BY Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
Gainesville, Ga, Oct. list. Clair
Grover and his brother, a deaf mute,
have been arrested and jailed charg-

mother. Glover has confessed and
assumes all the responsibility. The
old lady was wealthy and cut Glover
off in her will. She was found dead
in bed with a bottle of chloroform by
her side. This was placed there to
create the impression of suicide but
bruises on her face and throat indi-
Gated that she was choked to death.
