they have taken into custody the man
of mystery that mas spread so much
terror in Birmingham and vicinity
Every effort to connect Glover with
the "a ak murders that have occurred
here during the past VITO years is be-
ing made. Several victims who fortu-

him as the man who hit Mrs Sparks
over the head as they were crossing u
vacant lot Sunday afternoon. She is
recovering from her wounds.
The finding of bloody hatchet ana

nal record add weight to the belief III
the police officials that they have ar.
rested the right man this time 1t is
also pointed out that while Glover was
In prison on another charge short
time ago there were no ak murders in

The police declare that so many
fruitless arrests Of Negroes have been
made in the past that there are many
who are skeptical of Glover's connec.
