BOY WAS MURDERED;
HURLED INTO RIVER

ATHENS. Ga, Oct. 4-weighted down
with a 50-pound rock, the body Of Von-
derau Kennon. a well-known young man.
who disappeared from home on September
5. was found in the Oconee river, half
mile below Cemetery bridge today. 1t is
supposed thai young Kennon was murder
ed and his body thrown into the river.
Hennon left his home on September Is
on his way TO Atlanta to undergo treat
ment by an eye specialist of that city.
He was last seen In Athens near the de-
pot OF the Central OF Georgia railway.
His father learned that his son had new
er reached Atlanta and Immediately be-
gan search.
The river was dragged today and the
body found a few hours later.
ATHENS. Ga. Oct. 5.-Every clue that
has, been traced by officials Of Clarke
county as we'll as the local police since
the discovery Of Vonderau Kennon's body
in the Oconee river yesterday points to
one OF the most brutal murders ever re-
corded IN this section, although there is
no information that would lead to his as
sailants.
The body. weighted down by the heavy
stone, the half dozen blows that had
crushed in the skull, and the disappear
ance Of $50. all seem to corroborate the
theory Of robbery and murder advanced
by the officers.
Not satisfied with the evidence secured
yesterday, the coroner's jury resumed to-
day and sensational developments are ex-
pected-
The father and five brothers Of the dead
man arrived in Athens today and are as
sisting the police in ferreting out every
clue. Kennon was buried yesterday in
the family burial ground.
From the evidence secured by the coro-
mes jury at today's session, It appears
that the asseilants of Kennon were ne
groes. The jury. which is still in session,
believe sit will be able 10 bring the gull
ty PARTIES to justice.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.

A Star Appearing at Long Intervals
May Have Connection Herewith.
From the Kansas City Times.
The New Testament states that
the Star of Bethlehem appeared in
the sky at the time Of the birth OF
Christ. At various times since the
appearance Of Tycho Brahe's staa y,
the constellation of cassiopeia in
l972, the celebrated Nova of that
year, it has been suggested that this
might be variable star of long
period, though there is nothing now
in the vicinity of the place of this
star brighter than the twelfth or
thirteenth magnitude. Nevertheless
a reported appearance of a bright
star in somewhere near that part Of
the heavens about the middle CT the
thirteenth century, combined with a
more vague Account of some similar
appearance a little more than 900
years cartier, furnished material for
conjecture that these might possibly
81 former appearances of the star Of
1872, giving a period of about 80
or 315 years, which would carry it
back three periods more to about the
time of the birth of Christ. The ef-
forts of astronomy in this case to con-
vert into plain scientific fact an
event miraculOusly connected with
the birth of Christ and christianity
have so far proved unsuccessful

Unconscious and His Head
Badly Beaten.
One of the strangest cases of
aphasia ever known is puzzling the
physicians at the Flagler hospitals at
st. Augustine, Fla, as well as a num-
Der of medical men from Jackson

Georgia, who have gone to st.
Augustine to investigate it. Similar
cases are not unknown, but they are
exceedingly rare

unconscious, his head beaten. He

though there was no exterior wound
on his head. Every scrap of evil
dence that might lead to his identifi-
cation was lacking
There were no letters or papers Of

ty III St. Augustine are paying for

seriousness he raved OF two men with
whom he had been walking on the
San Marco road, and in his delirium
described the attack on him

name, occupation, home nor his bust
ness in st. Augustine. DR.. Webb is
inclined to believe he is from New
York. There is no evidence of a
compression about his head, and the
doctor says it is a clear case of a
conclusion that has temporarily par
alyzed his nervous system and caused
the loss of memory. He believes the
blows were delivered Win a Sano
bag.
The young man has regained his
strength rapidly, and will be able to
go out in a day or two. He is bright

scribes his sensations when he went

like"

inches tall, muscularly built, with
swarthy complexion, blue eyes, aqui-
line nose, full lips, black curly hair

his manner of speech that he is
