MIDLOTHIAN
MURDER CASE
MYSTERY SURROUNDS STRANGE
ASSAULT ON \. TURNER FRI
DAY MORNING.
TRY TO SEEK ClEW
Thus Far Every Effort Has Failed
To Connect any one With the
Csilue-TUrner Died Here
! AT Night.

Complete mystery surrounds the
murder OF A. Turner. produce ped
der, who was found unconscious in
TIC Altman livery barn at Midlothian
early Friday morning. Turner died
az the Wsxahachie sanitarium last
night at 7:30 o'clock without ever
regaining consciousness. and the Off
GERS are cropping in the dark for
some clew that will shed light upon
the strange happenings that took
place Thursday night at the livery
barn. Late yesterday the officers
found small axe, hidden away in
the barn, that fits exactly TO the ugly
wounds on the old mans head. and
although il had been washed, there
were grey hairs on IL that matched
The hairs on the old mans coat.
This discovery changed the theory of
the investigating officials regarding
the instrument that was used to deal
the death blows. 1t is believed now
that the small axe was the instru-
ment At least two blows were dealt
with the blade OF the axe, for there
are two long gashes In the old man 5

skull The lick in the back of the
head might have been done with a

Slayton Turner, son OF the de-
ceased, and w G.. Lamar, a son-in-
lew, are here today to make ar
rangement for the funeral of the
murdered man. Another son-in-law
Joe Emory, came down from Fort
Worth and gave testimony in the
case.
The murder is one of the most
brutal ever perpetrated in the county,
Notwithstanding there have been
some very brutal murders among the
thirteen committed during the last
fifteen months. II seems that there
T. a possibility for the aged man to
have been attacked twice, or else
the murderer pursued freakish
mathods. If Turner was killed in the
sleeping room of the stable he was
carried to the rear and placed on an
old wagon sheet and covered with
another. and the murderer must have
been mighty bloody to have gotten
so much blood on the things in the
little wagon. Physicians say that he
could not have walked to the back
Of the barn and covered himself up
as he was covered after receiving the
wounds. This suggests that there
might have been two attacks. Il IS
evident that some one roamed about
over the south apartment OF the barn
for a considerable time. 1t is also
unlikely that the murderer covered
The old man up with the wagon
sheet and placed his coat under his
head.

has, we believe, awakened our ma
ton to the imperative necessity OF
having the nations public utilities in
the nations hands, or at least under
the nations direct control at mo-
ment's notice.
All these public utilities could
even now be operating for the sole
benefit and good Of the public if, in
the years gone by, our nations off,
cialS had but looked ahead far
enough. We do not believe the ru-
turc statesman will last long who
does not grasp this idea OF diverting
to the public good our great indus
tries and the great natural forces
that come within the true scope of
public utilities.
Time was when those who favored
such measures were scoffed at as
dreamers and theorists. Practical
demonstrations in other countries,
however, have illustrated the fact
that those who in the past theorized
and dreamed along these lines were
but few years, or decades, or may
be Il century, ahead Of their day.
Government ownership Of all pub
lie utilities is destined, in the Uni
ted States, to become Il reality. The
sooner it comes the better for the
whole country. Neither capital nor
labor should be in position to arbi-
trarily threaten the very life of the
nation.

ORPHAN WORK DAY.

The custom has grown up of hav-
ing one day in the year set aside as
Orphan Work Day.
That means that all friends OF the
orphans work on that day and what
ever they make they send to various
dcnominational orphanages. More
and more the custom has spread un-
til now it means IL great deal to the
orphanages.
This year September 3Oth is Or
phan Work Day.
Whatever you make on that day,
If you are a Presbyterian, should be
sent to Thornwell Orphanage, Clin-
ton. S. c., for it is the Presbyterian
Orphanage Of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina. Many children, fa-
therless and motherless, are there
from your State, and they are being
trained in hand, head and heart. If
1t were not for Thornwell Orphan
age they would not get this training.
Will you not, then, set yourself to
work Oh the 30th. and get others to
work. and send that days income to
your little brothers and sisters, who
must be cared for, and whom you
love to hn;p?
