NEW BOMB THREATS

City Officials Warned to STOP
Drive Against Illicit
Liquor Traffic.

COLUMBUS, Ga. May 2a.-In the face
of rewards totaling s12.5o0 for the cap
ture of those responsible for the assault
on City Manager Hinlde and the bomb
ing OF the home of Mayor Dimon last
week, threatening letters were received
to-day by J. M. Huling, chief of the
Muscogee county police, and by Deputy
Sheriff c. c. Layfield. Both letters were
based on the activities OF the officers In
enforcing prohibition laws.
The letter to Chief Huling warned
him to leave Columbus at once or suf-
fer the destruction of his home by bomb.
1t was not signed and was sent through
J. B. Key, chairman or the County
Board of Commissioners.
The letter to the Deputy Sheriff re-
ferred to his breaking up of big illicit
distillery about eighteen miles from here
last Friday morning while the still was
filled with 800 gallons OF mash ready
to run, and warned him that he had
'.probably cut one still too many
Both officers declared they would re-
double their efforts to catch the guilty
persons. There is speculation as to
whether the guilt lies with the violators
of the prohibition laws or with former
taxicab drivers who were refused IL
ceLses.
Criticism has been directed at the Po-
lice Department because no arrests have
been made. despite the fact that the
outbreaks began a month ago when City
Manager Hinkle was attacked by three
men and severely beaten.
The announcement of O. reward oi
1000 for the arrest OF the assailants
was followed next day by blackhand let

Mr. Hinkle returned to his former
home in Altoona, Pa, last Friday. and
his office was declared vacant by the
Commissioners Saturday. Mr.. Hfnkle
attributed his departure to the illness OF
his wife and dissatisfaction with Co
operation of the commission. Mayor
Dmon is acting city manager.
Business firms OF the city and civic
organizations have offered rewards In
addition to the $1,000 offered by the
City Commissioners and $4,000 offered
by the County Commissioners. The Ku

capture OF the blaclkhand letter writers
in view OF the fact that 'K. K. K" was
signed to some Of the letters.
