Two Brutal Murder Charged to Engineer
Halves Sought to BE Avenged.
BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 1O.-Last Tuesday
the body of 4 little girl was found in
East lake, neal this city. The fact was
established that she had been murdered.
and Wednesday the body was identified
as that of May Halves, the daughter of
r. r. Halves, a railroad engineer. Cir
cumstances pointed to the girls father
as her murderer. He was married in
Columbus, Miss. Wednesday evening
though supposed to have a wife here.
On his arrival here with his bride
that night he was arrested, chrrged
with murder. Then it was learned
that he had never been divorced
from his first wife and that she
had been missing since last Satur-
day as well as a younger child. Search
for the woman's body commenced at
once. and soon additional circumstantial
evidence against Halves was secured.
Saturday evening the body of his wife
was found at the bottom of the lake
weighted down with iron. This caused
intense excitement throughout the city,
and that night fifty or more officers We're
placed around the Jail armed with Win
chester rifles. anticipating a possible at
tempt to lynch Halves. About il o'clock
Saturday night about 1000 or 5000 men
gathered in the vicinity of the Jail max
ing threats. They were without organi-
cation or leaders. and after much parlcy-
ing with the mayor and others who tried
to get them to go away the
crowds finally reached the end of a
narrow allcyway leading to the Jail
doors. Then the officers warned them
to stand back or they would be fired on.
After repeated warnings they would not
the officers to fire. One vollcy was fired
and twenty-threc men fell killed OF
wounded. Three men We're instantly
killed, seven have since died, and ten
others are badly wounded. The mol
then hurriedly escaped, vowing vcnse-
