outstanding feature Of interest in

WEBER AND HEILBRONER
The advance in Weber and He'll
bronze which was one Of the high
spots in today's market was due to
reports that an increase in the div
idend rate from 81 to $3.50 seemed
likely at the next meeting of the
board Of directors. The dividend

MURDERER IS
PRISON FARM
STRAW BOSS
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Williams was allowed to visit his
home and attend family barbecue.
An investigation was forced by
the prison commission but it was
explained by the superintendent
that the trip had been necessary to
point near to the Williams plan
tation to purchase clover that was
needed on the farm.
Is Given Free Hand.
The allegation is made that the
state farm practically is Williams
farm that he conducts himself
there exactly as he did when he
lived on his own Jasper county
plantation. Williams was tried and
convicted of murder in April of
last year. The jury recommended
mercy because he was convicted on
the evidence of a negro and he was
sentenced to life Imprisonment in
stead of to be hanged. At his trial
he was charged with the Staying of
only a single negro but the chief
witness against him, Clyde Man
ming. who admitted doing the actual
killing, told with most graphic de-
tail how seven of the eleven were
tied up, weights attached to them,
and then thrown from a bridge to
drown, three killed by being hit in
the head with an axe as hogs are
stunned, and one shot,.
The murders were to prevent
the negroes testifying before fed
eral agents about how they had
been held in peonage by Williams
and his sons.
Manning, like Williams, received
life sentence. In all of his tes-
timony he referred to the latter as
