LEFTWICH, Tenn, March 30
Much mystery attaches here to the
murder of Toney Steel, a reputable
colored citizen of this place, a tenant
on the farm of A. ]. Hardison, whose
body was found in the river Monday
afternoon after two days search by
residents Of the neighborhood.
Steel left home Friday afternoon
and went to his work on the river.
Some time during the afternoon he
was assassinated by unknown persons
and his body pitched into the river to
conceal the crime. When finally
found the body contained a pistol
wound in the back of the head, which
suggested the cause of death. A coro-
ner's jury was empanneled by Magis-
trate Hunter and after making thor
ough inquiry into the killing reported
that Steel had come to his death at
the hands of unknown parties While
no arrests have been made the officers
are working hard on the case, and it is
likely that arrests will be made within
the next twenty-four hours.
