that his brother had met foul play
and was put away on that historical
hill that marked the close Of the Civil
war around the city Of Vieksburg.
A negro who was aiding the seach-
ing party Saturday found a human
knee protruding from the ground and
called the white folks. County Attor-
ney O'Neil began to pull away the
dirt and found DR.. D. S. Alverson's
body in crumpled position, indicat-
ing he had been dragged, placed in
a ravine and covered with dirt. but
deep enough to keep the heavy rains
that followed from washing the dirt
away from the knee. His finger
rings and watch were still on the
body.
The coroner's jury finished the in
vestigation at late hour Saturday
evening and the autopsy showed that
DIR. Alverson had been shot five times
by a .38 caliber pistol, instead of
twice, as first indicated, and that he
had been struck heavy blow in the
back Of his head, any of which
wounds would have preoved fatal.
The deceased physician was very
popular, having been born and raised
in this county, II miles south Of
Vicksburg, and had a wide circle Of
friends. This fact caused Sheriff
Shannon to remove his prisoner to Q
place of safety, and later, lat The
instructions of Gov. Bilbo, called on

DEVELOPMENTS IN
ALVERSON MURDER

Vicksburg. Miss, Jan. 12.-More
arrests are expected hourly in con-
nection with the murder Of Dr. d. S.
Alverson, whose bullet-ridden body
was found Saturday partly buried in
hole near the north observation tow
er in the Vicksburg national cemetery.
Jesse Watts, grocer, with whom DR..
Alverson is said to have left home
when he disappeared last Monday, is
in Jail at Jackson, Miss, for safe
keeping, as mob violence was thret-
ened against him.
Beside wounds from a .3S calibre
revolver there was a wound on the
back of the skull, inflicted, it is said,
by a Ford wheel puller, which was
near the scene Of the killing.
Reuben Winbush, negro employee of
Jesse Watts, is said to have confessed,
but what he revealed Sheriff b. G.
Shannon would not divulge. The sher-
it, however, indicated Monday that
more persons had been involved by
the negro and that more arrests
might follow.
Watts is said to have made threats
against DR.. Alverson following an OPP
Grafton said to have been performed
on Watts wife, and this is taken as
the motive for the crime.
The prominence Of DR.. Alverson, his
disappearance and the brutality ol
the murder has aroused people of this
vicinity to a high pitch of excitement
4 When Sheriff Shannon was asked
Monday if the negro, Winbush, had
confessed, he would not deny the re-
port, but said: "He knows all about
it. | talked to him, that is all" The
sheriff also indicated that Winbusf
had not been taken from the Warren
county Jail when he stated; "He il
still under my care and is safe. The
soldier boys will protect my prisoner.
