35 years and the outolok is very
gloomy from this standpoint, but on
the other hand, the corn crop with few
exceptions is good, in fact, the best

r. T. Flowers Buried Here Yesterday.

The remains of Roland T. Flowers,
age 80, son Of the late Mrs. Ollie
Flowers, was brought here from Pitts
burg, Pa, for interment, which took
place at the Williamsburg cemetery
at II o'clock yesterday.
Young Flowers was raised in this
community and made his home here
with his mother until they moved
away some six or seven years ago.
He was a structural steel worker and
for some years had been employed
around Pittsburg, where he met his
death on the 10th Of this month by
coming in contact with live electric
wire while attempting to repair a
broken gas pipe running across the
Allegheny river at Pittsburg. When
he came in contact with the electric
wire he was thrown in the river and
his body sank Immediately, but was
soon recovered. His body was buried
at Pittsburg and later exhumed and
brought to this place, where it was
placed beside that of his mother, who
was buried here about two mnoths ago.
The young man is survived by his
wife and one child, also three brothers
and one sister, namely: R. H. and B.
J. Flowers. Cheraw; G. R. Flowers,
Pittsburg, and Mrs. NJ. D. Tindal of

chance of their harming themselves
in any way. A death watch is no more
stricter. Both men are reported to be
worried over their plight and they
are said to be very nervous, realizing
that their condition is desperate.
It is reported that both men talk
freely and readily of the crime with
which they are charged. It is said
that they say that Kirby persuaded
them to join him in the theft OF a
car and that it was in the carrying out
of this pact that Brazell was killed
near Leesville.
Gappins and Fox, it is reported,
charge that Kirby, on the lonely coun-
try road found an excuse for stopping
the car driven by Brazell and that
Brazell was forcibly dragged to the
ground. Kirby is said to have choked
the chauffeur and Fox to have struck
him repeatedly with a black jack
while Gappins held him. They are
quoted as saying that Brazen begged
for his life and said that if they re-
leased him he would not tell. Fox is
said to admit that he told Brazell
not to worry, as he would make sure
that Brazel never told. After the
black jack was worn out, it is said,
Fox stabbed Brazcll in a brutal man
ner. Brazelrs body was thrown into
a clump of bushes and Gappins be-
came chauffeur to the party.

according to persons known to have
conversed with them since their re-
turn.
Sheriff Plunkett apparently was
successful in eluding all members OF
the Columbia party, despite the fact
that numbers of Columbia men had
been in the Georgia city since early
Wednesday afternoon, awaiting the
arrival of darkness and of enforce
ments. The sheriff ~ leaving the
Jail with his prisoners shortly after
10 o'clock was pursued by car which
had been parked block from the jail
all afternoon. This automobile is
said to have returned to Columbia
its driver reporting that, ignorant OF
the Georgia roads, he had lost the
Augusta officers and the two prison
ers shortly after leaving Augusta
Plans had been made, it was said, had
the raid on the Augusta Jail proved
successful to bring the two men back
to the spot about three miles from
Leesville, where the mutlitated body
of the young transfer driver was
found, and there kill him.
When it was learned that the two
men had been placed in the Savan-
nah Jail to be later moved elsewhere
since the Savannah prison was al
ready crowded beyond capacity, cars
are said to have been dispatched to
Savannah to await developments
there, following the sheriff should
he have made dash for another Jail.
Sheriff Alex Heise has had a long
conference with the mother of Jesse
Gappins, one of the two men now held
i'll Georgia, Mrs. Gappins advancing
the theory that S. J.. Kirby, whose
confession led to the arrest Of the
three men, was the moving spirit be-
hind the plot to kill young Brazell
and take the car. Kirby visited her
home to hold long conference with
Jesse Gappins Sunday afternoon, Mrs
Gappins said, the two men talking
in secret for nearly two or three
hours. Her son, after Kirby left the
house, Mrs. Gappins told the sheriff.
told her that he was going to leave
on a trip that night and that ne
would write her in about two weeks
and advising her in the meanwhile
not to be worried. 1t was at this con-
ference, Mrs. Gappins believes, that
the murder-robbery plot was engl-
neered and her son involved in the
scheme.
Kirby has particularly unsavory
reputation among neighbors and
county officers, and Sheriff Heise
stated that it was his belief that when
the entire truth was revealed that it
would be found that Kirby was con-
siderably more involved in the crime
than was admitted in his confession.
Kirby, in making his statement to the
Augusta sheriff, told story Of how
he had been forced by Fox and Gap
pins to secure the car, thinking that
it was to be used to take the three
men to "get some girls" near Lexing-
ton, Kirby engaged Brazell's car ne
said, under ccmpulsion and then drove
to the Seaboard depot and picked up
the other two men.
This, officers think, is a weak link
in his statement, absolving himself
of blame of the killing, it being
pointed out that there was nothing
to have prevented hi mfrom making
his escape from Gappins and Fox
at the time. Kirby also had an oppor-
tunity, it is thought, to leave the
car while the two men carried the
hoJ,- into tba woods as relateA in his
