Brings A HOST
TO COURTHOUSE
-
MURDER TRIAL OF INTEREST
Wealthy Negro Charged With
Numbering Woman
4 veritable black cloud penetrated

A veritable hlaek cloud penetrated
the superior ao1lrtroom yesterday
when five hundred negroes from the
Fifteenth district swarmed there as
spectators or witnesses in the trial of
William Walker, a wealthy Sumter
county negro, who with Romeo Henfy,
another negro. il charged wnh having
murdered Jessae Williams and throwL
her body into Flint river, sensational
tragedy of recent occurrence.
The gallery of the courtroom was
densely packed with them, while the
corridors on each floor held 3 crowd
as WE'LL The trial was entered upon AZ
10 O'Clock, and will not be concluded
until some time today.
Walker and Henry have been in Jail
here since late in October when the
Iferryman at Flintside found the body
|of, the negress, weighted down with
irons, in the muddy waters of the
Flint. Suspicion pointed strongly to
these two negroes and their arrest
quickly followed.
Walker, a prosperous negro worth
probably $4,000 or $4,000, was tried
first. He is an octoroon, with good
features and straight hair and would
readily pass for q white man. He is
represented by attorneys ]. A. Hixon,
W. w. Dykes and L. ]. Blalock, while
Solicitor General J r. Williams and
City Court Solicitor 2. S. Childers, re-
present the state, an able array of
counsel in the cause celebrae.
The woman, Jessie Williams, ha I
been living on or near Walkers place
where, it is said, he was a frequent
caller at her house 1t is also alleged
that he and Romeo Henry were seen
with her few hours preceding the
time when the crime is believed 10
have been committed.
Walker will attempt to establish an
alibi, alleging that he was in another
locality on the afternoon of the kill
ing. Other evidence will be adduced
to the end of establishing his inno-
cence of the charge, it is claimed.
The woman had been we'll supplied
with fine clothing and valuable jewe.-
ry, found upon her body when it was
drawn from the river. Silk garments
silk hose, gold rings and gold neck
lace were upon the body. The VIII

lived with her husband for some time
II was his desire, however, to re-
move her from the Walker neighbor
hood back to his own home.
The killing was a sensational affair
and the result of the trial will oe
awaited with considerable interest.

THIRTEEN LIVES
ARE LOST IN
TEXAS FLOOD
GREAT DAMAGE is DONE BY THE
SWOLLEN BRAZOS RIVER
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
ARE NOW HOMELESS
Austin, Dallas, Marlin and Other Cities
Suffer Great Damage

Dallas, Tex, Dec 4. = Rainfall
continued today in the food districts
of central Texas, adding to the menace
of high waters, which already have
cost thirteen lives and about $1,000,-
600 property damage.
The area of overfowing rivers
spread rapidly last night, the most
important new point affected being
San Antonio. The floods today Gov
cred portions of nearly every county
from San Antonio northward almost
to the Panhandle and from THIS
point eastward to include all the i'm
portant cities of north and central
Texas, Houston, Beaumont and Gal
weston, alone were not threatened.
The homeless numbered thousands
but inasmuch as they were divided
into small groups throughout the i'm
'mense food territory no serious re-
lief problems were presented. At
Bolton, where part of the town was
cut off by water, baskets of provis-
ions were propelled on telephone poles
to flood victims. Bosque, near Waco,
was reached. The rise did not reach
there until yesterday, when came ii
wall of water about ten feet high. The
residents had been warned.
One hundred and seventy-f1ve pas
sengers on a Houston Texas Central
railroad train were marooned al
night near Marlin. The food water
rose over the rails until occasionally
it Tapped the lower steps of the
coaches. The Marlin overflow is from
the Braxos river. 1t is estimated that
the Braxos is ten miles wide at some
points, Marlin is five miles from the
river.
At Waco where several thousand
persons were driven from their homes
bv the Brazos flood no loss of life
had been reported. Inundation of the
cemeteries stopped burials through
out the city. Planning mills turned
out scores of boats to rescue the
marooned and salvage property.
At Fort Worth on the Trinity
river yesterdays apparent relief OF
food conditions changed this morning
when a dangerous new rise in.
The floods death list is:
AT Bolton, five members of the
Polk family.
At BrOnwood, D. Lyton.
At Dallas, B. F. Lacy.
At Grand Prairie, Manley.
At High Bank, near Marlin, two
negroes.
At Austin, three unidentified men.

