As the mother and children crouched
trembling in one corner the drunken
father battered in the door, seized his
shotgun and fired
The charge struck his youngest

his young daughter grappled with him
and, turning the gun upon her father
pulled the trigger. He was killed out
right.
1t is believed that Nichols infan,

'HOLD-UP'
DuvaI County Commissioner De-
cIares He Was Duped Into
$4,000 Land Deal.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 19.-Wn-
liam Burbridge, County Commission
er representing the Fourth District
of DuVal County, anda uthor Of the
resolution recently passed which pro-
vides for an investigation Of county
finances and contracts by State Au-
ditor Amos, exploded another bomb
shell at meeting Of the board to-
day.
He made a speech declaring he had
been duped into voting for the pur-
chase of a piece of property for $22.-
900 eighteen hours after it had been
purchased by the vendor for s7,lO0.
The property, containing 106 "a acres,
ostensibly was purchased as a site for
a poor farm and stockade.
Burbridge has succeeded in having
the deal held up, pending a further
investigation by real estate men, who
will report as to the actual value of
the property, although $4,000 already
has been paid by the county as ear
nest money.
Calls Sale a RAW Deal"
Burbridge stated at the meeting
that, in justice to himself he desired
to explain his part In the transac-
ton, which he designated as a raw
deal"
When the land was first offered to
the county" said he. Il thought the
price, $4,000, was entirely reasona-
bic, as land in the same locality Is
bringing high figures In a talk with
Ben Catlett, who sold the county the
property, l was given to understand
by him that he had owned 1t for some

Learning that $4,000 had been de-
posted as earnest money, I thought
the transaction had been hurried, and
wanted 1t postponed for future action

asked If there were not some way in
which the deal could be held I'D
Ready to Give Salary.
Il, for one. would be willing to give
up my salary as Commissioner until
the $4,000 given as earnest money is
paid back to the county. am OPP
posed to paying another cent for the
property, and | feel that the other
Commissioners and myself are per
sonally responsible for putting out the
money.
Il believe that II l did not explain
my position in the matter | would
certainly be suspected of being part
and parcel Of crooked deal"

This extract was taken from the
affidavit of r, A. Flanders, a first
cousin Of the dead man. Flanders
