ious Maybray gang is' being slowly
snfoIded by federal authorities here.
Meanwhile twelve men charged with
being members of the syndicate and
which had it's headquarters at Muncie,
Ind, are under arrest for using the
mails to defraud.
The investigation has progressed
far enough to convince federal au-
thorities that the 7 gang, cleaned a
hugh fortune from wealthy men in
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and
Missouri, and then sealed the lips Of
:.:..:e victims by staging = '~'fatal" prize

make an acquaintance and then whis-
per" of a proposition involving the
purchase of real estate from an Eng
lishman, whose dishonest secretary
was letting the property 80 for a sum
far under its real value.
The victim is induced to get $10,-
600 cash, and the "Englishman" is in
troduced, but just before closing the
deal the Englishman, q great lover Of
sports, decides to 60 away to attend
a sporting event. To keep him pres
ent boxing match is arranged. l.:
The coming contest creates great
interest and those on the inside learn
that it is to be a t'fixed" event. The
victim enters the inner circles; he sees
thousands of dollars pass. hands; he is
even made stakeholder for q night ;
the pot keeps growing, sometimes
reaching 5000, ,p00,a before the victim
himself finally decides to take a

one fighter is knocked out. He bleeds

and then it is announced amid great
excitement that the fighter is dead
There is a hurried conference concern
ing probable murder charge; one
seizes the money bag and calling to
the others to meet him tomorrow, de-
parts in great haste. The victim is
solemnly cautioned to remain quiet.
After a time he is informed that the
money was used to fix the authorities.

came into. the house, she found this

lap.
F Back Of the terrible scene that was
enacted in the Med Donnell home near
Counteney on March "a, Lasts when
Eta was kicked by her father and
beaten till she was unconscious by
her mother, was a hatred for the child
that the mother developed because OF
her story Of the neighbor's alleged
visit. ..-.z...f. .-z..5f J. s.
That hatred was given by Mrs.
Med as the cause Of her action
in beating the child, when she related
to States Attorney John Carr the
whole sordid details Of the scene that
ended in the child's death.
Confirmed First Story,
Miss Mcdonnell told the story of
the child's death to MIR. Carr. after she
had called the prosecutor to the Jail,
several days after. she and her hus-
band had been arrested charged with
killing the child. r:
Mrs. Mcdonnell said she had decid-

story Of what happened, and she pro-
ceeded Immediately to detailed &C.
count Of the. affair. It corresponded
in detail with the story that she told
I the right she was brought to James
town, when she made her first confes-
sion. That confession was repudiat-
ed the day following, but few days
thereafter the. woman confirmed hel
first statement. Mr.. Carr kept the
second confession secret.
Father Kicks the Girl.
According to the wonan's story,
which covers about Is pages, and
which she signed in the presence OF
witnesses, Mcdonnell first assaile<1
the child on the morning Of her death.
Eta was lying on an improvised bed
on the floor, and the father kicked
her brutally three or four times.
Mrs. Mcdonnell said she dressed
herself and then took board from
the end of an apple barrel and began
beating the child. The board split,
she said, and then she took up one
part Of the broken board and contin-
ued w1tn the punishment of the girl.

on that block. Sore of the fellows said
the Germans was maxim fats from

moments the habitual twinkle disap-

after we got back into Belgium in

a little farm where there was three

been there all along, an they said"

glanced carelessly at his new wrist

shook it.

Geneva (Alabama) County Reaper.
The people of Geneva on Monday
was panied to learn that Y. ]. Boozer,
of Samson, had departed this life Sun
day night in South Carolina, where
ne had gone to be with his mother dur
ing the Christmas holidays. Shortly
after arriving at the residence of his
mother he was attacked by Influenza,
and pneumonia developed. The re-
mains were inferred in the Geneva
cemetery Wednesday afternoon. Rev.
A. T. Sims of Daleville, former pastor
of the deceased at Samson, was re-
quested to conduct the funeral ser
vices, which he did. Mr.. Boozer was
one of Samson's most progressive citi-
zens and business men,. and will be
greatly missed.in the town and county.
He is survived by widow and four
children, who have the coincidence and
sympathy of large circle of friends
in their sad bereavement.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-02-04

