 Later on Mrs Lnker. clementss sis ter. is reported to have said that ciem- ents confessed to her that he had com mitted the bloody deed. It is also stated that ciements told Luker and his wife that they were talking too much. and that if they didn't stop it he would kill the entire Luker "out- ft," This Is said to have led up to the arrest
 Denial by Clensenss,
 Rob Clements denies all of these statements most emphaticaiiy and stili contends. as he has all along ever since he was arrested. that he Is innocent of the charges against him. He says he can prove that he was at home asleep when the crime was committed; that the noise of the burning buildings awoke him and that when he rushed out the buildings were nearly burned and that he saw some bodies of the Edmondsons in the flames that were rapidly consuming their house and barn. Further than this, he says. he knows nothing of the crime.
 Friends of Clements. 1t is understood, have employed a lawyer. of Hartselle. to defend Clements.
 ciementSs case will likely be tried at the present term of the Morgan County Law and Equity Court within the next two weeks. "a
 It is stated here that Rufus Lulker. Ciements's brother-in-iaw, will claim the reward of about tf50 offered for the arrest and conviction of the mur- derer or murdererH of the Edmondson family. Of this amount a portion of the reward was offered by the State and the remainder by citizens of the Woodland Mills neigh borhood
 Bob Clements, the defendant, Is a man of limited means. but, 1t isssald by those who know him. that he always stood well in the neighborhood of Woodland Mills where he was born and reared and where he has lived all of the 3s years of his life. He has wife and seven small children. the oldest child being a girl about 10 years of age. He Is the only support of his family.
 Clements ia rather small man, weighing perhaps about 1s5 or 14o pounds. He Is rather slender and as he talks he looks his questioner squarely in the eye without a move ment in his muscles or a tremor in his speech. His eyes and hair are coal black and aside from rather wild and somewhat dangerous look in his keen black eyes he doesn't look like a man who would commit as bloody q deed as that with which he stands ac- cused.
 Many citizens of the Woodland Mills neigh borhood are of the opinion that Clements Is guilty and they also are of the opinion that he was aided in the bloody. work by another man who has not been arrested.

BOB CLEMENTS TO FACE JURY Indictments Returned Against Him. TERRIBLE CRIME CHARGED Woodland Mil Tragedy Is Laid to
 Him. gsn Edmonason and Family Mardered and Bodies Burned with Their Home-Defendant Makrs
 Bitter Denial.

Decatur Feb. s.--tSpecial. )--The grand jury of the Morgan County Law and Equity Court, which adjourned here today, found five indictments for murder in the first degree against Bob Clements, who has been confined in the county jail for several days.
 Clements Ia charged with having murdered Tom Edmondson, Edmond son's wife, mother and also Edmond sen'a 1o-year r-oId daughter and 2vyear- old son and also burned their house and barn, near Woodland Mills. thls County in November of last year. In- dictments were not found against Clements for arson, as it was thought that the indictments for murder were all that were necessary.
 It Is understood that Clementss sis- ter, Mrs. Rufus Luker, and their g. year-old son are the most damaging witnesses against Clements. It is said that Clements admitted his guilt to his sister and, as the story goes. Tom Edmondson caught ClementsA and Mrs. Edmondson in the barn of Hdmondson together. It Is said that Clements drew his knife and with one stroke al- most severed Edmondson's head from hIs body. Mrs Edmondson screamed. 1t Is said, and Clements killed her.
 It Is related that Edmondson's moth CT heard the noise and ran out into the yard and that Clements killed her and then, going to the house. he killed the 2-year-old boy. It Is said that the grill ran from the house some distance and that Clements caught her in a broom-sage field and killed her there and carried her body to the house and placed 1t inside of the building. It Is said that place was found in the broom sage field where it looked as if there had been struggle
 Testimony of Boy.
 The s-year-oid nephew of Clements Is said to have said that the day af- ter the killing Clements gave him 20 cents not to go by the, Edmondson house. The little fellow, 1t seems, had been in the habit ofgoing by Edmond- sosPs house on his way to school.
 AS the story goes the house and barn Of Edmondson were burned, the follow ing night after the murder by Clem- ents. All the bodies are supposed to have been cremated In the fire. Re- mains which were identified as Mrs Tom Edmondson and the little Edmond son boy and girl were found In the ruins of the house and barn. but noth- ing has ever been found that could be Identified as the remains of Edmonds0n and Edmondson's mother. A watch and some small coin and a snuff box which had belonged to Edmondson's mother However, were found about the place soon after the murder.
 Soon after the tragedy e eoroner's dury was empanna1ed and humber oi witnesses were before the jury, some of the most prominent being Bot Clements Mir. and Mrs. Rufus Tucker The verdict of the coroner's jury wa, xhat the murder and burning had beer committed by Tom Edmondaou an that his whereabouts were unknown This verdict no doubt was reached largely from the fact that no remains of either Tom Edmondson orShis moth. qr could be found and for tszne many
