THAT HEADLESs BODY.
Now Thought to Have Been Edward

AImy of Macon.
McRae, Ga, March 12.-The headless
trunk of man was found IN the Ocmulgee
river on the lower point of Oaky Bluff
near here, where it had drifted during the
recent high water.
There is little doubt that the man was
murdered, as the head was apparently
severed from the body with an ak, and
there are wounds i'm the chest and abdo-
men, which were inflicted with an AK. The
body has apparently been in the water
for about two months and there is nothing
about it which gives a clue to the identity.
