SPOOKS JIG WHERE
MAN WAS MURDERED
Cinders on Which Ira Stout Died,
Turn White-Residents
SILVER.

Residents in the neighborhood of
Good Hope and Fountain streets have
recently been aroused to condition
of restlessness bordering on to alarm,
over the mysterious appearance of a
silhouette outline of a human form,
which marks with distinctness the po-
sition in which Ira Stout was lying on
the cinder walk Immediately after his
murder few months ago.
The surface of the walk on which
the body rested, has turned almost
completely white, and at this time
presents the appearance of a marble
slab carved into a human shape and
packed in a bed Of cinders. The out
line is pronounced perfect reproduc-
ton in every particular of the posi-
ton in which the victim of the tragedy
was found, and the material upon
which the body rested appears to have
been bleached and turned to stone.
Where stream of blood had flowed
from the head Of the murdered man
and formed in a pool a short distance
away, the same transformation has
occurred, and the petirfied condition
exists.
The spectacle has been observed by
a large number of people, none of
whom has been able to offer a salts
factory explanation of the strange
phenomena.
The tragedy recorded by this mys-
ferrous profile, is the murder of Ira
Stout who was killed on the culvert
at the crossing of Good Hope and
Fountain streets in this city, few
months ago. He was shot by an I'M
identified negro, who escaped in the
darkness.
A few hours later, Curly Smith, a
negro, was arrested while walking
along the street about a block from
the scene of the killing. He has al
ways stoutly maintained his innocence
Of the crime, and is now in the county

turned to the Cape and resumed his
labors as foreman on the college farm.

years, but later rented a large tract
of land in Illinois and farmed for him
self He afterwards rented the col
lege farm and operated it as tenant.
He was born in Langford County,
Ireland, III September, 1929, and was
married shortly after his arrival in
