SpectA Ot6pdtch TO The Tribune
ATLANTA, Ca, April f4.-To-day' rs
developments made it certain that the
probe of peonage conditions in Georgia
has only begun. Federal agents, who
have taken hand in the case, now
charge that the murders on the John
S. Williams murder farm" began as
far back as 1910, and cite the killing
OF three negroes to support their
claims. They produce witnesses to
prove that two of the negroes-one q
woman-were killed because they were
too old to work and would be an ex-
pense to the owner, Williams, who is
under sentence of life Imprisonment.
They say that the known death lis:
stands at eighteen, and that the toll
may reach twenty Or more.
Farm Hands Aid Hunt
The agents say this new evidence has
been furnished them by several farm
hands employed by Williams and his
sons. Some of them narrowly escaped
death themselves, and all of them told
their stories reluctantly. Names of The
witnesses were withheld.
AiecK Dyer, negro lab0rer. was
knocked on the head with an ak and
instantly killed while he worked in the
field on. the Williams plantation and
Nick and Mamie Walker. aged negroes,
were shot to death after they had
lived on the death farm for twenty
years, the Secret Service agents were
told. These killings were said by the
onetime farm hands to have occurred
in 1910 and 1911.
Dyer was killed because he ran
away twice, but the news was passed
around that old Nick and his wife were
knocked off because they were too old
to do any more work. one person as
serted.
Asked by whom these negroes were
put to death, the negroes said that
they were killed by negro "trusties" at
the command OF Williams.
Forty negroes were employed on the
Williams plantation in 1910, the wit
ness declared. Clyde Manning. who re-
vealed the murders to the authorities,
was then a common laborer," they
said, and was kept under guard, just as
the other negroes, but was promoted to
the position Of q farm boss several
years later.
Mass of New Evidence
John S. Williams personally "bossed"
the negroes during those days, the
negroes said, assisted by his three sons,
who were youths in knee pants.

The amount of alimony, which was
said to be "a large sum- was fixed out
of court. This is to be used largely
for the support of their two children,
William, twenty-four, and Geraldine,
nineteen.
1T is a bad breach of confidence on
the part of some one who is supposed
to be my friend that there has been
any discussion concerning my divorce y
said Mrs. Graham at her home here to-
day. when l returned home last
January there was general agreement
that it would not be discussed"
Mrs. Graham recently announced
the breaking of an engagement of her
daughter to Whitney Warren jr., of
New York. The Prince oe Wales called
the daughter the most beautiful girl
in the United States. Mr.. Graham lives
