HUMAN SCULP
MAYJE CLEW
Louisiana Lake Being Dyna

Body of Mrs. Dennis May Be
in Water.
Atlanta.—The Joural publishes the
following today:
A piece of human scalp with the long
blond hairs of a woman on It has been
dragged by a negro fisherman from
the waters of Hay's lake, three miles
from Winnsboro, northern Louisiana.
Authorities there are dynamiting the
lake to bring the rest of the body to
the surface.
No woman has been reported miss
ing in that part of Louisiana.
The piece of scalp is believed to
have been In the w-ater about a month.
This may he the clew to the elms
mystery. Miss Beatrice Nelms, whom
her sister, Mrs. Elots Dennis, Is sup
posed to have killed and consigned to
“the animals of the waters,” about a
month ago, was a blond. Miss Nelms
has been missing a month.
Another report that may hold the
leading clew to the mystery comes
from Shreveport, La., 12 miles across
country west of Winnsboro. A wo
man said to have been recognized as
Mrs. Dennis was registered in a hote

Conductor’s Statement.
A third report, also from Shreveport,
giving a tinge of color to the preced

Shreveport last June, south to Mans
field, a town of less than 2,000 peo
ple, where they changed cars for Na
borton, a few miles east, the end of th„
line, in the lake and oil field region.
The news from Winnsboro bears di
rectly on the Nelms mystery because
those who were Inclined to believe
Mrs. Dennis did kill Beatrice have
been confronted by the fact that no
body had been found anywhere near
New Orleans. The fact that no woman
is missing In the enighborhood adds
to the connection between the two
mysteries.
