prised to receive this letter be-
fore you have answered my last

to tell you about our picnic and
the many mishaps which fell to

gay party that started out early
ia Stthe morning to enjoy a day
at the lake. The., weather, was
perfect and we arrived at our
destination in Ugh spirits. The
first event on the program was
to satisfy that strange gnawing
sensation which lake breezes and
shady spots are. sure to create
and we were soon buried in. the
midst of boxes and baskets, ex-
ploring unknown regions and
coming forth triumphant when we
discovered some tempting dish. I
rushed to the rescue of my blue
berry pie just in time to prevent
sshunger-blind boy' from
sitting upon it. But worse fate
awaited both me and the pie, for
IN backing away from that ter
nble boy with the pastry held
high from his reach I fell over
bench and my head landed in the
center of the pie. The spectators
felt more sorry for it than they
did for me, but perhaps if. they
had known that it was I who
manufactured the pie, they, would
have changed their minds.

crime. Nose Hughes went to Union
on June to see his son. He was
seen by some negroes that evening
lust before he got to Tiger river on
his return home. but that was the last
time any of his friends saw him alive
Foul play was suspected, but there
were no more developments until June
7, when some searchers along the riV-
er were attracted by a flock of buz-
yards, gathered about something in
the water. Investigation developed
that the buzzards were after the body
of Nose Hughes. The negro had
been killed and after his hands and
feet had been tied his pockets were
filed with stones, fifty pound weight
placed about him and the body was
sunk in the stream. In spite OF all
this, however, the corpse had risen to
the surface, and when found a buz-
zard was helping himself from be-
tween the shoulders. An inqulsluoh
was held, but the testimony or the
people who are believed to know all
about the matter, threw but little
light upon the subject. 1t is pract-
caIly certain that as Hughes was re-
turning home from Union, he was IN
tercepted by Gillams and English,
and that after failing to make the OLD

him into the river. Gillams was at
the inquest, but his presence so intim-

case. that they were afraid to testl1y.

Atlanta. Both men have since been
arrested, Gillams at his home ana
English in Atlanta, and both are now
