The versions Of the cause of the

it is said. before danger signals could
be set, a westbound freight train
plowed into the coaches that had top

ed In deep mystery for many weeks,
and with Fort Valley fairly seething
with excitement. as the coroner's jury
ended its long session, the Frederick

matte climax, when Mrs. F. Eugene Ell.
mer, former wife of Shepard, Ernest
Hopson. her son by a former marriage,
anil Mrs. lone Henry, her sister, were
all arrested on the charge Of murder,
following the return of verdict that
the millionaire peach grower came to
his death as the result Of poisoning.
AS the testimony of witnesses that
Shepard was poisoned was concluded
In the little theater during the early
afternoon, Mrs. Elmer. who had been
listening behind the screens, slipped
from the rear entrance OF the building
to her rooms in a local hotel and then
hurried with her attorney, Charles M.
Durrance, to board the $3.50 train for
Macon. e
The couple had already secured their
tickets and were seated in the train
when Deputy Sheriff Robinson served
her a bail trover. From the station
she was carried to the offices Of Lewis
L. Brown, the attorney named as ex-
ecutor OF the Shepard estate in the
latter's purported will. Here she ar
ranged bond of $12o,o0o, her attor-
ney agreeing to sign the document on
the condition that she agreed to turn
over all her property to him. At this
time the coroner's jury had not reach
ed verdict, but shortly afterwards
tt3 reached a decision that Shepard
came to his death as the result OF poi
soning. and Mrs. Elmer was immedi-
aiely arrested on the charge of MUIR
der. Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hopson

there is plenty Of circulation afforded
by wide open doorways.
The pretty plan has been made as
complete as possible by the addition OF
a two-car garage IN the rear built
along the same architectural lines as
the main structure, so as to harmonize
thoroughly with It. Both buildings
have wide siding. painted white. A

the side of the house from the street
leads the way to the garage. The
house Is 26 feet wide and 80 feet

from Liverpool says:
AN alarming outbreak Of Sim Fein
violence occurred. Fires broke out
simultaneously both in the south and
north end Of Liverpool and also in
Bootle.
There were seven fires in Bootle
and IL in various parts OF Liverpool.
Subsequent discoveries revealed "a
well planned Sim Fein plot to spread
a holocaust of fire among the ware
houses in the dock area The fires
were spread over almost all of the
whole seven miles of the dock area
Owing to the inflammable nature
of the contents of the warehouses, the
flames quickly gained a stronghold
THE fires, in some instances, wero
quickly quenched. Others, in cotton
warehouses, burned fiercely the night
long In the south end and another in
Bootle, at the north end, are taken as
proving that there was careful organ
ization. 1t was found that all of tho
locks on the warehouses had been cus
with bolt cutters Many empty petrol
cans were found on che scene. Each
fire started at more than one place.
At one timber yard there were three
