The peculiar nature of the frac-

interesting for its haste. He was at

smiling assurance:

Legislation enlarging the juris-

The judges of this court were in
vited to appear in support Of their

The bill also abolishes concurrent
jurisdiction between the two courts
on all such cases and denies the

Fannie Cults. one Of those held un-

death mystery.
Details of this evidence were NOT
disclosed. According to the informa-
tion given out Mrs. Cults several
weeks ago communicated with Il
resident Of Fort Valley asking this
person to come to Fort Valley as
she wished to impart some informa-
tion concerning the death of Shep-
ard. She was referred to Mrs. Gran
dali. who. officials said. went to Alb
beyille and heard Mrs Cults story.
It was shortly after this that Solicit

Investigation that resulted in the
impanelling of special coroner-s
jury, the exhuming of the body OF
Shepard, for an analysis of the vital
organs. the finding ef poison. and
the arrest of the four accused pris-
oners.
