"Second Moses" Poses As
Insane AS Sentence Of
Death Is Pronounced.

Grover Cleveland Redding self
styled Prince OF Abyssinia and his first
lieutenant, Oscar McGavick, must pay
the extreme penalty of death for their
murder OF Robert L. Rose, white,
Great Lakes sailor, who was shot and
killed at 35th St. and Indiana Ave. on
June 20 of last year.
Both men were sentenced Tuesday
to hang on April p.
The sentence was imposed by Judge
kersten i'll Criminal Court, who over
ruled a motion for new trial in both
cases.
In overruling the motion Judge Ker-
sten said:
This was one of the most brutal
and cold-blooded murders in the city's
history. 1t was particularly heinous

Murder Farm
Murder Farm Gives Up Two Bodies.
The attention OF the outside world
was attracted to conditions in Georgia
when the bodies OF two men, chained
together washed ashore near Coving-
ton two weeks ago. Since then nine
more bodies have been found, making
total OF eleven bodies found so Jar
The last two bodies were found Sun
day. Like the first, the bodies were
weighted down with stones and
chained together.
Made to Dig Own Graves.
The coroner's jury is now investi-
eating the charge that in at least two
cases, men were compelled to dig their
own graves.
The men, it was said, all were labor
ers on the Williams plantation, and
were slain to prevent the possibility OF
their "squealing' over conditions on
the plantation said to closely approach
slavery.
The killings, all within the last sixty
days, it was said in Manning's alleged
confession, were carried out with the
utmost brutality. Four of the men,
Manning is declared to have confessed,
were knocked in the head with an AK,
one was shot to death, while the others
were taken to the Yellow River,
chained and weighted with stones and
drowned like rats"
According to Manning, his part in
the crime was to aid his employer.

beyond the confines OF their Jail home.
The least complaint on their part re-
suited in their being knocked in the
head like hogs.
Williams Denies All.
John Williams, the white planter,
responsible for the murders, is now
being held in the county jail here, de-
nies any knowledge OF the murders.

CHOIR SINGERS
ROMANCE ENDS
IN SAD TRAGEDY

A romance which had its inception
in the church choir at St. Johns
Church, 34th St. and Wabash Ave,
came to a tragic termination when
Almi Maeola, age 80, $3.50 Wabash
Ave, died in the County Hospital on
March q.
Cut by Jealous Husband.
Maeola was cut March l9, by Ro-
man Holmes, 1919 La Sale St. The
cutting occurred when Holmes discov-
cred Maeola and Mrs. Luvenia Holmes
walking home together from the Insti-
tutional Church, 39th and Dearborn
SITS. Holmes attacked Maeola with a
pocketknife, almost disemboweling
him, it is said. Holding himself to-
gether with his hands, Maeola rushed
to the nearest doctor for medical aid.
The affair between Maeola and Mrs.
Holmes is said to have begun when
they were both choir members in the
St. John Church. Their friendship
continued even after they began at
tending the Institutional Church.
The inquest was ordered for
Wednesday afternoon at the 4Sth St
station.

There Is no intention to assail the
principle OF ethics so sacred to every

the development OF system OF ethics.
Coniucius spent lifetime twenty
five hundred years ago developing a
system OF ethics. but it is not record
ed that he relieved a single sore

The same system OF ethics which
condemned DR.. Smiths articles and
yet condones fragrant misconduct on
the part OF 90 per cent of the rest OF
the profession is worse than no ethics
at all, and that would be a calamity,
indeed.

MORROW SCORES
MOB GRAND JURY

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 3d.
Charging that the special grand jury
at Versailles had 'whitewashed' every
body but had no word of condemna-
ton for the mob" Gov. Edwin P.
Morrow issued statement tonight de-
nouncing the brief investigation of the
jury, which was impaneled Saturday
morning and dismissed that afternoon
1t was a case OF see nothing and
do nothing" he said. 1T started
out with the jailer knowing nothing
about the mob, and the jailer and the
other officers doing nothing, and
wound up with the grand jury finding
out nothing.
If gang had gone into Versailles
and robbed bank they would have
formed posse and gone after them;
and the grand jury would have re-
mained in session until it had accom-
plished something.
The grand jury convened at 9
o'clock and adjourned at 3 o'clock and
'whitewashed' everybody, but had no
word of condemnation for the mob.
Mob violence will persist in Ken
tucky until local authorities take their
duties seriously or public opinion COM
pels them to.
ut is absurd to think that grand
jury could make a real investigation
of such an affair as that in five hours
time"
