NO FURTHER LIGHT is
SHED ON MANS DEATH

Nothing has developed to throw light
o nthe mystery Of the bullet pierced
and blood stained clothing found near
the Southern railroad tracks, east of
Vance avenue early Saturday morning.
No report or rumor of a dead or badly
wounded man who might have been
the wearer of the garments, has reached
the police or detective department.
A theory advanced by more than one
detective Is that possibly the clothing
was worn by an occupant of the tour
ing ,car containing negroes that was
shot up before dawn Friday by white
gunner on Fourth street and again
attacked a few minutes later on Beale
avenue. t. .%. .t,.
That the occupants of the car driven
by Slim Lawson Anderson, n egro,
who at first asserted they were fired
upon without cause by two white men,
are now keeping beyond tthe reach Of
the police, detectives are certain. Ev-
cry negro known or suspected of hav-
ing been in the automobile, when it
was riddled by bullets, has eluded all
efforts to locate them. Detectives be-
lieve they have left the city.
Police were notified OF the affair soon
after ii occurred. The usual custom,
especially where transients and negroes
are concerned is to hold witnesses or
possible witnesses at least long enough
to get a good lead on the case, but
in that instance no witness was held.
The general theory Is that the affair
was a row between the big syndicate
bootleggers and their transfer agents.
Arrest Of the gunner probably would
bring to light the bootleg business.
