for his son, in a sack with a peck of po-
tatoes and proceed along the road near the
United States federal Hrisolt, several miles
from this city, he would be met by negro,
who would ask, "Massa, has you got dem
potaters.
He was to deliver the sack and it's con-
tents to the negro, and his son would ap-
pear at a hotel in this city looking for his
father at an early hour Sunday morning.
The letter was signed s"Packard,' mailed
in Atlanta, dated January 16, and the In
structions were minute and specific.
Threats of. exposure and failure to carry
out the instructions were frequently made
in it. Mr.. -Fraser's son. brother OF the
kidnapped boy. carried out the plan of the
letter, met the negro as. arranged, and
gave him the money and potatoes Satur-
day night. =
This morning early he was at the hotel
mentioned, and has remained there all
day, but Bass Fraser has not appeared,
and no trace of him or the persons VINO

Believed to he That of Edyvard
Duffy.

The dead body of a man, whose name Is
supposed to have been Edward Duffy, was
found near Florida avenue and the Brent
wood road about o'clock this morning.
Mr. T G. Thompson of 1919 Sd street north
west discovered the body and notified the
police and it was removed to the morgue
Coroner hewitt viewed the remains there
later in the day. The coroner was OF the
opinion that alcoholism caused the man
death. but a certificate has not yet been
given.
Mr. Thompson was on his way TO work
at the time he made the discovery. The
position of the body indicated that the man
had rolled down the emhankmen, and, be-
ing too weak to help himself, was unable
to get up even turn and put nllnsen III
a comfortable position. His head was some
distance below his feet There was nothins
in the pockets of the dead mans clothing
to indicate his identity. A copy OF the bull
letin issued by the Central Union Mission
and a small flask containing about gin OF
wood alcohol were found IN MS coat
pocket In another pocket there were two
combs.
The body is that Of a man apparently
about forty years old, with red mustache
and light hair. His trousers were made OF
light material and he wore dark coat and
brown derby hat. His shirt was apparently
a new one of blue plaid goods
Some time after the body was removed
to the morgue Superintendent Beute OF the
Central Union Mission identified 1t as that
of Edward Duffy. The man, he said, had
stopped at the mission several nights. He
was under the impression that Duffy had
lived in this city for several years, and
during recent weeks, he said, he had been
drinking quite heavily. At the mission the
addresses of the guests are not recorded
and the police have not yet found anybody
who could give anything more definite than
what was stated by Superin tendent Beute.

The Tax ON Legacies.

Commissioner Yerkes Of the internal rev.
enue bureau has held that legacy to a
partnership Is considered a legacy to each
partner that comprises the firm. The firm
is not to be considered an entirety. The
law provides that the legacies Of $4,000 or
less are not taxable, hence legacy OF $751;
600 to a firm composed Of two or more per-
sons would make each partners share So
GOO or less, which would exempt all from
the tax. The commissioner also has held
