Deny burden Made
Dying Statement
About Hail. DEATH

SOPERTON, Ga, June 23.-Denial
is made here that Roy burden, who
died at the county Jail early Sunday
morning, following an operation,
made any statement as to the guilt
or innocence of any of the parties
who are held in Jail here charged
with the raurder of Bill Hall, a farm
err, who died from unnatural causes
in" this county last September. Re-
ports to the effect that burden made
a dying statement generating all
death of Hall was an accident, is
unfounded, according to those who
attended him during his last hours.
Physicians who attended him stare
that he was not conscious long
enough at one time to make any
statement. He might have been con-
scious at slight intervals, but at no
time was he in condition to make a
statement.
burden, together with Dan Davis,
E. E. Coleman and Wiley Smith,
were held in jail here on a charge Of
murder growing out of the death Of
Bill Hall, a tenant on the farm of
Davis, who they claim was killed in
an accident last September when an
automobile in which they were rid
ing, ran off a bridge into a stream
of water.
Davis was tried at the January
term of court here and was found
guilty, receiving a life sentence. He
was recently granted a new trial on
the grounds of relationship of one
of the jurors to one of the proSecu-
tors in the case. His case will come
up for trial again at the August term
Of court.

WALKER MAY NOT Be.
TRIED, LAWYER SAYS

The possibility that the statute of
limitations would prevent the return
Of John D. Walker to Georgia In the
event legal proceedings were insti-
tuted against the erstwhile Georgia
banker who is said to have been To-
Gated in San Antonio. Texas. was dis
cussed over long distance telephone
Thursday by John C. Lewis. an at
torney of Sparta, Walkers former
home.
Mr.. Lewis represents several credi-
tors of Walker who filed civil suits
against him after he disappeared
from Sparta in 1917, leaving the
state simultaneously with the wife of
well-known Georgian and/going, 1t
was said, to the Orient.
Among these creditors is the Vir-
ginia Carolina Chemical company, to
whom Walker was in debt, accord
ing to it's suit. for some fertilizer he
had purchased. The company levied
on some stock in a warehouse COM
pany which Walker was said to have
owned. But another owner IN the
company claimed Walker had pre-
viously sold him this stock. The suit
is now pending in the city court at
Sparta.
Attorney Lewis says he has in
formation that Walker never sold
this stock and that Walker will make
an affidavit to this effect, in which
event, declares the attorney, the
the stock could be levied upon. At
torney Lewis therefore is planning
to send to Texas to get deposition
from Walker.
"As a matter Of fact" said the
attorney over long distance tele-
phone, walker has been made a
scape-goat He was not guilty of all
of the crimes of which he is accused.
1 am told that he has receipt in full
for moneys he is charged with en-
bezzling from the Methodist church
when he was lay leader in the
church and treasurer of the Preach
ers' Aid Fund of the North Georgia
conference. I believe Walker will
remain in San Antonio and will make
these af1idavits.
81 do not believe, however, that he
will return to Georgia. Nor do l
believe that he could be extradicted.
In my opinion, indictments returned
now would have no standing because
of the statute of limitations"
Mr.. Lewis indicated that develop
ments in the Walker case would &C.
cur within the next few weeks which
might implicate other Georgians.

Suggest Solution of
"Lost Ship . Mystery
By Occult Processes

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Sugges-
tions for solving the mystery of the
vanished ships are pouring in to-
day upon government officials here.
Professor Adolph Lippe telegraph
ed from New York that he was an
animal mesmerist and asked to be
allowed to try his powers on the
parrot found sitting solitary in the
riggings of the schooner Carroll A.
Deering. He thinks that he can
prod Polly's memory and get her to
relate the last wordS(of the crew.
This from Vera Verala, who says
she is a medium:
"A spirit visitant has revealed all
to me. The steamer Hewitt now
sails the seas commanded by the
spirit of Black Louis. For 200 years
: Black Louis has lowered off Cape
Hatteras near the spot the pirate
ship he commanded was sunk At
last he got his chance to again ride
the main under the jolly Roger The
crew OF the schooner Deering were
captured by Black Louis to reinforce
his own crew"
Other suggestions to the bureau
OF navigation is that a fatal whirl
pool exists off the Carolina shore
that the missing ships were over
whe1med by gigantic waterspouts
and in some ythe old sea serpent is
dragged into account for the mys-
sterieS
