’s jury still having uo evidence
look a further adjournment.
A close examination at midnight leads to
tho general belief that the head has been
burned, ss marks on one of the legs, at first be
lieved to bo caused by decay, proved to have
been the result of fire. It is now believed that
ghc murderer chopped up the body with the
Idea of burning it, but alter burning the head,
nnd attempting to burn the leg, was forced to
sbaudou his purpose, and taking the leg from
the fire, buried the remaining portions, where
they wore found.

Kami ville, Tenn.. January 22.—[Special.]
Ktarly a score of missing people have been re-
ported, but have been shown not to be identi
cal with the murdered man fonnd in Hell’s
Half Acre. It was thought all day the remains
were those of a Cincinnati drummer, who myi-
iericuily disappeared from the Maxwell house,
but the drummer has turned up, and the police
«re just where they were the night the body
was found. The bead has not turned up.
Hash ville, Tenn.. January 23.—[Special.]
The re are no new developments, not even theories,
regarding the headless remains found a week ago,
end all hope has been abandoned of identification.
The head is still missing. All the mysterl
disappeared people have turned up or been 1
from. The detectives are tired aud want a rest.
The props have been knocked from nnder every
clew ana theory, and unless something turns up
tomorrow the remains will be buried aud the my
tcry left, perhaps, forever unsolved.
LYNCHING A MURDERER.
Roily Ejtjii Expiate* the Murder or Sir,
Hobson ami Assault of Mrs. Dobsou.
Vikceknfa, Ind., January 18.—Holly Epps,
the murderer of farmer Dobson, has expiated
his terrible crime at the hands of Judge
Lynch. About 12:30 this morning, a crowd of
masked men, numbering from twenty to thir
ty, carrying sledge-hammers and various
other implements, wereseen marching through
the suburbs of the city down Sixth street
towards the jail. Their masks were nothing
hut bandana handkerchief*, hut the face was
so carefully covered that identification was
impossible. They marched steadily and si
lcntly to the courthouse yard. Here they
saw two policemen. The leader of tho
gang approached those officially, and peremp
torily ordered them to gj home. The police
meu disappeared as if by magic. Stationing
masked sentinels at each corner of the jail
yard, tbe greater part of the gang entered the
yard, and walked stealthily up toward the
IKtttico of the sheriffs residence. Not a sound
could be heard save the shuffling of a score of
feet. The lynchers stood back, while the
leader knocked again and again, but received
no response. Finally, however, with louder
rapping and fiercer calling, Sheriff Seddte-
meyer was aronsed, nnd coming to the door,
called out from within
“Who’s there?”
“We want yon to open the door and let us
in. Wc are friends aud want to get in.
We want to see yon,” answered the lead
cr, in calm nnd steady tones.
“1 can’t let you in ton!
cldcdly answered the shei
“But we must get In,” said the leader. “Wo
propose to have the black carcass of the nigger
who murdered poor old Farmer Dobson, up iu
Green epunty, and if you don’t let us in wo
will get in any how.”
“You can’t come in hero,” spoke tho sheriff
determinedly, “and if you try to break in you
will violate tho luws and lay yourselves liable
to criminal prosecution.”
“Well, here goes then,” at last decided tho
lendor. “Boys, get ready.”
At these words “Umg” went a great sledge
hammer against the door. In two or threo
hits tho door was smashed to spliuters and
literally knocked off its hinges. Entering tho
hallway, tho lynching party struck n light,
rjiehcd into tho parlor, grabbed Sheriff
Hcddlcmeycr and pushed him into an acUoin-
ing room, slammed tbo door iu his face, and
puffly ordered him to keep quiet nnd stay in
liis room. The lynchors mode for tho hugo

tering them down. This was a most difficult
task, and fialf an hour elapsed before they mic-
moniouslyjcrkcu mm rrom ms bca. isppe
yelled and howled like a maniac nt tho first
sight of the strong men who hadcomo to take
his life, but a blow in tho mouth silenced him.
It was hut the work of a moment to drag him
outside, and he was soou hauglng from the
limb of a tree in tho yard, tho rope around his
neck stifling his cries as ho won hurled into
eternity, lie died iu u few minutes after being
strung up.
ViNC’KNNEH, Ind., January 10.—Tho body of

honest citizens, and as a warning to all the
transgressors of the law. A photographer ar

tbe early hours of the morning visited the
body. Men, women and children looked on
tho horrible spectacle without evincing tbe
slightest emotion or expressing a feeling of re
gret.
Epp’s crime was the killing of James Dob
son, a farmer residing near Solsfory, Orccno
county, twelve miles from Bloomfield, Ind., on
tbe night of January ll. Early in the eve

