of evidence and undoing the many

day has brought forth no new devel-

MIE MAYOR SAYS
HILL KILLED
Him
McRAE, Ga. —In a statement nearly
a thousand words long, the Mayor of
this village declares Saturday, that
Pope S. Hill, the Macon attorney
found dead in an office here last Mon
day, was not murdered but committed
suicide. He reviews the case detail
by detail and points out the weak
nesses of the murder theory.
The fact that the governor with
drew the reward he had offered for
the murderers after a conference with
Hill’s law partners, is also adduced
by these who believe in the suicide
theory.

Distance.
Hal Chase is doing well at the de
tention camp. He is broken out mod
erately, according to Dr. Morgan’s
gradation of the attack, although to
the lav observer his decorations are
quite fancy. He has not been con

time every day. He perambulates
about the hospital and grounds like
a well man, to all appearances, and
at the sound of a base-hit on the com
mons he is all attention.
Mrs. Chase saw him for quite a
little while Saturday morning, and
passed again during the afternoon, to
greet her husband. They are requir
ed to keep 30 yards apart. Any clos
er than that might endanger Mrs.
Chase’s health. A "dead line" is
strictly adhered to, and no visitor is
allowed to cross this mark. It ex
