Sewer Empties Near BY
Just a few feet away. a big sewer emp
ties out and the water pours down with
roar All around are the woods with
hills sloping up on each side The place
is fifty yards or more from Ponce de Leon
avenue. and is just where Jackson street
would be if il penetrated through.
1t is believed that the girl was a ne
gress. The body found near it several
weeks ago was that of a negro girfabout
16 years of age.
The first body was found just off the
sewer and only a few yards from Bed
ford Place. The second was found only
a few feet from the sewer and not more
than a block away. A part of the jaw
bone is missing and this may mean that
the victim was shot and the bullet pen
etrated the jaw or that she was struck
with some instrument

Evidently, the body had been buried
for many weeks. The bones are bleached
and bare and the clothing has begun to

Little boys, playing, discovered, both
bodies. In the first instance, a shoe was
seen protruding from a trash pile, and,
when 1t was pulled, an ankle came out
from the pile of garbage. The body in
that case had not been buried for more
than a day or two and the features were
still clear and distinct. Finally it was
identified and several suspects were ar
rested by the police, but all have since
been released. Who murdered the girl is
still a mystery. 1t is now doubled in.

might have avoided many an unpleas-

TO do otherwise.

them profited handsomely. Coffroth in

money than Johnson ever saw in his

the fans believe that he ever got away
