Facing Reform School

PINE BLUFF, Ark, July 17.-R

newspapermen to feed.
Testimony now being prepared
for the Jefferson county grand
jury, WHICH will assemble July %,
already has been published to the
effect that Otis and his father
were known to quarrel frequently
and violently.
The elder Hawkins, according to
those who knew him as a vegetable
farmer, was a large man, somewhat
striking with his iron gray hair and
deep, heavy laugh. Stern, they say
he was, a scrupulous churchman,
and the father of four other chill
dren who left home at early ages.
When authorities found him, lying
shot to death in his shack under q
bloody quilt. they questioned Otis.

that Minerals head was held
