Waterman Is Found
With Crushed Skull;
Ak Slayer Suspected

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. l.
w. II. Scale, II, night Waterman at
the Hill Grocery company's ware
house here, was found dead this
morning, the Goth victim of Birming-
hams long series of ak crimes.
His head had been beanten in with
a blunt instrument-eithe the blunt
side of an ak or some similar
weapon.
A time clock which he carried had
not been punched. He went to work
at $50 and should have started
punching the clock half an hour
later.
The murder was very similar to
that OF j. r. Smith. Waterman for
the Adamson Motor company, who
was killed on the night Of May 81.
AS in the Smith case, robbery ap
parently was the motive for last
nights crime. The aged man s
pockets had been ransacked and his
pistol stolen.
Scales death brought the total OF
the ak crimes to rs dead and q Sc.
riOusly wounded.