A thrilling nnd sensational telegram was
received iu Atlanta over tbe Western Union
wires early Saturday morning.
The telegram came from tho Hon. John H,
Wikle, mayor of Cartersville. It was brief but
suggestive of a horrible, bloody crime. It was
addressed to Chief Connolly, and read:
Send by fltri train two bloodhounds, aud a good
man with them, at the expense of the city of Car-
tcrsville.
THE CAUSE OF TELEGRAMS.
On Friday night about twonty-eight min
utes after ten o'clock, when uearly everybody
in Cartersville was either aaleen or courting
sleep, n most terrific and dcafeuiug explosion
occurred. The earth scernod to fairly shake,
and tbo houses in the central portion of the
town rocked to and fro on their foundations
as though an earthquake bad visited tlio place.
Window glass rattled in their fastening
while doors overcame the resistance of loci
and (lew opcu. The report waq quick, sharp
and loud. It was heard for an almost in
credible distance and awoko tunny who were
not disturbed by the shock. Almost bef*
the noise had died away half of the town w<
sitting up in bed rubbing their eyes and
trying to realize what had happened.
Soou after the report, catno

fls ifiu great distress, and quickly half tho
town was on the street.
Tho night was n bright, cloudless one, and
as men left their warm, pleasant homes, they
could see others making their way towards the
residence of tho Hon. Aaron Collins. United
States commissioner nnd member of tho town
council Following tho direction thus indi
cated, a largo crowd was soon scattered about
tho building* or rather what was loft of the
building.
And this is what they saw:
The front porch looked as though a north
eorght cyclone, in full strength, had struck
. The railing was gone while a hole in tho
>or showed its wide, gaping mouth as though
ready to swallow tiuythiug. Tho roof of tho
porch
LOOKED LIKE AN ARTILLERY BATTERY
had been pout iug shell into it for an lionr,
and the shiuglcs were scattered about liko a
whirlwind had been playing with
them and they were chaff. The
front door of tho residence was
standing wido open. Tho window shutters
wero hanging by one hinge, whilo tho w indow
glass were conspicuous only in their absence.
The wratherhoardiug was shattered and splin
tered until the front of the liouso looked liko
it had been built.out of woodon toothpicks
The picture was a distressing one. Jnsido
tho house everything was dark and ciulot.
Outside everybody was anxious ^and silent.
Evidently
SOMETHING TERRI RLE IIAD OCCURRED,
but how terrible uo ono knew. Finally a noiso
was heard in tho house, nud then in an instant
almost a bright, quick flush was sccu through
nn open window. Tho Hash grew into a blazo
and the blazo revealed to tlioso out tide tbe
form of Judgo Collins ns he marched across
the floor with n hunting match in his hand to
inly to a lamp.
On tho bed they saw Mrs. Collins, a
most estimable lady, almost in convulsions.
The plastering was all oil' tho wall, nnd to
gether with pieces of laths, wero scattered
all over tho bed nnd about the lady, whoso
roans nnd prayers touched the most obdurate
icart present.
On tho front porch near tho largo hole was
found
*T1IK BLACK TRAIL OF POWDER
it lead tip to tho hole. At tho edgo of the
hole tho trail disappeared. Then a careful
scrutiny showed a pfeco of a cap, such ns If
uerd in exploding dynamite.
Everybody present united in behoving that.
Tobo Jackson, a man afout tho town, was ro-
•oosibio for tho crime, nud after looking at
e ruins for a short timo tho crowd sought
Judgo Fain, nnd after laying tho caso before
him asked for a warrant for Tobo Jackson. Tho
warrant was issued aud tho sheriff with a posse
started to hunt Jackson.
WHY JACKSON WAS SUSPECTED.
Tofo Jackson Is naming man about twenty-
■Mum juui|i iiuu i>uu inuy a uw, uui iuc ro-
slsted him so strongly as she fought over the
lifeless form of her husband, that he gave tip
fora moment. Then, with another desperate
effort,Epps caught her by the hair,dra
from tho bed over tho dead man, am
knife in his band threatened to kill her if sho
did not submit to his passion, all tho timo hold
ing her by tbe hair. A fearful struggle fol
lowed, a handful of hair being torn from her
bead by the demon. Eppe, in trying to get
another hold, dropped his knife. This
was Mrs. Dolmon’a opportunity, and with
desperate effort she snatched the weapon and
kept him at bay. He picked up a chair and
started for her again, but the woman still re
sisted, all the timo begging him to go away, as
tbe neighbors were coming and would catch
him. Finally tho wretch thought of hia own
safety nnd left the house. He walked fifteen
miles in tho cold that night, hut a search party
followed him and he was arrested next day and
lodged in Bloomington (Ind.) jail.
When arrested Epps admitted the crime he
was charged with, but claimed he was asleep
when he committed it and did not know what
he was doing.

