HIM 10 DIG IIP HER
COFFIN.YDUTHSJYS
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 7.—One of
the wierdest tales of arrest and its
preliminaries was disclosed today’
following arrest of E. P. Domi
: ny, of Dublin, Ga., who was kid-
J naped early yesterday morning in
I front of his father’s home near
I Dublin, and carried to Orlando by
I three men, who forced him to ac
company them to the cemetery,
where, in the presence of nearly
twenty-five men, he was compelled
to dig up the coffin of his wife, who
was buried here on Wednesday.
Whi|e excitement was running’
high in Dublin, Ga., over the ap
parent kidnaping, police excitement
was created here upon the discovery
that the kidnaped man was one for
whom a warrant was sworn out
more than a year ago on a charge
of non-support of his wife, daugh
ter or R. C. Livingston, of this city.
On Monday morning, Mrs. Dominy,
aged 19, died in this city, leaving a
five weeks’ old baby in the care of
her father. With the expiration of
the warrant charging non-support
of his wife, a second warrant was
sworn out the same day by the
! child's grandfather, R. C. Living-
■ ston, charging E. P. Dominy, of
j Dublin, Ga., with non-support of his
; child. It was on this warrant that
; the arrest was made, shortly after
I midnight.
i The story told of the kidnaping
| and arrest is as follows;
Early yesterday morning, E. P.
Dominy, son of a wealthy farmer of
Dublin, was asked to step down the
road and help three men fix their
car, which was disabled. When he
reached the car, the young man step
ped in to try the starter. A tussle
ensued and Dominy was overpow-
I ered.
| Nearby persons saw the car start
| off. Dominy was forced into the
i back seat, hit on the head with a
i revolver, and tied. When passing
through any town on the way, ac
cording to the deputy sheriff, who
talked with Dominy last night, the
kidnapped man was forced to lie
i prone at the bottom of the car.
When the three men, whom Domi
ny did not recognize, reached Or
lando, they took him to the ceme
tery. Mrs. Livingston Dominy was
buried Wednesday in Greenwood
cemetery. At the grave, Dominy
was surrounded, according to those
who went bond for him later, by
i between 15 and 25 men. He was
forced to dig to the coffin, and then
j when it was raised, made to open it
I and look upon the face of his dead
wife, and then was attacked by the
group of men and severely beaten.
When he was released by the men,
he was noticed on the street by one
! of the plainclothes force, in a bloody
i condition, and taken to the police
| station on suspicion. There it was
leayned that a warrant had been tak
en out in the county for arrest and
he was held until morning in the
city jail.
Shortly before 10 o'clock this
morning - he was turned over to the
county jail and in less than half an
hour, taken out on SSOO bond. Some
, time ago, Dominy worked in Orlan
l do, where he met and married R. C.
, Livingston’s daughter while he was
■ employed at a local fruit company.
| Dominy will be brought up at the
! next session of the criminal court
for trial on November 24.
AGED FATHER DESCRIBES
KIDNAPING OF DOMINY
DUBLIN, Ga., Nov. 7.—E. P.
I Dominy, 21, son of A. J.
j prominent Laurens county farmer,
i who was believed kidnaped early’
| yesterday morning, is being held in
' the city jail at. Orlando, Fla., on or
j der of the sheriff there, according
I to Sheriff L. F. Watson, of Laurens
■ county. The Georgia sheriff today
i received a telegram front the chief
I of police of Orlando to that effect.
I The telegram from the Orlando
police chief cante after word had
! been sent to Waycross, Valdosta
l and Orlando to watch for a large
touring car with three young men
headed for Florida from Georgia.
The text of the message was:
“L. F. Watson,- Sheriff Laurens
County, Ga.:
“E. P. Dominy held in jail here
order sheriff and tens mysterious
story.
(’ Signed) CHIEF OF POLICE.
Orlando, Fla.”
Young Dominy. according to the
story told Sheriff Watson and Sher
iff Player, of Wilkinson county, by
the elder Dominy, went to the as
sistance of two men in an automo
bile which had apparently broken
down near the Dominy' home. The
automobile was seen suddenly to
start rapidly in the direction of
Hawkinsville, and E. P. Dominy was
I in the car.
I The father says while he is not
'certain that his son did not go of
I his own volition, he is of the opinion
■ that he was forcibly carried away.
Warrant Charges Kidnaping
A warrant has been issued for a
: man named “Williams, alias John
| Doe," A. J. Dominy having been told
[by one of the men in the car that his
' name was Williams. The warrant
[charges kidnaping.
■ Ihe father says he was not near
'when the automobile suddenly sped
jaway carrying his son.
| According to A. J. Dominy, early
[Thursday morning he noticed the au
[tomobile stop near his home and the
i men begin tinkering with the engine.
Shortly’ he offered assistance, and
[finding he could not help, he volun
teered the information that his son,
[E. P. Dominy, was somewhat of a
[mechanic and 'he woulj be glad to
[summon him. The men. says the
I elder Dominy. thanked him and he
I then wakened his son. who dressed
[and went to the aid of the stranded
l motorists.
E. P. Dominy had only returned
Ito Dublin a few weeks ago ‘ from
Orlando, where he had been living
, several months. He had married in
I Orlando, and after difficulties with
i bis wife, the couple had become
estranged, and had. according to the
young man's father, separated. E.
P. Dominy returned to Dublin short
ly after the estrangement, and his
i wife remained in Orlando. The
young man ha/ been living since
I with his father at the Dominv home
I sixteen miles from Dublin.
In the opinion of the Sheriffs
’ Watson and Player, the men who
are believed to have kidnaped young
| Dominy were sent here for that pur
i pose from Florida and the break
| down of the automobile was only
on lark and have not been seen .
since.

