Claims Body,

Detectives saturday began hunt
for a mysterious man named Bigbie
in the belief that he can dissipate
the growing mystery concerning the
career OF Andrew j. Anderson and
Mrs. Amerson,' the young woman
known here as his wife and whose
refusal to accept his affections again
caused the insanely Jealous man to
STAY both her and himself.
This sensational move on the part
of detectives to unravel the fatal love
tangle came when q photograph of
Bigbie was found In the dead wom-
ans room at No. 81 Trinity avenue,
and closely followed the arrival in
Atlanta of w T. Anderson, of War
thep, Washington County, father of
the double slayer. The strange Big
bic photograph has added intensely
to the mystery because of an in
scription across its face.
From Papa to Louise" is written
plainly in ink The inscription is
signed "Bigbie."
The photo is that OF younger man
than ANDERSON.
Louise" is the name of Mrs.
Amersons" seven-year- Id girl, who
now is supposed 70 be with an aunt,
Mrs Lemmie Fulton, in Alaga, Ala,
and who was sent there by the woin
an through fear that ANDERSON would
Kill both mother and child.
Little Louise Is said by persons liv
ing in boarding houses where Amer
son and the young woman lived as
man and wife to have affectionately
called ANDERSON daddy
Information furnished Saturday by
DIR. Horace Grant. OF the Masonic Re
lief Association. indicates that AM
erson and the dead woman we're mar
ried and had been for at least seven
years, although 1t is now known pos
itively that Anderson has a wife and
two children living in Macon. He
had been separated from this wife
eighteen months, according to the
elder ANDERSON. who, in a statement
to The Georgian, removed all doubt as
to the Macon wife and children.
Hunting Diamond Ring.
DR.. Grant has seen the marriage
certificate Of ANDERSON and the wom
an he slew, and said they must have
been married seven years. From this
the police are inclined to the belief
that little Louise may really be the
daughter of Anderson.
Detectives also are assiduously
searching for $1,000 diamond ring
| which is known to have belonged TO
Mrs. ANDERSON and is missing. Ii Is
believed to have been pawned, but
despite a search of her effects Sat-
urday the pawn ticket could not be
| found
The woman told Miss Estelle Pit
man, an acquaintance who boards in
the house at No. "a Trinity avenue
that this was her engagement ring
from ANDERSON, and that she was
forced to pawn 1t to obtain funds to
care for herself and her little girl
That ANDERSON and the woman evil
| IDENTIFY had at times been well of
financially Is further demonstrated by
the fact that the latter wore on her
fingers five hand some diamond rings
at the time she was shot to death in
| Trinity avenue. When the clothing
of ANDERSON was closely searched at
Harry G. Poole's undertaking psrlors
| pawn ticket for a costly diamond
brooch was found.
This brooch was pawned in an At
lanta pawnshop.
The rings on the dead woman's
hand are valued at moro than $1,000.
Never Hoard of Dead Woman.
Amerson's father told The Georgian
that he had never seen OF heard OF
| the dead woman until he was notified
late Friday night of the double
tragedy Her identity is as great a
| mystery to the grief-ytricksn father
as It is to the police. If his son was
married to her. the father knows
nothing of IT, He said he met his son
last fall in Augusta, and that the
latter told him then that he had OBJ
tanned a divorce from his wife in
