Mysterious automobile seen by
by campers near place where
HigeI met his death-man left
auto and walked in direction of
HigeI who seemed to desire to
avoid meeting him.

Bradentown, Jan. 11.-New evil
dence has been discovered in the Hi
gel murder case which throws a de-
cided doubt upon the guilt of Rube
Allyn, athe eccentric newspaper man
now in Jail charged with the crime.
Campers near the scene of the
crime report that an automobile came
UP the main road about $40 Friday
morning. A man descended from the
car and walked to meet Higel, who
was in plain view of the campers
tent. Higel did not seem anxious to
meet the man He walked away into
a patch of high weeds, and the man
see the two meet, as the woods hid
them, and as it was breakfast time
they went into their tent. When thu
came out after breakfast, the car had
disappeared.
Their identification of Higel is not
positive, although they were but 200
feet from him. However, the man
they saw was dressed in Khaki, as
was Higel when found, and he was
carrying something in his hands,
which is proved to have been the case
with Higel; and his general appear
ance was that of the murdered man.
Allyn has not made any statement
yet. He takes the position that his
case is in the hands of his attorneys,
and there is nothing for him to say.
Public sentiment is divided. Many
who believed him guilty at first are
now in hopes his innocence will be
established. He is cheerful and conf
dent, his bearing, and has devoted
his time while in Jail to improving the
condition of his fellow prisoners.

OF the lands in question is owned by

them that local citizens cannot afford
to buy and fence them to grow cattle,

cattle to have more territory to range

in and near Lakeland, passed away at
New York, and was buried without
an opportunity for his many friends
