FINDS TRACE OF PREACHER.
Deputy Sheriff Gets Information That
ErFnown Man Slept at Carters-
Vile.

Deputy Sheriff John d. Epperson
on Friday made a trip through all
OF the Shiloh country through parts
of Sumter, Lee, Florence and Clar-
endon counties seeking information
concerning the unknown preacher al
legged to have been the slayer Of
Frank Pye. At only one place was
any information obtained concerning
the man. This was at Cartersville,
where he had slept the night after
the shooting. The morning after the
shooting he had been found alseep or
the cotton platform at Cartersville,
but he had later disappeared and
nothing was known of his present
whereabouts. At the time the man
was seen at Cartersville, the news Of
the killing had not become known.
AT all the places visited Deputy
Epperson put the officers on notice
and asked them to arrest the man, if
he turned up. He seems to be gem
orally known throughout the country
visited by the officer as q religious
fanatic, but nowhere could he dis
cover the mans name.

Berlin, Oct. 17.-Twenty-e eight per-
sons were killed today near johann
nisthal in the explosion and fall of
Count Zeppelin's latest dirigible bal
loon, the ILL" The % men rep
resented the entire personnel of the
admiralty board which was to con-
duct the final trial of the dirigible,
looking to it's acceptance by the gov
ernment as new unit Of the German
aerial navy, the pilot and crew and
invited guests. Every person that
went aloft in the big airship is dead.
Twenty-seven of them were killed
almost instantly by the explosion of
gas in the balloon or burned to death
as the flaming wreck fell to the
ground from a height Of 900 feet and
enveloped them. One man, Lieut..
Baron Won Bluet of the Queen Angus
Ia Grenadier Guards, guest OF the
admiralty board, was extricated alive
from the mass Of twisted wreckage.
His eyes were burned out and he suf-
fered other terrible hurts. Begging
his rescuers to kill him and end his
suffering, he was taken to a hospital
where he died tonight.
The LII" had it proved success
full, would have been attached to the
aerial corps Of the navy, which after
today's fatalities now has only two
men trained to command airships.
The official report Of the accident
says the explosion was due to the ig-
milton Of gas in r above the forward
gondola, but not within the body Of
the airship.
The navy was not the only sufferer
today through aviation accidents, foI
three army officers were killed in
aerOplane fiights-Capt. Haeseler,
Lieut.. Koch and Sergt. Mantle.
