FUNERAL OF DECEASED TODAY

Notwithstanding street rumors, no
new developments have arisen in con-
nection with George Dewitt having
been killed at Clyde early Monday
morning while he was preparing to
blow the safe of the Lamar Lumber
company.
William ("Bill) Taylor, an intimate
friend and associate of Dewitt has
been missing since the killing and
evidence points to his having been
DeWitt's accomplice, who is supposed
to have shot Dewitt, thinking him to
be one of the officers, who broke up
the project of the burglars. This is
purely a supposition, however.
Taylor purchased dynamite from
one of the local hardware stores last
week, and that found in DeWitt's pos
session after he was shot is identically
the same kind and quantity purchased
by Taylor.
7 Taylor is a married man and lives at
Clyde. 1t was reported Monday that
he had been found dead from gunshot
wounds, supposed to have been re-
ceived when the officers fired in the
direction of fleeing man when De-
Witt was killed, but the reports were
without foundation, and Taylor's
whereabouts are not known,
Dewitt and Taylor formerly worked
together in the yards of the New Or
leans & North Eastern railroad in this
city.
The officers are of the opinion that

in his robberies and are on the watch
