Fodrea, the suspect arrested on Sunday
morning on belief of his connection with
the murder of John +. Seay, at the Model
mill on Saturday night, has waived pre-
liminary examination and was bound over
to await the action of the grand jury that
meets in January. Detectives and officials
have been hard at work on the case, but
have found but little new evidence against
Fodrea. All the evidence against him is
circumstantial. To-day a double-barreled
shotgun was found just east of this city in
brush pile by some boys who were hunt
ing. 1t is new gun with evidence of
having one load discharged from it. a gun
wad found at the mill where the murder
was committed exactly fits this gun. Eff
forts will be made to find out if Fodrea
bought the gun, and, if so, where. Fodrea,
ii is claimed by some, is not responsible
for his acts, as he is of a morose DISPOSE
tion and has shown signs of a weak and
unbalanced mind in his past life. The body
of Seay was taken to Richmond, Va, his
former home, for burial.
