 FAMILY SLAIN Claims Moonshiner Beau of Sis- ter Committed QuadrupIe
 Murder.
ONLY ONE ESCAPES
Eaclna Trial for Attack on Girl, Man Is Believed to Have Planned
 to Wipe Out Whole Family.

AmOry, Miss.-CharIie Marshall, moonshiner and backwoods beau, is Aader heavy guard in the jail at Aber deen, charged with the most brutal quadruple murder ever known in this section.
 For, when they buried the charred and shattered bodies of Fannie Green Miller, who had been MarshalPs sweet heart; her eight-months-Old baby, Bur lev, said to have been Marshalls son Robert Miller, Fannie's father. and Leonard, her brother, sixteen, the stage was set for the lynching of Charlie Marshall.
 Pearl Miller, thirteen, the only sur viVing member of the family, says that she watched Charlie Marshall at the hideous task of slaughtering the four victims of the swampland tragedy.
 The belief of the countryside is thai Charlie Marshall, facing trial shortly for an attack on Fannie Miller planned to dodge this trial by wiping out the whole Miller family, and that the escape of the thrteen-year-old girl upset this plan.
 From miles about the lean and SWarthy dwellers of the bottom cOun- roy drove in with their womenfolk seated in chairs in the boxes of the lumber wagons to discuss in shocked whispers what had been done in the DlackneSs of a stormy night. There were OminOus bulges under hOmeSpun shirts: there were well-worn shotguns and rifles under the wagon seats.
 Sheriff John B. Lewis fled from Amory with his prisoner in an automo- bile and saved Marshall from the ven- geance of the countryside.
 There was much talk in the Tom Bigbee bottom about the Miller family and Charlie Marshall. Fannie Miller hd known Marshall all her life. but started keeping company with him three years ago, when he "saw her home" from a circuit riders meeting. She was fifteen then, and Marshall twice her age.

 About eighteen months ago the girl returned one evening and tore up Mar shalPs picture, scattering the frag- ments in the fireplace.
 Her mother died F years ago, and iAthe lonely farmhouse Fannie had no one to whom she could confide.
 Later she was compelled to tell her father what had happened. She said that Marshall had seized her as she
