HERE'S ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Woman's Body, Hacked 10 Pieces. Buried in a
Barrel. Found at Quitman. Ga.

Atlanta. Ca. July 12.-Specials to the
Journal from Quitman, Brooks county.
confirm the reported finding there of
a woman's body hacked to pieces and
packed in a barrel, which had been
buried in swamp. The discovery
was made by a farmer named Jacob
Wootcn, on Mule creek.
The body was tumbled into barrel
and dirt packed around it, but it was
still in a remarkable state of preserva-
ton, the flesh retaining almost it's
natural coloring. The top of the bar
rel was decayed, and pine roots had
worked through it's side. This would
seem to indicate that the body had
been there for some time.
No one has been missed from the
community recently, and it is the gen.
eral opinion that the body was either
buried there several years ago. or else
was brought there from distance.
1t is said that several years ago, there
lived near the place man who had a
wife whose hair was the color of the
hair possessed by this corps. The
woman left and has never been seen
since. Shortly after her disappearance
he left for Florida with another
woman
