HEARD HIS FATHER WAS DEAD.
Fireman whitaker Met Him Coming
to Town to Deny the Report.

A report was freely circulated early
yesterday afternoon that J. v. Whitaker
of No. 1873. Barnard street had been MUIR
dered during the morning ON the Ogeechee
road. several miles from the city. Mr..
Whitaker has a place about twelve miles
from the city, and was expected at his
home early in the morning to attend a
picnic. At noon he had appeared, and a
short while later when the report reached
his house, it was fully credited by the
members of his family.
Hundreds of telephone. messages were re-
ceived at police headquarters. and at the
residence of Coroner Keller, but the re-
port could not be verified. Fireman ID.
V. Whitaker at the Barnard street sta
ton is a son of the man who was re-
ported as having been murdered, and he
was greatly disturbed. He secured a
leave of absence from his foreman, and
left for his fathers place without having
taken off his uniform. The fireman was
on bicycle and attracted great deal
of attention by the rapid pace in which
he rode through the streets.
At the six mile post the fireman was
both surprised and pleased to see his ia
Their driving on his way to the city. The
elder Whitaker had heard of the report
of his death only a few minutes before.
and was not startled by the sight of his
almost GREATNESS son. The fireman had
made the trip in less than As minutes, and
was completely tagged out. He placed his
wheel on the wagon and rode In the seat
with his father during the greater part
of the return trip.
Mr.. Whitaker. Jr. could in no manner
account for the report and was surprised
when some one from the city had told
him the news just before meeting his
son. He explained his delay by, saying
that a wagon load Of wood had been
stolen from him and that he had TO refill
the cart before beginning the trip. A
large crowd was around the residence on
Barnard street, and the report was cur
rent at that time that the remains had
been brought to the city. When this was
reported at police headquarters Superin-
tendent Reilly sent Detectives Murphy
and Wall to the house. The officers ar
rived a moment after the man who was
supposed to have been slain, puL IN an
appearance.
