The Last Effort to Identify
Murdered White Man Is
Unavailing

The remains of the unknown white
man who was killed on MAY %, near
the old rolling mill in Gate city, were
buried in the potter's field yesterday.
This only came, however after a series
of exciting incidents concerning the iden-
tity of the body.
Yesterday morning the body was turned
over to the county authorities by the
Woodin Undertaking company and burial
in the potters field was at once ordered.
\ few minutes after l. o clock an un-
known white woman rushed up to Chief
Bodeker and asked him if he would not
stop the burial as she thought that the
body was that of her husband. Chief
Bodeker investigated and found that the
remains were already on their way to the
potter's field. However. on a chance.
Chief Bodeker ordered his chauffeur Ed
ward Lyons. TO take the woman to see
if she could identify the body before he
was buried.
The unknown woman. in the police au-
tomobile arrived at the potter's field at
about ] o'clock just as the grave dig
gers had started to cover the remains.
The errand of the woman was explained
and the body was eXhumed. The plain
pine box was opened and the woman
glanced keenly at the remains In a few
moments she said that the body was not
that of her missing husband and the
burial was completed.

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA

No. 33-Administration of Governor Houston
National Campaign: Senator Morgan

of state officers, county officers and MEN,
bers of Congress. Political services had
been made thus exacting on him for sew
eral months of each alternate year for a
| long time. His profession was measur-
ably sacrificed. Probably this fact pre-
vailed with him to devote himself wholly
to public office.
No public announcement of the car
did2cy of General Morgan to succeed
Senator Goldthwaite had been made.
Even his close friends were surprised.
but gratified, to find in the Southern
(Selma) Argus three days after the leeis-
lature assembled long editorial from
the pen of Colonel Mckee. whence comes
this extract: General Morgan is a can
dldate for the office of senator in Con-
gress. His daily life for years has passed
under our observation and scrutiny. We
have known his incomngs and his ont
soings. We have studied his character
ana analyzed his ability. We try neither
TO overestimate his virtues nor under
estimate his faults. And it is our de-
sliberate opinion that in genius. In On
erey, in integrity in zeal In fidelity TO
duty, in loyalty TO principles, in quick
ress of perception, in soundness of iude-
nent, in readiness to use all his powers
and in eloquence, he has had no superior.

States in the last quarter of a century.
He Is the least selfish and the most dis
interested public man we have ever
known"
The editor sent copies of his paper to
members of the legislature and follove
in person to employ the elegance of his
address in his cause
There were four candidates-Governor
Houston, Col. Thomas II. Herndon, Gen
Morgan and James II. Pugh
A party caucus vas called to select the
winner Apparently it was agreed that
Pueh should receive the unanimous vote
in the Senate and Morgan in the House
AT any rate. on November 2S Senator
Armstrong. from Lee. placed in nomna-
ton James L. Pugh, and Senator Knox
Samuel f. Rice. Pugh received all the
democratic votes and Rice received the
four soalawag votes.
On the same day in the House Mr.
Merasco. from Morgan county. put in
nomination Gen. John T. Morgan. Stev-
ems of Dallas put the name of Noadiah
woodruff in nomination. All the demo-
Gratis voted for Morgan. The 10 radicals
voted for Rice and Woodruff.
The next day, in joint session Mr..
Meiasco put in nomination the name of
John T. Morgan of Dallas for United
States senator for the full term of six
years. to succeed Senator George Geld
thWaite. The election was made by ac-
clamation. The official record shows III
for Morgan, IA for Rice and l for Wood
ruff.
General Morgan having been chosen
elector on November T. and later SEN
ator, resigned the former office in order
to remove all grounds for contest in the
&C INT by Congress of the electoral vote
of Alabama. His alternate, w. J. Sam
ford, took the vacated place.