April ltf, 1885.
Allcock’s Porous Piasters have been used in
our family for the last three or four years witn
very fouefleial results. Previous to that time
I bad been subject to attacks of a severe paiu in
my left side. Hot cloths add liniments afford
ed temporary relief, but after a while tbe pain
always returned. In the fall of 1880, after a
very sevcib attack, l was advised by a friend
to try an Allcock’s Porous Plaster on my side
which greatly benefitted. me. After that I
tiled several kinds of plasters to see which was
tho best, and finally decided that AUcock’s
suited my case tbe best. 1 have worn them
constantly on my side ever since, and hare
never, been troubled with the pain, except
when I left them off for a few days. We alway
keep a supply in the house, and whenever a
pain seizes any of us, in any psrt of tho body
we just apply an Allcock’s Piaster, and can
most heartily recommend them.

RUNNING A BLINDTIGER.
In rartcrevillo a blind tiger is a place where
liquor can be had, notwithstanding the prohi
bition law. When this belief bccamo nrova-
in bis destruction. On tho elovonth day of
December last, G. W, Hpgwoll, who' livos
twenty-one miles from Cartersville, went into
tho city.f Bagwell *
a drink of liquor,
caught the tip, nnd then found tho liquor. He
fought two or threo bottles full, Jrad had a
good time. Afout ono o’clock In tho day ho
entered Jackson’s blind tiger for another bottlo

gave up a

thinking that it was a dollar and wont out.
Boon after leaving the no eyed tiger Bagwoll

ed his money. Jackson boldly denied Bag
well’s statement afout the twenty nnd draw
ing a pistol ordered Bagwell out. Bagwell
went out swearing he would havo revenge.
He went before Judge Collins, and
sworo out a warrant charging
Jackson with violating tho revenue law.
Whilo hiding out he made arrange
mi nts with Dr. T. II. Baker and If. J. Galt to
go on a fond for him, and then gavo hi >nsell
up. Judge Collins fixed the bond nt $80U, and
Jackson was released. His preliminary trial
was fixed for Monday last. Ou that day the
trial esme up, and Bagwell, the prosecuting
witness, was on hand. The evidence against
Jackson was conclusive, and Judge Collins re
quired him to give a bond to tbe United 8tates
court in the sum of $300. lie gave this bond,
and
AFTER THE TRIAL MET BAGWELL
on the street. When the witness and the de
fendant came together, Jackson asked:
“Bagwell, what did you swear to a lie for?”
“I did not” mid Bagwell.
“You lie, you did,” said Jackson.
“Yon are another.” replied Bagwell.
Jacktoin was always ready for a fight, drink
or frolic, and ns soon as Bagwell said “yon aro
another,” made for him. Bagwell drew a
pistol, but Was afraid to ehoot and backed
away. Name one grabbed Bagwell and tboo
Jack-on struck him

