BOY IS HELD FOR
MURDER OF WOMAN

Broxton, Ga. August 19.-News reached
here tonight of the murder OF MISS Mat
t;e Graham. which occurred sometime
during last night, near her nome TWO
miles north of Iokesboro, in Coffee coun-
ty. The woman was dragged to branch
half a mile from her house, where EVIL
denees of a desperate struggle were
shown. The body was beaten and the
skull crushed.
The object of the murder was evidently
robbery, as she was rich woman. Inc
autopsy, however, may reveal evidence OF
a more serious crime. She was promi-
nent and highly connected.
Miss Graham was one OF two maiden
sisters who occupied their home alone
The other sister was away from home at
the time of the murder.
Sheriff Dave Ricketson was at once no
tilted, and in company with the coroner
went TO the scene of the crime.
Sheriff Ricketson late today arrested
William Mcleod, a youth who is en-
ployed on the Graham farm, and he con-
fessed to knowing where the body had
been hidden, although he denied having
murdered the woman. He was placed In
the Douglas Jail. A. B. Carter, another
white tenant. was also arrested.

/ and state their hope that it will re-
] ceive sufficient patronage to keep it in
service.

TWO INDICTMENTS
IN Booking CASE
President of Brewing Company
Falls Under Ban
ONE POINT is NOT CLEAR
Persch Has Claimed That He Acted for
Man Higher Up, But the
Grand Jury Can't Solve
the Puzzle.
ONE POINT is NOT CLEAR

New York, August 19.-Ripples from
the big splash in the financial pool ere
ated by the arrest of Donald L. Persch,
a note broker, on charges of grand lar
ceny continue to widen and late today
reached Charles Katx. president of the
Eastern Brewing company of Brooklyn.
He was indicted today by the grand
jury for completely in the alleged theft
of 10000 shares of Copper stock, which
disappeared from the custody of the
Windsor Trust company with whom it
has been deposited as collateral for q
loan of $4,000 to NJ. M. Joyce, a broker
for F. Augustus Heinze, and bobbed up
again in the curb market when Helnze
bought it back again.
w. L. Clark, the broker who approached
the trust company for Joyce, was also
indicted today
Another development was the issuance
of warrant for Sterling Birmingham,
the Trust company's discharged loan
clerk, who is accused of having accept
ed gratuity of $3.50 for putting the loan
through. To accept such a fee is a
misdemeanor under the laws of this state.
All the men arrested or indicted thus
far have been shown to be closely con-
nected with Donald Persch, who is still
prisoner in the Tombs, unable to raise
the $4,000 bail demanded Both Katz
and Persch had desk room in Clark $
office and both received additions to their
bank account shortly after the loan went
through.
There remains to be cleared up one
essential point in the case one that
will determine whether or not Persch
can make good his assertion that he
acted for "a man higher up" The grand
jury is particularly DESTROYS of getting
light on the reasons that led the trust
company to accept the $1,000 bonus for
its services in putting the loan through.
John Alvin Young, president of the COM
pany, and his counsel, were both be-
fore the grand jury today for two hours,
presumably In explanation of this aspect
of the case and when they came out
both looked tired.
The officers of the trust company have
insisted from the first that they acted
in good faith and to give proof of this
President Young and Richard s. Kauf-
man, still another note broker, signed
affidavits on the strength of which the
warrant for Birmingham was issued
1t had not been served tonight.
Tomorrow there will be a general
roundup before Judge Mulqueen of all
those now under indictment.
