himself and Frank Bailey.
Mr.. Lott naturally first inquired
about the women. Neither of the
young men could describe them.
Neither could tell, or would tell,
where they came from, their names or
where they went. The only state
ment brought forth from the men was
that they were ''fast girls"
All day yesterday Mr.. Lott. assisted
by Manager John Smith of the Acme,
and taking Jones and Bailey with
him, searched for the women. They
toured the suburbs, but the young men
failed OF refused to identity any of the
women seen. Search was also made
for the body of the missing man, but it
was not found. Nothing having been
learned, Jones and Frank Bailey left
for Waycross last night. Mr.. Lott
seemed to think that he could find out
nothing but decided to remain in the
city until this morning.
STRANGE FACTS.
The newspaper men took hold of the
case last night and learned some
strange facts in connection with the
supposed drowning.
Manager Smith of the Acme states
that Jones and Frank Bailey drove up
to the hotel Sunday night at II o'clock
The big mastifr was in the hack.
Jones was hatless and apparently ex-
cited. Jones asked Mr.. Smith :"Have
you seen Charlie Bailey ?" Mr.. Smith
replied that he had not. The two
men then said that they wanted to go
to bed, Jones stating that he had lost
his hat. They did not mention to MIR.
Smith, although Jones knew him in
timately, anything about the drown
ing of the man for whom they in
quired. They were shown room and
retired.
This was the first seen Of these two
men since the morning, when they
were with Bailey. When asked, the
next morning, about sending the tele-
gram to Mr.. Lott, they said they had
driven to the Western Union office,
found it closed and proceeded to the
night operators Office at the Union
depot and had him to forward the tel
egram. They had mentioned none of
this to MIR. Smith the night before.
HACKMAN IN THE CASE.
M, Smith says the backman who
drove the two men to the hotel on Sun
day night was one of Morris & Lees,
short, black fellow. Morris & Lee
have one such fellow in their employ,
Charlie Robinson, who goes on the
might stands" Mr.. Smith found Rob-
inson in front of the Arcade saloon
yesterday afternoon, and asked where
he picked up the two men the night
befole, 81 didn't have no two men,"
said the driver; "I didn't drive a
hack last night" Later, Robinson ad-
mitted to a guest at the Acme that he
picked up the two men and a dog
in front of the Oglethorpe Hotel and
took them to the Acme. "The men
were in a big hurry" he said.
WHAT THEY TOLD HENLEY.
Night Operator Henley at the union
depot was seen last night by TIMES
man. Mr.. Henley said the two men
came to him at 10 o'clock Sunday
night with the big dog, the hack and
the short negro hackman. They sent
the telegram quoted above. he sked
them questions. The story they told
him plunges them further into net
of contradictions. They said they
had "just got I'M" that Bailey and two
women were in one boat, and them
selves alone in the other; that they
saw Bailey fall overheard and go down
''like a shot," that he "didn't rise
again" The hackman told Mr.. Hen
ley that he picked the men up at the
Oglethorpe hotel.
THE BIGGEST FIND.
The most important discovery of all
was made late last night by Manager
Smith and newspaper man. In
room of the Acme the coat which
