ARE SUSPECTED OF
 HETNOUO CRIME
WILL CATO AND PAUL REED ARE TAKEN TO SAVANNAH GA, FOR SAFE KEEPlNG-TWo THEo- RES ADVANCED.

Savannah, July 31-Will Cato and Paul Reed. suspected with the murder and burning of the Hodges family home near Statesboro. were brought here this morn ing for safe keeping.
 Evidence has developed that tends to show that a still more heinous crime was committed upon the person of Mrs. Hodges and her year old daughter be- fore they were killed That robbery was not the prime motive is shown by the finding of a purse containing several dol- lars near where the body of Mrs Hodges was discovered.
 The theory that has now the most ad- herents is that Mir Hodges was first att tackled and killed at the stable. Then little Kittie was assaulted. Her screams attracted her mother, who ran out with a lighted lamp which she sat down upon gate post The lamp was burning when the neighbors discovered the fire. When Mrs Hodges ran to the aid of her daugh- ter the theory is that she was knocked down and outraged and then killed. Then all of the bodies. living or dead, were dragged into the house and the torch applied This theory fits in with the confession of the wife of one of the ac- cused men.
