Reethy York, a l6-year-old girl, was
found in a distllery in north Georgia
few days ago by revenue officers While
she appeared to be very familiar with the
operation of the plant, the girl was not
engaged in running 1t, and consequently
no case was made against her John Ar
endale. a mulatto boy, was operating the
distilery when the raid was made ana
he was taken into custody. The tale loId
by the boy IS a very interesting eNplana-
ton of the case. John claims that the
father of the girl left her to operate the
distillery that day. The negro was pass
ing by the place and consented to run OH
a few gallons Of whisky while the young
lady rested. At Atlanta, Monday, the

The skeleton Of a man has been found
in a suburb of Atlanta known as West
End. Some portions Of the body are not
yet fully decomposed indicating that the
murder was committed not so many
months ago. There are several Times
which indicate that the man was murder
ed, and that the victim was a white man
of means. on the ground near the skeIe-
ton was a piece of a gold chain, a very
small silver ring and a dainty little gold
locket, which IL is supposed was in the
mans pocket. and not discovered by the
party who committed the murder. If it
was one for the purpose of robbery The
remains are believed to be those of the
man who acted as the accompice of VIII
Myers in the murder of Forrest Crowley.
Myers grandmother lives not far from
the place, and the murder Of Forrest
Crowley was committed but a short dis
lance away. One thing which gives
shade Of truth TO the superstition that the
skeleton is the famous Brown Allen"
is the fact that beyond doubt Myers had
an accomplce and that whoever this
party was no trace of him was ever OBJ
tained. VIII Myers swore to his last day
that he had an accomphce, but never for
moment offered any solution for his
mysterious disappearance, and 1t is more
than probable that after the murder Of
Forrest Crowley this colleague was led
near this swamp and killed for his share
of the spoils and for the additional pur-
pose of covering up the tracks of the man
who had conceived the whole plan of rob-
berry.
