FROZEN TO DEATH.
Or Were the Two Old People, Brother and
Sister. Murdered?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. January 20.-A spe-
cial TO the Age Herald from Athens. Ala,
says that the community was Mortified to-
day by the discovery of two old people in
their little home in the suburbs frozen TO
death. They were Mrs. Martha Davis and
her brother. w. II. Danforth. Mrs. Davis
was sitting In chair before an empty fire
place stiff and stark. The brother
was in a bed In an adjoining room.
The body OF Mrs. DAVIS was burned
about the chest, and parts of her
clothing we're found out of doors under
the snow. showing the occurrence Of some
sort of tragedy before the recent snow
storm. II seems that the old lady's
clothing caught fire and that she succeed
ed in controlling the flames, but not until
she was so badly injured as to become
helpless. Her brother was bed-ridden and
could not assist her. 1t is not certain but
that murder has been committed, and
the coroner will investigate.
