there four days and those who know
the explorer we'll, especially Prof.
Mohn, the famous Norwegian mete-
orologist, expressed the belief that
Amundsen during his period had made
such observations and calculations as
would render impossible controversy
similar to that which arose out of the
Cook-Peary North Pole discovery.
Scott Nay Have Reached the Pole
Hobart, Tasmania, March TO-
Capt Ronald Anundsen, the discover
er Of the South pole, said today that he
thought it quite possible that Capt
Robert F. Scott, the British explorer,
had also attained the pole. He hoped
so at least. His own base, he said'
was 500 miles from that OF the Brit
ish party and his winter camp vas
nearer the pole than scott's. He had
no idea at the time that Capt. Scott
had started for the pole.
Can't. Amundsan has received thous-
ands of oontgratulatory messages. He
announces that he will remain here
until the Fran sails. He will then
begin a two months lecture tour in
Australia and will join the Fran at
Buenos Aires. From that port he
will proceed On the Fran to the Arctic
ocean by way Of the Behring straits.
Today Amundsen went for an auto
mobile ride with Henry D. Baker, the
American consul, and later dined with
him.
He was reticent concerning his own
experiences at the pole, but said that
Shackeltons expedition took much
more difficult route than he did.

to death. Beside the body lay pair
of homemade suspenders, some old
clothes resembling pieces of an old
quilt, and some rags which may have
been used in sitting the child to death.
Remains a Mystery.
Florence, March 10.-There is no
clue to the identity OF the murderer Of
little Andrew Jackson, the 8-year-old
boy whose body was found in an At
lantic Coast Line freight car last Fri
day afternoon by searching party Of
Boy Scouts. The little fellow was
last seen alive about s o'clock We'd
uesday afternoon. His dead body bore
marks which led the authorities to be-
lieVe that he had been clloked to death
after being struck on the back by some
blunt instrument.
Wild stories and theories as to how
little Andrew Jackson met his death
are rife In Florence, but absolutely no
clue has yet been found which would
seem to lead to the murderer. One
story has it that the boy was run down
by an automobile or wagon, badly hurt
and choked to death to conceal the
person responsible for the accident,
but the mark on his back was Of such
character that it is said it might
have been caused by carrying the
body for some distance after death
had already occurred.
Today Gov. Blease wired T. S.
Burch, sheriff Of Florence county, to
ask if he thought it advisable to offer
a reward for the capture of the muir
derer. The sheriff replied that he
would be glad for a reward to be Of
fered. The amount of the governors
reward has not yet been announced.
In addition H K. Gilbert, mayor Of
Florence, has offered a reward of S100
for information leading to the capture
of the man who committed the crime.
This was the largest amount Mayor
Gilbert could offer without the author
ity of the other members of city coun-
Gil. 1t is understood that the members
are considering the matter of giving
a larger reward
1t is certain though that the amount
offered by Mayor Gilbert will be in
creased, as a collection is being taken
up among the citizens Of Florence,
which will be added to the reward al
ready subscribed by the mayor.

FLORENCE LAD VICTIM
OF ATROCIOUS CRIME
Little Andrew Jackson's Body Found
in Box Car-Disappeared We'd
nesday Night.

Florence, March S.-Lying in a pool
of his own blood, within five hundred
wards of his home, in an old box car
in the shop yards of the Atlantic Coast
Line, the body of the little S-year-old
Andrew Jackson was found today,
where he was most foully slain on
Wednesday evening by some party or
parties as yet unknown. Such is the
sequel to the disappearance, from
this place, Of this child, mention OF
which was made in the News and
Courier of today.
Last Seen Alive.
Ever since 6 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, when the little fellow left
the home of his grandmother, Mrs. M.
L. A. Gardner, in North Gaillard
street, to go to his home, which is on
ly next door, his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Thomas Jackson, were dis
tressed lest some person had kidnap-
ped the child and carried him away
on some of the many outgoing trains.
# was only a few moments after he
left his grandmother's that his parents
made inquiry as to his Whereabouts
and we're informed that he had left
there to go home. He was never seen
alive after that time by anyone who
knew him.
AS soon as his father, who is ma
chinist in the Coast Line shops here,
missed him he began a search and was
assisted by number of neighbors and
friends. Every effort was made to 10
cate him and wires were sent to all
neighboring towns and cities asking
them to keep a lookout for the boy.
The Body Discovered.
The search was continued Wednes-
day night, yesterday, last night and to-
day. Today Mr.. James Evans, in
charge of the Boy Scouts, volunteered
to assist in the search and he and his
bows started out. About o'clock,
while searching the hundreds of cars
on what is known as the repair
tracks, opposite the Coast Line pas
senger station, near the, coal chute,
young Robert Howell found the body
in Atlantic Coast Line box car No. 49,
$40 and at once gave the alarm. It
required only few moments for a
great throng of people to gather about
the car to view the body, which lay on
the floor of this car, we'll N the north
end of the car.
The door on the north side of the
car was open through which young
Howell gained admittance.
The body as found, was lying on the
right side, with face partially up
turned, the left arm over behind and
partially under the body and the
knees drawn considerably. At one
time it was thought that the child's
mouth had been stuffed with cotton,
but it was found that, instead, it was
badly purged.
Swollen and Bruised.
The head was somewhat swollen,
the face on the right side was bruis-
ed, and several scars on the neck and
face, which resembled finger prints,
showed that the child had evidently
been choked or strangled to death.
Around the neck there was distinct
red mark, as if it had been tied with
string, and it is thought that the slay-
er must have tied string around the
child's neck to stife him and carried
him TO this lonely spot and choked him
