On the back of the letter was
scrawled in pencil the names and ad-
dresses of Hayes wife, brother and
mother, and also the name, Miss Effie
Matthews, 105 Bay street"
Saturday Mrs. Charles T. Hayes
received at elegram signed j. G.
Smith which read, "If you want to
see your brother alive, come at once.
Mr.. Hayes, together with Charles
T. Hayes wife, arrived in Macon
Saturday night at 500 o'clock, but
were unable to find the man who kill
ed himself this morning. Thinking
that they had been brought here as
the result of hoax they returned to
Athens yesterday morning.
After Hayes had been taken to the
police station last night, he denied
any knowledge of the telegram, but
letters fuond in his pocket this morn
ing indicate that he was probably the
sender himself. At 2 o'clock this
morning, according to the police, he
was in a normal condition, and gave
no signs of having attempted to take
his life. He stated that he had been
in Macon since last Wednesday, and
was in a normal frame of mind.
Found Ill In Cell.
The police sergeant was attracted to
his cell about three o'clock by his cries
and found that he was violently i'll.
1t is believed that the whisky was
taken after the dose of laudanum,
and that this helped to keep him in
a normal condition, until the whiskey
had died out.
Hays body was taken to Burghard >
undertaking establishment, where an
inquest was held at II o'clock this
morning. His wife and brothers were
notified of his death and they reach
ed Macon at 500 o'clock tonight.
Hayes had been in Macon, accord
inf to the police for several weeks
and was frequently seen in Tybee. He
is a middle aged man and his drawn
countenance indicated that he had dis
sipated a great deal lately.
The body will be taken to Athens
tomorrow morning.