CAR PLUNGED OFF MUCKALEE
BRIDGE INTO TWELVE FEET OF
WATER EARLY LAST NIGHT
HANSFORD WAS BURIED
BENEATH THE DEBRIS
Popular Young Man Passes Away
Body and Car Were Recovered After
Work of an Hour

Otis M. Hansford went to tragic
death last night when his automobile,
from unknown cause, plunged Off
Muekalee creek bridge at the foot Of
Church street and sank in twelve feet
Of water. Mr.. Hansford, evidently
unable to eXtricate himself in time,
went down with the car and was pin
ioned beneath it, the body having been
recovered an hour later when the
wrecked vehicle was dragged away.
First information Of the tragedy was
Ihoned to the city by parties near the
scene who, while witnessing the plunge
of the car, yet were unable to state
definitely whether Mr.. Hansford was
alone or accompanied by his sister-in-1
law, Mrs. W. R. Hansford. i'aH
This fearful uncertainty kept rela-
tiyes and spectators in dire suspense
until it was ascertained that Mrs.
Hansford was safe at her home in the
county.
Mr.. Otis Hansford left the city about
$50 o'clock to drive to his brothers
home. At the long bridge over the
main stream he overlook another team
and in avoiding it he probably lost
control of his car. At all events, the
machine went off the bridge and drop
ped almost straight down into water
twelve feet deep.
There was railing upon the bridge
at the place of the tragedy, It was sad
last night, but at other points the
railing is missing
Within the brief space of fifteen
minutes friends went to the rescue
and the task of recovering the car AMI
body of the unfortunate man, so wide
ly known and esteemed, was begun.
Graphing hooks were employed, and
under direction of M = Arthur Ry-
lander and Henry Christian, assited b"
a hundred willing hands, the demol-
ished car was dragged ashore in two
parts.
The top came first and twenty min
utes thereafter the remainder of t13
wreck was landed. The wreck was cas-
erly scanned by anxious friends as It
came ashore, but the body sought was
not. in the tangled mass of debris.
Released when the car was reno :
ed, the body dropped fifty feet down
stream, where it was recovered after
dragging with hooks.
When the body of the unfortunate
man was brought ashore physicians
and others made every attempt at res
uscitation, but life was extinct, the
body having remained in the water Tor
more than an hour.
Later, the body was conveyed to the
place of the Americus Undertaking CO,
and prepared for burial. During the
hour intervening before the body was
recovered hundreds of anxious friends
and spectators visited the scene. The
bridge from which the little car plun5-
ed is the property of Sumter county. l.
is not strong structure, and is soon
to be replaced with bridge Of con-
crete
1t was a wierd scene and most
heart-rending one, as, under the flick
ering light of lanterns, anxious search
Americus times-recorder., 1913-12-05

ers worked heroically in the cold water
for the recovery of the body. Uncer-
tainty as to the fate of others added
sorrow to the scene.
Mr.. Hansford was about 81 years
of age and unmarried. OF genial dis
position and temperament, he made
friends readily, and there is universal
sorrow at his tragic death. He is sur
vived by his aged father, Mr. }. M.
Hansford, and by three brothers.
Messrs Lee NJ, William R. and Halle
Hansford, all residents of Americus'
and alike highly esteemed.
Funeral arrangements had not been
completed last night, and will be an
nounced some time today.
