Case Is Found Murdered
in Law Office.
MADE HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE
Condition of Office Indicates Desperate
Struggle-Gets Threatening
Letters.

McRae, Ga, April 7. - That Pope
Hill, a prominent attorney of Macon,
is the third victim Of an assassin in

belief Of the authorities of this coun-
ty. Hill was found dead in the Of
fees of a local attorney at 7 a. m.
yesterday, a bullet in his brain II a
revolver with one chamber discharg-
ed grasped in his right hand. The

was crushed and the furniture was
broken. On the floor lay an unfin-
ished court motion in the Dodge case,
