NEW CLUES FOUND
IN THE REAGAN CASE

CONYERS, Ga, Oct. 10.-Clues
which may enable the coroner's jury
to fix responsibility for the death of
Charles E. Reagan, widelyknown
banker and farmer, who disappeared
mysteriously Thursday afternoon, and
whose body was subsequently recov-
cred from the Yellow river, were de-
veloped here Saturday by a squad
Of detectives who have been at work
on the case since Friday morning.
Joshua Presley, a negro tenant
Of Mr.. Reagan's, was arrested Sun
day and is held at Conyers.
Out of the mass of new evidence
uncovered by the detectives may
come several more arrests before
Monday, according to officials con-
nected with the investigation. The
county Jail will be held without bond
for the present, although no charges
have yet been preferred against
them, officials announced.
After conference Of officials late
Saturday it was decided to recon-
FSAAO IliS wi OllCA jul az u " N1OSN
Tuesday morning. J. H. McCalla,
prominent young attorney associa ted
with the state in the investigation,
said he was confident the hearing
would be completed Tuesday and
that a verdict naming defendants
would be reached on the strength of
the evidence now said to be in pos
session of the detectives.
TUESDAYS hearing, like Fridays,
will be held behind locked doors. So
licitor General A. M. Brand, who or
dered secret hearings held, will
again be in full charge of the in
vestigation.
Mr.. McCalla said tonight he I'M
derstood the suspects in the case
have been narrowed down to a very
small number. He denied published
report that murder warrant had
been issued for Joshua Pressly, negro
tenant who was said to have ridden
with the slain banker to his farm
Thursday evening".
Such report is ridiculous" he
said. eff our investigation had
ready to take out warrant charging
murder, there would be no need of
further sessions by the coroner's
jury. The truth is that no warrants
have yet been issued, and none will
be issued until we get more definite
information.
Mr.. McCalla said the theory that
"moonshiners" recently ordered off
the Reagan farm might have entered
a conspiracy to slay the banker had
been closely followed by the detec-
tives at work on the case. Conyers
citizens said Mr.. Reagan was a
staunch church worker and prohibit
zionist, and that he had reported
more than half a dozen Illicit dis
tilleries during the last two or three
months

BIPARTISAN HELP
ON TAX Amendment
SOUGHT IN SENATE

NA"rrFNCTON. Oct. 10-A move,
ment looking to bipartisan support
for the amendments to the tax re-
vision bill agreed upon by Republican
leaders, was put under way Saturday
in the senate. Senator Lenroot, Of
wisconsin, a leader among the sena-
tors from western states who Insist
ed on the compromise program, held
several conferences with Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, the
Democratic leader in the lax fight,
but apparently a final agreement was
not reached.
A plan discussed was that Of hav-
ing the revised amendments reported
out by unanimous vote of the senate
finance committee. Republicans ana
Democrats, and supported on the
floor by leaders on both sides. The
Democrats are represented as look
ing with favor on most of the amend
ments, but they are not satisfied
with regard to the proposed taxes on
corporations, insisting that revenue
in excess of that proposed be obtain
ed from that source. Republican
leaders were understood to have
agreed today on plan under which
corporations having incomes in excess
Of $3.50 would not receive the bene-
fit of the $4,000 exemption now al
lowed all corporations. It is esti-
mated that this would yield an addi-
tional $30,000,000 in revenue. the
Democrats have proposed repeal or
the exemption in the case of all cor
porations.
Senators from eastern states laid
plans today for their fight against
the program as outlined by the lead
the floor on the original proposal
for a 81 per cent maximum income
surtax rate, for the existing maxi
mum estate tax rate and for repeal
for the capital stock tax on corpora
tions.
Leaders expressed little concern
over this opposition and were OF the
be passed by the week after next.
The revisions as agreed upon in mid
week were discussed today by major
itv members Of the finance commit
tee. but decisions on them were de-
ferred until Monday. The income
surtaX proposal was taken up IN some
detail and there were reports that
some dissenting opinions had been
expressed in the committee.
