The smyrna Homicide Turned over to
the Attorney General.
The adjourned meeting of the Coroners
jury on Thursday evening after holding
to late hour could arrive at no definite
conclusion in regard to the murderers of
the tramp referred to in our last issue be-
cause of lack of evidence.
There was absolutely no clue as
TO who did the deed or what
day it was committed. There is confic t.
ing testimony as to when the man was
first found. The statement that he was
seen under the cherry tree on Saturday
is rendered valueless by the statement of
Mr. Crow who has possession of the field
and says he was near that cherry tree on
the Saturday afternoon in question and
saw nothing like a dead man. The claim
that the man who was chased from the
bar-room in town crying for money
pack of hoodlums was a
young man, should have been substan-
tiated by those engaged in it for their
own good, for the man had been en-
ployed somewhere in the neighborhood,
but it was not, and there is still cloud
resting over the affair. One man who
was member of the jury and followed
the thing up from the first to the last,
tells us he is not satisfied that the man
found dead was not the victim of the
Saturday night brutality. The jury
placed the matter in the hands of the
Attorney General Smyrna Times.
