Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 21.-Ware was
indicted by grand jury this week. He
gave as his reason the fact that he
had an understanding with certain
families to bury their deceased in eX-

open the graves and transfer the
bodies to less expensive caskets.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 23.-The Fulton
county grand jury Tuesday morning Is
to investigate the alleged wholesale
robbery of graves in South View
Cemetery by S. f. Ware, proprietor Oh
the Atlanta Undertaking Company,
and Claude Maddox and Thurman
Jones, all colored, whom he is alleged
to have employed to disinter the
bodies of dead and turn the coffins

over to his company for resale.
A subpoena has been issued, direct
ing Attorney Roy S. brennan to pro-
records and books of the undertaking
company which, according to officers
investigating the case, he seized and
carried off, blocking their efforts to
trace several alleged stolen caskets.
The graves of many dead colored
people were opened Monday under tie
supervision of Lieutenant Jordan,
white, of the county police. Several
were found to contain dead bodies
that had been shifted from the coffins
into the pine boxes that originally con-
tanned the coffins.
In one instance the officers found
that the body of Solomon Jackson,
who was buried October 1, 1922, was
enclosed in a casket originally sold to
natives of Nancy Joyce and in which
she was buried September 8, 1922, ac-
cording to the officers.
This robbery was uncovered in the
confession of Thurman Jones, who
claims that Jones identified the cOf-
fins which contained Jacksons' body
as the one he had dug up and re-
moved from the grave of the Boyce
woman.
Jones' confession further led to the
finding of the bodies of Laura Perry
and Anna Battle in pine boxes in the
graves without caskets. The Perry
woman was buried December 8, 1872,

graves have been robbed by him and
have been located by the officers, and
they believe the sixth will be found
when the Atlanta Undertaking Com
pany's records are surrendered to
them.
A large crowd of colored people
viewed the disinterment of bodies in
the South View Cemetery Monday by
the officers. Loud sobbing could be
heard as the dead bodies were UNI

nothing but pine boxes.

Anything that seems to liven the
interest and add to the attraction of
our school is provided by the teach
ers. So it seems when the morning
comes for Rev. Rogers to speak to us
on current topics in the religious
work. The students are very interest
ed in this new topic as it is seldom
discussed in public gatherings except
those connected intimately with the
church.

FIRE TUESDAY
MORNING BURNS
JOHNSON BARNS

At the early hour of about five
o'clock last Tuesday morning, fire
broke out in the feed barn of the
F. N. johnson dairy farm in the north
part of Julesburg, and before the
flames, which spread rapidly, could be
gotten under control, the feed barn
was totally destroyed and another
barn adjoining was badly damaged.
The origin of the fire was caused
from lantern, which Mr.. johnson
upset while attempting to hang it up
on a nail, in order to have light while
going about his usual early morning
work. Mr.. johnson had just shortly
before gone to the barn with the Ian
tern. When the lantern fell to the
floor Mr.. Johnson vainly attempted
to smother the spreading flames, but
he soon saw that his efforts were
futile. The fire alarm was turned in,
and the firemen turned out practical
ly 100 per cent to the scene Of the
confederation. which was roaring
mass Of flames by this time. The
fire department experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in getting the flames
under control in the barn adjoining
where the fire had spread, but this
was finally done, and the shell of this
structure was left standing when the
flames were extinguished.
It is estimated that loss caused BY
the fire is in the neighborhood Of
100000 including the barns and the
contents. Fortunately the loss is
practically covered by insurance: The
livestock belonging to Mr.. johnson
were not in the barn at the time OF
the fire, they being in lot adjoining,
and no loss was incurred in this re-
spect.
During the fire Tuesday morning
sparks from the conflagration fell
several blocks away, but fortunately
no additional fire was started from
this menace, but several property
owners were on the job guarding
their buildings.
