time before daylight next morning
He confided his awful crime to Starl-
ing, and asked for enough money to
send the boy to North Carolina, out
of reach of any probable inquiry.
He also asked Startling to keep the
matter secret for three days, as by
that time he could be beyond reach Of
pursuit. and it was not likely that
the murder would be discovered
earlier.
Mr.. Startling humored him, but told
him that he had better go with him
to Kathleen. where he had been sum-
moned to appear to answer the war
rant sworn out by Mrs, Slade He
consented, and when they had ar
rived at Kathleen, Startling, without
saying anything to anyone else, tele-
phoned Sheriff Logan, merely stating
that there was man there who had
committed a murder. Mrs. Slade, of
course, did not appear to press the
case, and the party waited for the
hearing, pending the arrival of the
Sheriff When the latter arrived in
due time, he was made acquainted
with the circumstances, and immed

that he was arrested for murder,

burial. She has two daughters it Is
said, who live in the Green Pond

A negro fight in Teaspoon Hill this
afternoon gained such proportions
that bystanders decided the police
were necessary and instead of phon-
ing they made the mistake of pulling
the fire alarm, and the Fire Depart

a drenching the participants in the
fight faded away, and were nowhere

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-05-29

Perhaps the most horrible murder
ever perpetrated in the history of the
county was committed late Tuesday
afternoon by man named Powers,
who killed an aged woman, named
Eliza Slade, at the latter's home,
some twelve miles east OF Kathleen,
remote and sparsely settled section
of the county.
Powers is now in Jail at Barlow,
battered and bruised from injuries
received when he jumped from Sher-
I'D Logan's car, in an effort TO es-
cape while he was handcuffed and
the car was conveying him to jail at a
speed of thirty miles an hour.
Eliza Slade, widow, aged 65,
operated small farm in the section
mentioned, her nearest neighbor be-
ing six or eight miles distant. Pow
crs lived on the place, cultivating
the farm on shares. He is widower
with two boys, aged thirteen and
eleven years, respectively The older
boy lived with him on the Slade
PLACE; the younger made his home
with Mr.. Lee Startling, near Gallo
way
Mrs. Slade and Powers had diff
ficulty over a crop, which eliminated
in Mrs. Slade coming in to Kathleen
Tuesday, and swearing out a warrant
for Powers arrest for cursing and
abusing her. Powers came in as far
as Socrum the same day. Returning
he found that Mrs. Slade had reached
home before him. He asked what she
had done and she told him she had
gotten out the warrant against him.
Words ensued, and Powers siezed
an axe and struck the woman on the
head. As she lay gasping he struck
her again. He then summoned the
boy to carry a lantern, and proceeded
to dig grave between two rows of
cane In a nearby patch While thus
occupied the woman gave a faint
scream, and he went back to the
PROSTATE form, and again struck her
over the head with the axe. The
grave having been hastily dug, the
body was dragged to the opening and
still gasping and quivering, was
pushed in the hole, face downward.
Powers then used cultivator on
the ground surrounding to cover up
all traces of the grave. He carried
water and put on the fresh earth, to
hide the fact that II had been recently
upturned, and then strewed chicken
feed about, so that the fowls would
further conceal by their scratching
all evidences Of the gruesome deed
When he had finished these ar
rangements, to his satisfaction he set
cut, on foot, accompanied by the boy
to the home of Lee Startling, over 20
miles distant, arriving there some