LATEST MENTAL PRODIGY
IS JOHN HANCOCK, AGED 10,
SON OF ATLANTA PHYSICIAN
Passed Four Grades in Two
Years —Is Expected to
Finish Four More This Fall
at Peacock School
Another mental prodigy has been
found in Atlanta. He is John Over
ton Hancock, ten-year-old son of Dr.
and Mrs. Thomas H. Hancock, of
ISOO Peachtree road.
Young Hancock was “found" by
Prof. Wesley Peacock, head of the
Peacock School for Boys, who is
interested in Atlanta’s prodigy class,
of which Arthur Gottesman, ten
year-old freshman at Oglethorpe;
Isador Kuniansky, 11 years old, and
young Hancock are members.
In tests conducted by Prof. Pea
cock, Gottesman scored 184; Kunian
sky scored 167, and Hancock, young
est of the trio. 154.
John entered school at Washing
ton seminary, and in his first two
years passed four grades. At the
Peacock school this fall, in his third
year of schooling, he is expected to
complete the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades.
When newspapermen sought him
out Thursday afternoon. John was
nowhere to be found, and his dis
covery came after a 30-minute tramp
through the woods near his father's
residence on Peachtree road. Con
trary to what might have been ex
pected, he was not found buried in
a book in the corner of a dimly
lighted room.
John is a true lover of nature and
outdoor life, and says his favorite,
pastimes are football, skating and
wandering in the woods. At night
and on rainy days he reads.
Among the books for which he
has a fond attachment are “Robin
Hood,” “Arabian Nights,” “King
Arthur,” “Poe’s Tales,” Kipling and
the "Children's Hour,” a collection
of ten volumes. His favorite stories
are the adventures of heroes of
mythology. He says that his most
pleasant hours, when he was be
tween the age of three and five,
were spent in listening to his mother
read to him from “Dante’s Inferno.’’
His parents say that five years
was the age when they first sus
picioned that John was mentally
advanced, for he began asking ques
tions then, and among the earliest
was a request for an explanation
of the law of gravity.
“In his play and love of games
he is a normal ten-year-old boy, but’
when taken aside and questioned
about any serious matter his an
swer is surprisingly matured,” said
his mother.
When asked what he wanted to]
be when he grew up, he was promptj
in his answer: “I want to be a doc-1
I tor, like my father.” Dr. Hancock is
I a well-known Atlanta physician and]
I has been connected with the At ]
| lanta hospital for a number of years. I
[ In answer to a question as to!
when he studied, John answered: “I
never study at all. Mathematics is
rny easiest subject and I always do
my home work at school.”
According to his parents, John
first became conscious of his ad
vanced intelligence when he entered
Peacock school this fall. He im
mediately told his mother. “I don’t
fit. The boys in my classes are all
older than I am.”
John has well defined features, a
pleasant face, unruly light brown
hair and blue-grey eyes. He is of
i normal height and weight and of
I an active and energetic nature.
I ’ He was born at 66 West North
I avenue, and always has lived in At-
I lanta. Dr. Hancock is originally of
1 Virginia and Mrs. Hancock is a na
tive of Alabama.
John Hancock is six months
younger than Arthur (gottesman.
Brown Tells Farmers
To Diversify Crops
SPARTA, Ga., Nov. B.—J. J.
Brown, commissioner of agriculture,
spoke to a large assemblage, of farm
ers at the Hancock county fair
grounds yesterday. He urged the
farmers to use diversified crop meth
ods next year and start an early
campaign against the extermination
of the boll weevil.
part of a prearranged plan. The
two sheriffs state that no matter
their mission or authority, the men
who took the Dublin youth away
will be prosecuted if it is found that
Dominy went against his will. The
father stated that he knew of no
possible reason for such methods in
getting his son back to Orlando un
less it were in connection with the
estrangement of the couple.
The sheriff and police chief of Or
lando have both been requested to
.urmsh the Georgia authorities with
all available information as to the
ease.

Gland Extracts
Make Hens Lay
Scientists have discovered that hens are
i just like buman beings—they need gland
extracts. And they also need vitamines.
: After years of research, one of America’s
greatest chemists has compounded a mar
velous vitamine and gland extract tablet.
The ingredients work directly on the hen's
ovaries and the result is eggs, eggs and
still more eggs.
Just crush a few of these vitamine tab
j lets in the drinking water. Then watch
the action! Government station reports
. that hens fed vitamines laid 300 eggs.
The ordinary hen lays oniv GO. Think
of it!

T A 7 HEN Congress adjourned last June
V V thi 3 l ar f» e number of proposed laws
’ affecting the railroads was receiving
the attention of members of the House ana
Senate. Fortunately for the American,
tnMgl people, for you who are reading this Dews- RMmt
paper, none of the bills was passed, but
many of them are now on the calendar
« fl nd will be considered without further preliminary
' action when Congress convenes on December Ist.
Congress generally wishes to do right, but certain
interests are now proposing railroad legislation,
nL aWI which, if enacted, would not only impair the railroad
xk pWj service but would be seriously hurtful to the general
p business interests of
\ The railroads should have further trial under the
existing laws. They prolonged respite from
legislative agitation, during which the railroad man
agers and other forces can devote themselves to
plain transportation and the people can enjoy the
nigh-class railway service and prosperity which they
now have without risks from experimental tinkering.
Railroad managers feel that it is their duty to ac
quaint the public with the facts about the railroads,
and in that way, through the building up of a sound
public sentiment, hold up the hands of fair-minded
Congressmen and Senators, who are Mulling that the
railroads shall have their fighting chance at this time
of crisis in their affairs; that they shall have an oppor
tunity to work out their salvation under the provi
sions of the laws now on our statute books, and
that their operations shall not be further hampered
Ct- j through obstructive legislation.
