banks, and all the time showing no
money, yet his appearance was that of
a millionaire at all times.
Oliver made his first appearance in
Georgia about five years ago. He
established bank at Climax, on shoe
string" financing, and there, after run
ming for a short time, it is said, he
fleeced the people of that community
out of more than 100000. He managed
through his shrewdness, however, 10
always keep just within the law.
Never Could Trap Him.
Time and time again charges would
be brought against him, but never, IN
a business way, could anything be
proven against him. After unsuccess-.
fully trying for some months, the peo-
pie around Climax finally secured in
formation that led them to prefer
charges of bigamy against the man.
In a sensational hearing at Balm
bridge, Oliver was tried on this charge.
He had married Miss Rosebud English,
Climax girl, when she was but Is
years of age.
Two Wives Claimed Him.
A woman from Mississippi introduc-
ed testimony to the effect that she had
married L. c. Harding in that state,
and that Harding and Oliver were one
and the same. This Oliver always de-
MED, saying that Harding was his twin
brother. However, he was convicted,
and later appealed to a higher court,
which sustained the verdict of the
lower court.
He served four years on the chain
gang as result.
His marriage to Miss English was
declared void, and the Georgia girl ac-
cepted the courts decree.
No sooner had he regained his free
dom than he came back to Georgia and
started his same old game. On his re-
turn to south Georgia he opened banks
promiscuously, bought up sawmills and
other industries galore, for which It 8
said he never paid, claiming untold
fortunes behind his operations.
He opened banks at Leesburg, Smith
vile and Bridgeboro. Through his
smooth talk, he secured some deposits
in his banks.

Oliver, stated today that he carried
more than $4,000 insurance upon his

Oliver Known in Americas.
Oliver was well known in Americas
where he came frequently. At one time
he expressed intention Of establishing
one of his banks" here, but afterwards
for reasons, decided to try other fields.
News of his assassination, probably at
the hands of some of his numerous bus
mess associate, or victims, was phoned
the Americas police department at .
o'clock last night, with the request that
a watch be kept for divers slayers,
should they come this way.
There were no developments in the
case in Americas this morning.
The coroner began an inquest last
might over the body of oliver, which
remained at the bank. In the pockets
of the dead man were found checks for
more than half million dollars. One
of these was on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company for $256,OOO, and another
was on the Columbia County Bank, of
Benton, Pa, for $35O,OOO.
Both were made payable to a. D.
Oliver The Pennsylvania railroad
check was eleven years old and the
other bore date of May, 1914.
A Man of Mystery.
Oliver was a man of mystery" in
true spirit. His personal letters, found
upon his body, shed little light on his
identity, further than being A. D. Oil
yer. No family connections are men
toned.
Oliver, personally, was well-liked by
many who knew him, and that was
practically everybody in Lee county.
He had no bad habits that anyone
knew of, and always tended strictly to
his own business affairs. He was pleas
ant, and a good conversationalist. He
made friends everywhere, naturally,
also, some enemies.
One of His Games.
Oliver it seems, started on a tour of
south Georgia, and before leaving Lees
burg asked his cashier for several
blank cashiers checks, which he might
fill out, as heineeded expense money
The cashier signed several for him.
Oliver is said to have secured ten or
twelve thousand dollars off these
checks and then is alleged to have held
the cashier responsible for the money.
He was smooth talker. In this his
success lay After he had raised the
antagonism of all this section he made
big purchases, secured deposits in his
