Sincere Expression Of Gratitude to
Brookhaven People.

In letter to the editors of The
Leader, Mrs. McGrath. the bereaved
wife Of the lamented j. w. McGrath,
says:
Il am taking the earliest oppor-
tunity to write and ask you to please
tell Brookhaven how very deeply l
appreciate the love, the sweetness
and the kindness which inspired
those who attended the memorial
service for my husband last Satur-
day. shall never forget the conso-
lation given me so generously and
abundantly during these last sad
days. 1t is of the greatest help to
me to know that the love which Will
bore for the town whose welfare was
his dominant life's ambition. was re-
turned with equal generosity. From
the bottom Of my heart I wish to
thank those who share my grief in
his loss, and pray that in years to
come his son will prove that he in
turn possesses those same rare quail
tiles which his father so invariably
showed. And then as a mother /
feel assured that the love which
Brookhaven has felt for the father
will be given with equal generosity
to the son. i hope to come to Brook
haven and personally thank all those
who have done SO much during Wills
illness to help him and his family.
With kindest regards, believe me
very sincerely, /.
Lili McGrath.

WRECKED CAR ATTRACTS MUCH
ATTENTION TODAY.

The wrecked car, Nash, attracted
a great deal of attention here today
after it arrived under its own power
from Natchez. 1t was parked in
front Of Cassidy & Sumrall's place Of
business and presented about the
most dilapidated appearance that any
piece of automobile machinery could
be. imagined.
All the top, most of the running
boards, side door torn away, and a
mud -besprinkled body with three
wheels that had been replaced by
the local dealers before it left
Natchez gave passers-by at least
slight idea of what the occu-
pants Of the car had gone through
with when the smash came.
Most Of the onlookers, it is said,
stated that they would not have TAX
en- the chances in a smash-up, such
as the car went through, for any a
mount that could be offered them, ir-
respective Of how such an auto
breakup might have been arranged
for such a catastrophe as the car on
ly presented--one that accidentally
happened to those bent on the best
mission in the world-to better It
and to save mems and women's souls.

RRo0KHAVEN AUTO NAY HAVE
BEEN USED.

While today Mr.. Bolian and none
Of the officers will give any sug-
gestion that any clue has been se-
cured as to those who perpetrated
the yegg' act and got away with
such a large amount Of loot, 1t is
being commented on that 1t was very
possible that Mr.. Sam Abrams car
believed to have been stolen
on the night of the robbery
was used in carrying out the plans
of the burglars and safe-blowers.
Mr.. H. C. Mills believes that he
heard the Abrams car turn the A.
e. Moreton corner at high rate Of
speed about 1 a. M, just after he
had gotten to his own home after a
visit to the bedside of his father
in-law who is i'll, and Mr.. H. E.
Cushman has reported to Mr.. Abrams
that car going at top speed passed
one he was returning to town in on
the Old Brook road shortly before
midnight of the night of the robbery.
Mr.. Abrams knows that his
Buick had very little gasoline in it
when 1t was driven off and the fact
that gas station at Bogue Chitto
was broken open the same night
mphasizes the probability
that the Buick was supplied with
fuel there, as the men running it
undoubtedly were at least fair me-
chanics as was proven by their get
ting away with the Abrams car with
out a switch key.

THE CONDITION OF THOSE IN
JURED IN THE ACCIDENT.

Miss Hazel Barge, from telephone
inquiries to Natchez. this afternoon
sustained the most serious injuries
Of those occupying the Hamilton
car. Miss Barge was unconscious
for eighteen hours after the turn
over. Her tongue is now paralyzed.
although she can hear those who talk
to her, Miss Barge is still
unconscious at times She has had
hemorrhages from the brain, altho
her skull is not fractured, so physi-
clans assure those close to her side
and her relatives. Miss Barge
also sustained bad blow on the jaw.
which, of course contributed to her
present bad condition. Physicians
aver that she will eventually re-
cover.
Mr.. Chas. H. Hamilton suffered q.
broken collar bone, cut in the head
which necessitated three stitches and
had one rib broken, which undoubt-
edly caused the hemhorrages from
fthe lungs wrom which he suffered for
a time. Mr.. Hamilton has been par
TALLY unconscious most Of the time,
but this afternoon is at himself and
is expected to be removed to the
hospital in Brookhaven as soon as his
physical condition will permit. Ply
sicians state that his ultimate re-
covery Is sure, although external and
internal injuries may show results
which are not now apparent.
Miss Lillian Hamilton, 15-year-old
daughter of Mr.. Chas. Hamilton,
returned to Brookhaven this after
noon. She is now in bed, the trip
really being too much for her in her
condition. Miss Hamilton's head is
in a big bandage; she is cut in the
forehead and her knee is badly in
jured.
r. G. Eddins, the choir leader of
the Community Revival which has
been in progress for several weeks in
Brookhaven, who was driving the
car, is still unable to walk from in
juries received. One of his arms is
macerated to a great extent, almost
as if a big hammer had hit 1t in
places. 1t also appears from indica-
tions present. that his stomach and
kidneys have been severely injured,
probably having been crushed when
the steering fheel jammed in on him
as the car turned over. His internal
injuries are. Of course. yet unknown.
and only subsequent develop
ments will prove them. although
his symptoms are believed to be as
that Of the other patients-that he
will recover.
