WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.
Farmer, His Wife anC! Three Children
Killad-Home Burned.

Statesboro. GG.-The mangled bodies
Of Henry Hodges and his wife and
three children were found in the ruins
of their country home, six miles from
this place.
Neighbors discovered the house in
flames after midnight, but the fire had
made such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to stay it. AS none Of the
members of the family were seen dur
ing the fire the %neighbors took it for
granted that the family were away
from home. At daylight the bodies OF
the entire family were found in the
ruins.
Mr.. Hodges skull was crushed in as
though from the blow Of an AK, and
Mrs. Hodges head and body had been
beaten with some blunt instrument.
The body of the little girl was horribly
mangled. The bodies of the two other
children did not show any signs of yio-
lence, and it is supposed that they were
victims of fire alone.
On pieces Of timber in the yard were
found blood stains and bloody finger
prints.
1t has been asccrtained that Mr..
Hodges went to a npighbor's to bring
home his little child, who had been
spending the day there.
All the bodies We're dressed. indicat-
ing that tire crime was committed early
in the night. before any of the family
had retired.
