not the slightest clue to the identi-
ty of the victim or who their
murderers were.
The vicinity where the bodies
were found is infested by a des-
perate set of negroes who would
not hesitate to murder a man for
few nickels. 1t is probable that
the men were murdered for what
they possessed.
Chief Caster has Investigated
the matter but he has been unable
to find out anything material. He
has received letter from Chief of
Police Wiley Harris, Of Columbus,
Ga, asking him II the bodies had
been identified. Mr.. Harris wants
to know II there are any later de-
velopments and 1t is possible that
he believes that the men who were
found were from his city.

Later developments in the matter
Of the finding of two bodies along
the lake shore at Cypress Point,
near Ruddock Station, along the
Illinois Central road, some time
ago, ltend to deepen the mystery
and show that murder and rob-
berry have been committed.
Chief Caster was notified OF the
presence Of the bodies at Cypress
Point by Mr.. George w. Hart, OF
the Ruddock Cypress company,
Mr.. Hart in his letter stated that
a skiff named SELMA" was found
near where the corpses were dis.
covered, and he believed at that
time that the men had been caught
in the lake in a squall and theil
craft upset and they were drowned
The remains were blown ashore
and were partly concealed under
the sand when discovered.
The bodies were buried and theil
description as far as obtainable
sent to Chief Caster. Yesterday
Chief Caster was in receipt of an.
other communication from Mr.
Hart. The latter wrote that the
bodies had been buried and that 1t
was impossible to identify one OF
them owing to the fact that the
head had been cut from it and the
pockets cut out and rified. This
proves conclusively that murder
