Mystery Shrouds Finding
Of Human Skeleton on the
Site For New Postoffice
In Excavating for New Government Building on Barrett
Plaza Yesterday Afternoon Startling Find was Made. Dif
ference of Opinion as to What the History is
While excavating yesterday after
noon on Barrett Plaza preparatory to
laying the foundation for the new Au
gusta postofftce. Foreman Jack Mtir
phey of the Augucta list) \ Transfer
t’ontpany'a teams, which are hauling
the dirt away, noticed that one of the
negroes, as he came down with hi*
pick to the damp earth some four or
five feet below the level of the side
walk. atruck and broke what looked
to be a human skull. Further inves
tigation revealed the fart that it was
what it was thought to be. In addi
tion to a complete skull, including
lower Jaw bone with the teeth In
splendid slate of preservation, one of
the leg bone*, the backbone and ribs
were discovered, also.
Bones Found in Lime.
Had tt been this alone to tell of, the
find would have been nothing much
out of the ordinary—nothing deserv
ing of more than passing notice, for
on several occasions before similar
finds have been made when contrac
tors have been excavating on the
sites of buildings. But the human
bones were not all; there was lime
from where the bones were dug, and
it is herein the mystery Ilea.
No one know s and no one even ven
tures to assert what might be the his
tory of the skeleton dug up yester
da> Was it once the grave of a ntur
deiod man? Some persona say that
thla theory Is entirely feasible. In
view of the facl that the lime was
there It ts generally known that
murderers ha\e hurled their victims
in lime in osier that th# flesh may be
quickly consumed Then It t* cer
tainly possible that these are the
bone* of someone who was murdered
and forgotten about year* and years
ago. Who can tell?
Anothar Theory.
Another theory advanced is that the
skeleton ts that of an Indian, for with
the bones was also discovered a sti
ver coin, which was smuggled away
hy one of the negro workmen before
it could be seen. There were no other
mark*, however, that th# hone# were
those of a Red Man.
Ijutt. the theory Is given that the
skeleton la that of one who tn the

lontrol shortly after General .Ogle
thorpe settled the town —was executed
In accordance with England's rule.
Such executions did occur here, it is
said, and the bodies were buried here.
Whatever may be the history of the
skeleton is as yet only a matter of
conjecture, latter developments, how

subject.