whereby the city regained control OF
the municipal plant.
Mr.. Boozer was for third time a
candidate for mayor during the past
campaign, but was defeated in a sec
ond primary (the first one resulting
in tie) by J. C. Brunson, the incum-
bent.
MIR. Boozer was an active member of
the Samson Baptist church, and his
former pastor. Rev. Mr.. Sims, in con-
ducting the funeral services took oc-
casion to praise Mr.. Boozer's devotion
and growth in religious ways, as DEM
onstrated by his increasing activity
and libera3ity. He had been a deacon
OF the congregation for some time
prior to his death.
AS chairman of the city Liberty
Loan committee, Mr.. Boozer threw his
V hole energy into raising Samson's
quota, and this was done in each in
stance. He was also liberal with his
time and money in helping other war
activities, although the problems de-
veloping in the big plant under his
supervision from war conditions must
have been very pressing. That he
found time to attend to all of them
was proof of the abundant vitality and
unconquerable spirit of the man.
He was stockholder in the recently
organized Farmer-White Hardware
company, of which he was president.
He was Mason, having advanced
through all the York rite degrees and
was Shriner. He was also a mem
Der of Samson camp. w. o. w.
The deceased is survived by wild
ow and four small children.

SAMSON CITIZENS HONOR
MEMORY OF YOUNG J. 6ooZER

Samson (Alabama) Ledger.
Despite a drizzIing rain and cut
ting wind, several hundred people
gathered to meet the westbound Cen
trail of Georgia train Wednesday aft
ernoon as a tribute of respect to the
memory of Young ]. Boozer, whose re-
mains. arrived at that time from Clin-
ton, S. c., where Mr.. Boozer died Sun
day night at the home Of relatives,
wEo-, he was visiting when influenza,
followed by pneumonia, struck him
down.
Immediately after the funeral party
arrived in Samson, it left in autos for
Geneva, where the remains were in
tered in the town cemetery. Prob.
ably $50 persons from Samson made
trip, and the procession Of automobiles
was one of the largest ever turning
out to funeral in this section.
The following acted as pallbearers:
R. H. Dawkins. ]. c. Breckenridge, w.
c. Reeves, J. D. Holloman, T. c. War.
ren and H. c. Orme.
Several from Geneva, including Pro-
bate Judge w H. Morris, former Con.
gresham W. o. Mulkey and County
Treasurer J. A. jenkins, came up to
Samson to meet the train and join the
funeral cortege.
At the Geneva Baptist church GER
vices were conducted by Rev. A. 7.
Sims of. Midland City, .fo- nearly four
years pastor of the dec ased in Sam
son, and Rev. W. NJ. Olive, pastor Of
the Geneva congregation Appropriate
songs were rendered by a; sextette
from Samson, composed of Mrs. NJ. L.
Cureton, Mrs. T. H. White, Mrs. L. H.
Chappelfe, Jr., Mrs. S. A. Beall, w. c.
Reeves and S. A. Beall.
Following the church services inter-
ment took place in the Geneva grave
yard.
Mr.. Boozer, although but 33 years
old, had achieved for himself the re-
spect of all in Samson and the admira-
ton of many. A saw mill man by oc-
cupation, he had early in life been
able to assume weighty responsible
ties. In his late 20's he assisted in the
reorganization of the properties of the
Simpson Harper interests, following
the bankruptcy of the latter, and be-
came president Of the Alabama Mill
and Land company. When the latter's
properties were acquired by the Thos.
N. Baker Lumber company, Mr.. Booz-
er became superintendent of the COM
pany, and occupied this position at the
time of his death.
In 1914Nhe was induced to enter poll
tics as candidate for mayor. AL
though defeated in the primary it was
by a close vote and two years later he
was nominated and elected mayor. AS
executive of the city he instituted a
number of changes, among them pay
ment of current accounts ahead of lot
of debts which had accumulated dur
ing the several years of the city's his
tory. Strict enforcement of the pro-
hibition, vice and Sunday closing laws
were also feature of the administra-
tion. For a while Samson was the
tightest town in Alabama probably so
far as Sunday closing was concerned.
During his administration, ALSO an
was made with the hold
