Mrs Oscar Slack, of North East, has re-
Pa, in which the fear is expressed that the
victims Of a double murder recently com
mitted in Atlanta Georgia, are Miss Ruth
Slack and Mrs. Allen, sisters of Mr.. Slack, Of
North East
The letter tells Of double murder which
occurred in Atlanta, in which Mrs. Allen and
Miss Ruth Slack. were murdered by a man
named Edward Flanagan.
The murder happened a month or so ago,
but this was the first information Mr.. and
Mrs. Slack had.
The letter expresses fear that the murdered
women are the sisters of Mr. Slack. The Mrs.
Allen, one of the murdered women, if it is as
supposed was the wife Of $. NJ. Allen, for a
number of years Il resident Of North East.
and who was proprietor of n jewelry estab-
lishment in that town. and Miss Ruth Slack
was the sister Of Mrs. Allen, with whom she
always resided. More than six years ago
Allen failed, and with his family removed to
Pennsylvania, wherc until two years they
lived, but from that time to this Mr.. Slack
has been in tho dark as to their residence.
Allen was from the south and it is possible
that he with his family. returned to- his ma
tive home after leaving Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Slack is getting old, and being Il sold
Ter of the late war was unfortunate enough to
have his leg shot off. and he is in no position
TO visit Atlanta and investigate the matter,
but Dr. Housekecper has taken the matter in
hand and communicated with the police of
that city. Mr.. Slack and also the residents,
believe that the murdered women are the
same as resided in North East only little
over six years ago.
