Griffin, Ga, November 16.-(Special y
IT late hour tonight news came from
murder of Mr. l. j. Baird.
lie was found with two bullet holes in
his head and one through his heart There
was no one around to tell the story Of the
tragedy.
Mr. j. f. Hathaway, who could not be-
found, IS regarded as the perpetrator of
the deed. Search is being made for him
by the officers. Hathaway has a wooden
leg which will stand i'll the way of his es-
cape
Three Questions Asked.
Did Joe Hathaway kill Lewis Baird in a
crazy lit aud then cash his clothing face,
throat and hands with his own knife for
effect that night?
" md he kill Beard in fit of tenn
porary insanity and then attempt suicide
and back out through fright at the gasping
figure lying in death agonies before him?
Or did Hathaway kill Baird in self
defense, as he claims he did?
These three questions are eagerly asked
here today, and there is plenty Of evidence
to support either OF the three, with many to
believe any or all of them.
The evidence of some of the witnesses
strongly supports the idea that Hathaway
was temporarily crazed by the loss of his
wife, and that he has not been responsible
for some eekS for his acts.
This fact was sworn to by DR.. T. M
Kelly, Hathaway's physician. before the
cOrOnerS Jury today, and was corrOb0rated
by Alr. II. G. Burr, who went upon him
yesterday afternoon when he was in the
act of blowing his brains out, and who said
Hathaway was in so much trouble and felt
SO lonely that he was tempted to end his
existence at mat time.
Then his wild and excited utterances last
night added to his intoxicated condition,
give color to the belief of some that the
killing was done while in a fit of insan-
ity.
But whatever the condition or circum-
stances, the affair is doubly sad owing to
the grief of young Hathaway for his wife
recently lost. and the home his three leaden
missiles made desOlate last night in ending
the life of Lewis J. Baird.
No Nearer solution.
