 with the killing of Ed Burgess,
 young man of Blountsville, in July, 1898.

 authorities, James Die was running small show at Blountsville, II
 miles north of Oneonta. A crowd
 of youngsters, the officers said, threw rocks at Dies tent show. Die
 ran out, gun in hand. it is further alleged and fired into the crowd. Burgess fell mortally wounded. The snowman, then a young man l himself, was stranger in the coun- ty but many persons told officers
 they would recognize him and at least three persons, representing the authorities, have identified Gay as Die, it was announced at the sher- iff's office.
 Officers are not quite clear as to
 the failure of authorities to appre-
 hend Die at the time of the killing.