with a stick. Jackson was arrested and that
evening tried before the mayor for fifth ting,
t fined nnd paid the fine. On Tuesday
before Judge Collins that day for trial
and during the trial saw that everything was
against* him. He watched his chance and
skipped out of the courthouse before tbe case
was concluded. On Wednesday morning ho
was aecn near town, armed with a double bar
rel shotgun, and later in the day.sent a mes
sage to town asking Judge Collins to come out
to see him. The fudge did not go. That even
ing the judge was informed that he would
suffer If he didLnot let tip on Jackson.
JACKSON COMES TO TOWN,
On Friday tho marshal of tho town went
into the country. Jackson learned the fact
and afout dark made his appearance on the
Greet*. Ife bad a talk with .some friends and
later in the night patronized a shooting gal
lery where he remained until ten o’clock or a
few minutes after. The gallery is run by two
young ladies and when they closed Jackson
walked out. They went two blocks one wty
to tbe hotel and just as they reached the hotel
they heard the report. Judge Colli ms house
was nearly os far from the shooting gallory as
tho hotel to which the young ladies went.
The sheriff went to Jackson’s father's home
.smile and a half from town, hoping to find
Jackson there. This waa afoot midnight.
W he it they reached the place Jackson was
there, hut he anticipated their comiug, 1
springing out tho back door, made a bold
for freedom. Several of tho pursuing party
raw him ami a dozen shots were fired, hut
Jackson cither bore a charmed life or bis 9kiu
wr» hard euough to turn the balls and Uo es
caped. The searchers watched all night and
hunted all night.
Afout daylight, they detected Sam Jackson
as he was trying to crawl into the house and
arrested him. Mayor Wikle called a meet
ing of tbe town council and that body decided
to have the Atlanta detective and blood hounds.
Detective Simpson reached Cartersvlllo at
3.30, aud at enre glanced over tho field. Thou
with n score of men armed with shotguns, he
led hfs blood bounds to the Jackson homo.
The dogs seemed to know that something un
usual wus up. They were taken to the place
where Jackson was last seen, nnd the col
lars unbuckled. As Detective Simpson
began unstrapping the collar the dogs begai
to grow restless. They whined nud shook; the;
jumped and pranced, and when the stra
dropped from their necks they set up a terri
hie howl.
“Here,” said Detective Kiuipsou to tho dog*,
as he placed his foot on the spot where Tobo
Jackaou was last seen,
The dogs canto to him. Ho plncod his
hands on (heir heads, spoke kindly to thorn.
They put their * “
detective said:
“Go!”
In an in riant two months opened, and a ter
rible noise, more like a howl than n bark,
came forth, aud tho dogs were gono. Tho de
tective sprang into tho saddle, slapped his
stmrsto tho horse, nnd oil' lie went. The
chase was then begun.
Cartersville has never known nn cxcHcmont
equal to the prcscut. Every l*ody is anxious.
No one knows who will fo tho next victim to
tho terrible destructive agency. More than a
year ago some ono exploded a dynamite cart
ridge on a hill near tlio city. This was fol
lowed by another on the opposite aide
of tlio . town. Then another
nnd another explosion occurred,
until the good people paid no attention to
them bemuse no damage was dono. Filially,
however, tho dynamiters (flowed the top or
rather a part of tho top of a warekouso off.
Then they knocked the Bov. Bam Jones’sstahlo
into» cocked hat. Tho )tcop!e becamo con
vinced that some of tho wont dement in tho
anti prohibition crowd was doiug tho dyna-
mitq work for nn effect.
The bloodhounds have been running his
track without a rest for more than twonty-
four hours.
Unless Jackson can secure a horso or reach a
train ho will soon fo under arrest.
When Detective Bimpson unlaslicd tho dogs
about four o’clock Saturday evening, tlioy
jumped tbo trail in less than a minute uud
were oft* like a streak of lightning. Tho pur
suers rode behind the dogs until dark, ntul then
began dropping oil'oik
Detective Simpson and
A FEW MEN CONTINUED THE CHASE
until Into in tbo night, when a short rest was
indulged in. Tho horses were fed, tlio dogs
cared for comfortably, tlio men nto something,
nnd then tho chase was resumed. During tlio
dark hours tho progress was not so flno ns
during tho day. After midnight another halt
was culled, aud then about day the chase was
resumed. Before the dogs had run tho track
an hour yesterday morning they began to toll
the detective that the trail was growing freshor.
Of course, no ono but a person acquainted
with tho habits of a blood hound know what
tho dogs meant by their actions. Detective
Simpson, however, knew that
THEY WERE GAINING ON THE FUGITIVE,
nnd pusblug his tired horse un kept close upon
I ho dogs. The dogs trnvellod rapidly ovor
broken fields, fences, ravines, nml through
woods, uud kept it up until after dark last
night; at that hour The Constitution corral-

asked Detective Simpson what ho thought of

Why? Because the chances are good. W

they told me just
ah plain ar you can talk
that they were much nearer tho man than
they were last night. I’ll bet tnv head Jack-
sou knows we are after him with dogs. He
moved nearlv all night, hut rested a short
while. All during the day tho dogs ha Vo boon
telling mo that they wero gaining ground and
I think If I had threo hours more daylight I’d
rnn him in.”
“Can’t tho dogs be mistaken?”
“No, them dogs! That big ono, ’Nig,’ is tho
finest dog in tho south. J{o novor makes a
mistake. Tlio little ono might do such a thlhj
but the big one—nevor. Then old Nig won’
let her go wrong. Have not you soon tbo littlo
ono in front go off tbo track, hunt around as
if uncertain which way to go, then stop until
’Nig’ came np, a dozen times, today? Well,
that old dog never does that, and if you notic
ed he always kept right on aa If tho old lady
had not stopped. If Jackson stays on tho
ground Nig will hole him.”
“Is it possible that you are not on Jackson’s
track?”
“Oh, well, I can’t tell yon about that, Imt I
guess I am. If it was Jackson's track that was
pointed out to me wheu wo started, thou wo
are after him yet. Those dogs know the traok
they scented ou their first leap, and aro on it
yet. You can Just bet on that. They will
never leave it uutil called off, and never get
lost.”
