His Brother Has Man Found ia Creek Three Months
 Ago Disintened
HEAD BROUGHT ID THE
 CITY FOR IDENTIFICATION
8axIey Came to Birmingham On March 9th With S100O and Has Never Been Seen slnce-Detect-
 ives at Work.

A badly decomposed body, found in a creek near Blocton on April 25 may lead to the discovery of what became of c. P. Baxley. the Talladega county merchant who disappeared mysteriously from Bir- mingham on March Il. leaving no trace.
 The brother of the missing man re- turned to Birmingham Tuesday night from Blocton, where he had just dug up and examined the body of the man found in the creek nearly three months ago. He brought with him the skull of the man and hopes by that to be able to identify the remains. His brothers skull was of peculiar formation, being this one be of the same formation 1t will be taken as practical proof that the re- mains found in the creek are those of W. P. Baxley. The head was taken to Baxley's home yesterday in hopes that some one there may identify it.
 All other portions of the body was so badly decomposed that they were im practicable for use in Identification. In the base of the skull at the back of the head are three bullet holes. There was also a bullet wound in his breast. Both feet were cut off.
 Teeth Knocked Out.
 All of the teeth had been knocked out. It is supposed this was done to prevent identification, as one of his teeth was solid gold. If the remains are those of Baxley, robbery may have been the mo- tive for his death
 The body was found on April 25, month and half after Baxley disappear ed It was nude and in bade state of de- composition and was buried without ever being recognized. The body was describ- ed at that time as being that of man between 45 and 50 years old Baxley was AS years old. The hair corresponded in many ways to that of Baxley and the way it grew was similar.
 Baxleys disappearance has been pro- found mystery. He came to Birmingham on March g and registered at the Eagle hotel with two brothers from Talladega county named Parrish. and was last seen in company with these two men on the morning of the 10th. They claimed he left them and got on a train.
 Had 5000 With Him.
 When Baxley came to the city he had 5000 with which he intended to purchase cattle, and the theory was that he was killed and robbed, It would have been pos sible to have carried him to Blocton on the after noon train. disposed of him and for the murderers to have returned to the city on the following morning.
 A Pinkerton detective was employed on the case He has made a written report to MT. Baxley and it is said to contain statement that he has sufficient testi- nony to convict the murderers. provided 1t can be proven that Baxley is dead.
