A Horrible Crinie.
The body of William Brauda, a
quiet, inoffensive man living near
Screven, was found buried in a
gopher hole last Sunday. He had
been missing since last Thursday,
and the people of that, section had
organized a searching party to look
for him. Their attention was cal¬
led to the gopher hole ty a swarm
of flies hovering near.
It is thought that he was killed
with an axe and then dragged
•o the place where he was found
buried. The murderer did not com¬
plete his work and left an opening
which attracted a swarm of flies to
the spot and was the cause of the
body being found. Bennett Davis
who lived nearby and who disap¬
peared the same night has been
suspeete.l of committing the crime.
The officers were at a loss as to
a motive for the crime at first, but
have since gathered evidence which
tends to prove| that Brauda dis¬
covered Davis in the commision of
a heinous crroe, and Davis to con¬
ceal it, committed another by mur¬
dering him.
Up to date no trace of Davis has
been found, but the officers have
taken every precaution to prevent
his escape from the country.
Since the above was written, evi
denee has developed which led to
to the arrest of the wife and daugh
ttr of Bennett Davis. They were
given a hearing at once before
Justice Harris, and both made affi¬
davits that a criminal intimucy ex¬
isted between Davis and his daugh¬
ter, which being discovered by
Brauda, led to his being murdered
by Davis. Both wife and daughter
deny having had any hand in the
murder. Sheriff Lyens and his
deputy have been working up the
case with great fkill and hope soon
to have the murderer behind the
bars.

it will beat the Mulberry correspondent's

people had to use a wushpot, turned liot

them from pelting their hair out, and then
they got so imd that they would stick
