FOUND HANGING
 |NACEOAR TREE Mystery Surrounds Death
 of Will Griffin PROBABLY SUICIDE
White Mans Friends Think He Has Been Victim of People With
 Whom He Recently Had
 Difficulty

l Florence, March 2S.-(Special. )-What l is thought to have been suicide was discovered this morning when John Will Hams found the body of Will Griffin, 8 white man, hanging in clump or cedar trees at the foot of Seminary street near the Southern railway. MT. Williams mo- tiied the police and the body was cut down by Policeman Dan Eastep, Solicitor Simpson holding that an inquest was un- necessary.
 Griffin's neck was broken, and if the death was a suicide he had climbed the tree and jumped from limb, as there was nothing under his feet. The man had been dead for some time, probably since Tuesday evening, as he was in the circuit court room Tuesday afternoon Griffin was involved in a lawsuit re- gently with his father, James Griffin, who sued to recover $500 worth of land claiming that he had given the money to the son to invest for him. The land was recovered by Griffin, ST. On Tues- day a case was called against Griffin in the circuit court, charging him with ob- tanning goods on mortgaged property, but owing to a defective indictment the case was thrown out, and he was bound over to tine next grand jury. Griffin is separated from his wife.
 John Gay of Sheffiled, with whom Grif- fin spent Monday night, refuses to ac- cept the suicide theory, stating that the dead man told him of difficulties he has been in over some land.
 Relatives of Griffin were notified, and his brother-in-law, a MT. Copeland of Springer Station, Tenn, came for the body and shipped it to Springer for in terment.

REAL MYSTERY IN DECATUR TRAGEDY No One Identifies Murdered White Man-Sells City
 Hall Bonds

Decatur, March 23.-(Special. )-After lingering for number of hours between life and death, the stranger who was .,ind in an unconscious condition at the : s-. lerpass of the Southern railroad at 5:15 o'clock yesterday morning died at the Sal vation Army hospital here last night The body has been embalmed and will be held for two weeks, if necessary in order that it may be identified.
 It is believed that the man had at some time recently been employed in one of the cotton mills at Gadsden In his coat was found a new weavers needle. The almost new hat which he wore contained the fo.- lowing stamp, Frank & Hagadorn, Gads- den, Ala" On one of his arms was tat tooed the emblem of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, the arms of the United States, scorpion and dragon and the initials w N. P" In his pocket was found card with a name and an ad- dress in Illinois written on it with pen- cil. Further than this there was nothing that might lead to identification. The city authorities of the Illinois town have been communicated with. The local coun- ell of the Junior Order United American Mechanics and the Decatur police officers are doing everything possible to get some clue to the mans identity.
 The dead man is about five feet eight Inches or nine inches in height. about 2S or 30 years of age, dark complexion, smooth shaven and we'll dressed.
 He had but one wound of any kind and that was fracture of the skull in the back of his head. Had he fallen from a train, as was at first thought. it is evident that he would have received other bruises about his body. Therefore, mur- der and robbery is now the theory.
 Decatur has sold S25 900 worth of bonds through Judge John B. Weallley of Bir- mingham, the bonds to be used for the purpose of building a city hall for De- catur. The city owns valuable lot on the corner of Vine and Railroad streets and it is likely that the city hall will be built on this lot The bonds are to run for 90 years and bear per cent n- terest. The present plan is that the city hall will be a two-story structure and it is likely that city hospital may oe- cupy the second story of the building It is expected that the building will be erected within short time.
