STORY OF KILLING BROTHER
WITH AXE ON wharf.

Hosea Pool and Frank Thomas, ne
groes, are in the scounty Jail charged
with murder in connection with the
killing of Albert Pool, brother of
Hosea, early tuesday night. Pool
was arrested yesterday morning on
charge of murder following discovery
of the crime, report of which was
made to the police station about z
a. m. Following his statement yester-
day afternoon to Sheriff Whitaker
Frank Thomas was arrested on sim
liar charge.
Albert Pool was hit twice over the
head with the dull edge of an axe and
once with another blut object. His
body was thrown into the bay off
Muscogee wharf, near the scene OF
the murder, later being recovered by
drags.
Hosea was a trusty prisoner at the
county jail and had been used at night,
IN absence of extra janitor. to keep
the fires at the Jail. Tuesday night
he slipped away, returning a little
later through the coal chute. He was
serving time for theft of bicycle and
clothing. At the time of his trial,
Albert was chief witness and Hosea
him, should the two ever meet after
the sentence was completed.
Hosea made the following statement
to the sheriff yesterday afternoon: He
and his brother had. started to an en-
tertainment and when they reached
Muscogee wharf Hosea went back
home for an axe, explaining to their
mother it was to fix the heel of a shoe
of Alberts. Frank Thomas Joined
them and Albert and Thomas quar-
relied and later came to blows. Albert
picked up an axe and threw it at
Thomas, but nearly hit Hosea In
stinctively, according to Hosea, he got
a railroad nut, which he had been
carrying in his pocket and threw it at
Albert, striking him on the side of the
head. Thomas got the axe and forced
his brother to write a note telling his
mother that he was going to England
and that he would not see her before
he left. Thomas then struck Albert
on top of the head with the dull side
of the axe, knocking him out. He
struck him again after he had fallen
and asked Hosea, who had been stand
ing nearby, what to do with the body.
Hosea told him that it was their fight
and that he did not want to be mixed
up in it. Thomas dragged the body
forward and stuck the axe handle
down the breeches leg and dumped the
body into the bay.
Albert and Thomas had been having
trouble over a woman and Albert had
been SUCCESSFUL in the love affair, ac-
cording 10 Hosea. The woman had
caused Jealous squabbles before be-
tween the two men and the quarrel
started Tuesday was about her
Hosea then came back to the coun-
ty building and slipped down the coal
chute and started about his work
keeping up the fires. He had not been
missed during his absence, as he had
built a good fire before he left, he
said.
Thomas was arrested late yesterday

DOCTORS FIND
REMEDY FOR
COLDS And FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausealess
Calomel Tablets, Cut Short
Colds and May Prevent Flu
by Keeping Liver Active

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience. during the epidemic OF influ-
enza, that one of the most important
factors in the prevention of FLU and
pneumonia is to keep the liver active
so that the digestive organs may be in
perfect working order and the system
thereby enabled to throw off colds,
check sore threats. and resist serious
complications. For this purpose they
have found that the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, are far
more effective even than the old style
calomel, which was formerly the uni
versal favorite, as Calotabs do not
weaken the patient. nor interfere with
the appetite and digestion.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Calotk b
at bed time with a swallow OF water
that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor the
slightest interference with your diet.
pleasure, or work. Next morning YOU
wake up feeling fine. your liver is aS-
tive and your appetite is keen for a
good breakfast.
For your protection Calotabs are sold
only in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. All druggists recon-
mend and guarantee Calotabs. Your
money back IL you are not delighted
with them.-Adv.
