Columbia, Miss, May 12.-It was
proven conclusively yesterday morn
ing by five responsible men, accom-
panied here from McComb by District
Attorney Lee Garland and his assist
ant, that William G. Walters, who is
here in Jail charged with being impli-
plicated in the abduction of the Dun
bar child and who is awaiting the re-
suit of the investigations, was in Nc
Comb Dec. IS, 1912, with this child.
The Identification was made in the
courtroom before large crowd. The
five men who were to identify Walters
were placed in a closed room before
Walters was brought in, so that there
was no possible chance of their seeing
him before the test. Walters, who
had spruced up bit having a clean
shave, clean collar and shirt, and in
fact looking his best, was brought in
and placed on the front seat among
| those who had come to witness the
proceedings. He did not seem to be
nervous or perturbed over the matter,
but looked every one in the face with
bold smile.
