fraternal circles especially the Loyal
Order of Moose. For time the order
had flourished but later seemingly lost
it's interest and it's members dwindled TO
about 700. At this time Mr.. Davis TOOK
hand and undertook the direction Oh
it's affairs. He was so successful that
he was made director general OF the
Moose, the ranking officer in the organ
ization, a position he still holds. Under
his regime the order has grown by leaps
and bounds and now numbers It's mem
bership in the thousands with increas-
ing numbers and interest in every sec
ton of the coutry, and to the untiring
efforts OF Mr. Davis, this condition is
largely responsible.
Mr. Davis was instrumental in the
founding of "Mooseh cart" located at
Mooseheart, ILL.,. a beautiful place on the
Fox river, covering hundreds of acres,
where the orphans and INDECENT members
OF the Moose order are housed and cared
for. 1t is one of the greatest institu-
lions of it's kind in the world, according
to the reports of disinterested visitors,
including DR.. George r. Stuart and DR..
T j. NJ Broadly of this city. who recently
visited Mooseheart and inspected the
operation of the institution. They made
glowing reports of the findings
The wonderful success of Mooseheart
in Illinois lead Mr.. Davis to believe that
similar institution in the south would
be 4 good thing, and to that end the
movement was started to build south
ern "Mooseheart."
SOUTHERN, MOOSEHEART
A number of southern cities, including
Birmingham, realizing the Importance
and benefit of such an institution. have
| made efforts to secure its location in
| their respective cities, and recently Mr..
Davis and other high officials of the
Moose made tour OF the south inspect
ing the proposed sites and locations.
| He was due to arrive in Birmingham
| last November with the delegation, but
was called to Washington by President
elect Harding and following his visit to
| Washington it was stated that he had
| been offered a position in President
Harding's cabinet, which later develop
ments proved true.
| During the years since Mr.. Davis left
the Birmingham rolling MILL by frugal
ity, judicious investments and genera

said to be a millionaire, and while today

gun shells around his waist. Having
no room for the extra shells in his
gun, he gave them to Runyan in re-
turn for directing him to the train.
IDENTIFIED NEGRO
Runyan produced the shells, which
were of the sameb gauge which had
killed Bourgeois and Murphree. Run
yam also identified the negro as the
one who had asked him for the ride
and had given him the shells.
Much of the credit 70 rthe capture is
given Chief of Police Taylor of Leeds,
who has been working steadily upon
the case since the morning after the
bodies were discovered.
The double murder has shocked the
entire state, and the authorities of
practically every city near Birming-
ham have offered aid during the past
Two days.
MOONHINERS THEORY
1t was thought at first the crime had
been committed by moonshiners, and
the two victims had accidently stun
bled upon. still in the woods and had
been killed, because the moonshiners
were afraid of discovery
This clue was dropped later by the
officers when word was received that
a Masonic ring belonging to the MUIR
dered Confederate veteran had beer
found in railroad yard on the out
skirts of Chattanooga. Chief Taylor
when he heard this, went to Chatta.

The negro was captured at Chatta-
nooga early yesterday morning by j.
e. Taylor, deputy sheriff, and chief OF
police at Leeds, after he had hung to
the trail for more than "a hours.
When placed behind the bars last
night, the negro was shaking with
fear. All during the ride from Chat
tanooga. he kept begging the officers
not to let the crowd lynch him when
they got to Birmingham.
When the negro was arrested at
Chattanooga, a Waltham watch
and chain were found on HIS peg
son. The watch was identified
upon arrival of the officers here
with the negro. The numbers in
the works of the watch corre-
sponded with those already given.
Several neighbors of the murdered
man testified before the watch
was opened that the dead mans
initials were scratched in the back
of it. The initials were found
when The watch was opened.
DENIED THE KILLING
When confronted with the evidence,
the negro, trembling with fear, would
only deny he had anything to do with
the killing, and asked the officers to
lock him in a cell SO that he would
not be lynched.
Feeling ran high at Leeds and the
surrounding country yesterday and
last night. Officers here were afraid
that the angered residents might at
tempt violence. They gave out the
Information that the negro would be
brought to Birmingham on the train

ANOTHER LINK IN CHAIN
| Another link in the chain of evil
dence which the officers are slow
ly welding together is the testi-
mony of Dewey Runyan of Leeds.
Runyan stated mt the jail last
night that, on the morning of the
day the double murder was COM
mitted, a negro walked up to him
and asked him for ride. Runyan
operates a motor tram between
two mines near Henry Ellen, and
/ told the negro he had no room for

have to catch a train.
Runyan further stated that he toll
