 SENSATIONAL CASE

The additional ones were found after Clyde Manning, another negro farm hand, had confessed to compHcity in the killings and directed officers to spots where the eight others had been hidden. Five of these men were found buried on the Williams plan tadon; the others were taken from the Yellow river and Alcoyy river in Jasper county.
 Even if Williams should escape in this county other indictments are ex- pected to be returned against him in Jasper county. One hundred venire- men, especially summoned for this case, were on hand when Judge Hut cheson of the Stone Mountain circuit Df the Georgia Superior court mount ed the bench.

SUGGEST CHAMBER
 GET VALIDATING ACT

(Continued From Page One) may be no end to the affair until pings are uncovered which carry unpleasant penalties
 Edmund s. Wolfe, president of the First National Bank and the Bridgeport Housing Company, this morning expressed surprise that a municipal investigation was ord cred into the concern. He emphatically denied the int. nation that the com pany was indebted to the city for taxes, and charged that the United s ates government was solely respon- sible.
 'I can't understand the action of
 council in ordering such an in
 stigation, unless it was through
 rr ioporance,' he said.
 'fThe Bridgeport Housing company has paid every cent it was responsi- ble for. The property was not list ed in our name until May, 1920, and I don't see how we can be charged with taxes due in years previous to that time.
 The taxes in question are on the housing projects constructed during the war by the United States Housing g Corporation. The taxable value of the property for the three years, 1918, 1919 and 1920, for which taxes were not paid is estimated by Tax Com missioner Connor at s5,06S, TOT.

TO MAKE DILIGENT INOUIRY ON SOLDIERS

 ''I should like you to make diligent inquiry of department heads or those associated with them. in an effort to find out just where the gov ernment agencies are in any way lacking in authority, neglectful or failing to carry out what is the un- questioned intent of congress in it's enactment of laws and the making of appropriations. There need be no inquiry into the intent of the gov ernment because I think it is well understood that every agency desires to deal justly and generously with those of it's defenderes who were inn paired in the nations defense.
 ''I think it would be well while you are maling inquiry as to the failure you also make inquiry into the abuses which have developed and look care fully into the regulations adopted so that you may know their probable ef- feet in the future. It is well to real iZe that the American people want to prove the republics gratitude to these men.
 The regulations and policies adopt ed at this time are likely to be in eff feet for a full half century to come. In order to deal, justly with these men and carry out a permanent policy it is exceedingly important to start on a firm foundation.
 ''I nave asked Brig. General Saw yer to meet with your committee and make available to you such informa- tion as you maydesire which he has gathered as the representative of the executive in Investigating the rela- tions of the several departments of the government dealing with this problem. I do not imagine your committee will care to enter into a widely extended taking of testim ony but that you will be able to gather from departments heads and officials responsible for the service such in formation as you may require to pass judgment the program adopted and make recommendations as to our future course"
