FOUND IN LAKE
Whether Suicide or Accident Is
Not Known
WAS FROM AUGUSTA
Former Liquor Merchant of Georgia
City Discovered by Officer at Daybreak
Floating on West bide of
the Colonial Fond, Charleston, S.
C., Nude and Dead.
The Charleston Post says Policeman
White found the nude body of
a white man at the west side of Colonial
Lake, near the flood gate, Tuesday
morning at daybreak, and investigation
showed that he was drowned.

side of the gate. The man was a total
stranger, but The Evening Post,
following up a clue found on his person,
verified the evidence that he was
Oscar Vlllinger , of 416 Houston
street, Augusta.
Undertaker Stuhr took charge of
the body at the instance of Mr. C.
11. Reaney, who Is said to be connected
with the dead man, and who
received a long distance message
from Augusta to have the body taken
care of.
Coroner O'Donell hurried to the
lake a few minutes after the call
cr.nje to him from the police station,
and he had the body removed from
the shallow water where it was lying
face downward and It was taken to
the Roper hospital to await identification.
There were no marks of violence
on tho body, which was quite nude.
The clothes of the deceased were discovered
on the concrete curbing near
the place where his body was found,
and the water all about was only
from two to four feet deep, indicating
that he must nave token a
plunge last night some time, perhaps
with the intention of cooling off.
or with intention of making an end
of himself.
Nothing was found in his clothes
but a recommendation written in
February, 1908, by a Mr. A. P.
Pndgett, of 1301 Broad street, Augusta.
au envelope that gave his
wife's adrress in Augusta, and bore
his name and general address. Charleston,
and a half written note, containing
the words: "Can't write
much. I am still nervous."
The envelope found with his name
on it in a woman's handwriting, was
covered with illegible writing and a
Rood deal of figuring. Words Ilk*1
"work." "beg," "sleep," "Monday,"
were made out.
There Is no doubt that the death
of the man came about by drowning,
but whether It was deliberate
or accident Is a hard matter to decide.
The stranger was evidently In
very humble circumstances, and apbut
failed to find It. It Is possible
but failed to find it It is posibb1
that he was overcome with weakness
from hunger, and when he fell into
or dived into the water for his cooling
plunge, he was unable to help
himself, even in a shallow depth.
The deceased was apparently between
forty and fifty years of age.
Comparatively few people saw the
body in the pond, as it was removed
as soon as possible to the morgue.
An early morning oarsman helped
to get the body out of the water,
and the police patrol wagon took it
over to the hospital.
Following up the clue given by th.?
enveiope, a telegram was sent to Augusta
by The Kvening Post, resulting
in a message to Charleston to Mr.
Reaney, a stenographer at the Burton
lumber mills. The first ideutific.ation
of the dead man came from
this message to Charleston. It is
understood that a widow and children
survive the victim of the drowning.

CAUGHT AT LAST
CONFESSES TO THE MURDER OF
ENGINEER HOLT.
Negro Arrested in Ohio Says He
Did tho Killing Because He Was

Because he was put off a Seaboard
Air Liue train on which he was stealing
a ride. Solomon Shepard. a negro.
according to his own confession
made at Durham, N. C.. Monday.
shot and killed Engineer Holt.
The crime was committed last December,
but the negro was arrested
only a few days ago in Columbus. I
Ohio, where his connection with the
case was first learned through his
protestations of Innocence of it. The
police had taken hitn in custody on
another ckurge.
In his confession Shepard snid he
was returning to Durham from Efland,
19 miles away, after a visit
to his sweetheart, when the killing
occurred. Me said he remained in
Durham until six weeks ago.
Shepard spent a whole day reading
his Bible recently and "getting
religion." and when Dr. N. M. Johnson
entered the jail to minister to
a sick prisoner he called him to the
door of his cell and laid bare the
facts in the mysterious murder.
Shepard so s that in the night of
the tragedy he was kicked off a
train by a brakeman and was in
search of the brakeman to kill him
when he found him, with several
other men, 011 the cab talking with
Engineer Holt. Crawling nearer the
engine he raised his gun and fired,
the shot striking the engineer.
He then walked up the track, and
seeing a light in the Green berg
house, fired at it "just to scare somebody."
It was this latter incident
that had much to do with the arrest
of Reuben Rari-ee, #110 had had
trouble with the (Jreennergs and who
is now in Jail charged with the murder
of Holt.
Shepard says that he was in Durham
at the time of Barber's arrest
and remained until about six weeks
ago. He denies that he had a white
accomplice in his crime.
On the strength of the negroe's
confession Barbee's attorneys have
asked for their client's release.

to the Superior Court on a charge
of committing a criminal assault on
Orrine Massey, aged 14, of Savannah.
(in. Both parties are white,
and the crime has shocked all Savannah.
The testimony brought out the fact
that DeCris, as he ia best known,
made a habit of going among the
poorer classes and offering to get
positions for the girls in the family,
'n this case he was on the way to
1 bogus canning factory to get the
voting girl a place to work. He
took her into a secluded place and
hen committed his dastardly deed.
DeCris claimed he was nowhere near
he place at the time, but a long
list of witnesses testified to having
seen him with the girls, one other
taving accompanied him on the same
mission, and having been left behind
under a slight excuse.
DeCris is a brother of Mamie DeCris.
the diamond queen, who several
years ago, made most sensational
charges against a Georgia penitentiary

trial will be awaited with much

FREE TIE FIGHT
AGAINST THK STRRL TRl'ST IS
LOST, OF COUIISR.
Ten Republicans Voted With the
IH?mocrats to Give the Farmers of
the South Justice.
In his Washington letter to The
State Zach McGee says both the
South Carolina senators took an active
part in the fight to put cotton
ties on the free list today. They
in fact practically led the fight, the
amendment being proposed by Senator
Culberson, who had arranged
with the Carolina senators to speak.
But it was of no use; the Aldrlch
machine, which i? nnH??r oi-o,i
I Rations to the steel trust, voted it
I down. Senntor Aldrich made the
I plea that since there were large deI
posits of iron in certain Southern
I States, the South ought to be makI
ing its own cotton ties and the
I Southern senators ought to be against
J any effort to put ties on the free
I list.
Senator Tillman replied that as a
J matter of fact, the South did not
I make any cotton ties and could not
I make any, owing to the dominance
I of that business by the steel trust.
I Senators Oliver of Pennsylvania
I and Lodge of Massachusetts stated
1 that the Southern cotton farmer actI
ually makes money off of bagging
I and ties because he buys bagging
I and ties for about 3 cents a pound
I and sells the bagging and ties at
I the same price as the cotton.
Senator Smith completely refuted
J this by showing that the Liverpool
I buyers deducted for bagging and tleH
! per cent, and then fix the price
I of the whole world, this 6 per cent
I being taken out l>efore the price
I of the cotton is fixed In America.
I Senator Smith got into a spirited
I colloquy with Messrs. Oliver. Ix>dge
land others over this point, and thus
I demonstrated to the senate what he
I could do in running debate, it was
I clear to all that he was a master
I of the subject and the best Informed
I man In the senate on the subject
I of cotton.
1 Cotton bngging was put oil the free
I list Monday moruiug. without a dlI
vision, but the steel trust was not
I concerned in thnt. The senate voted
I down the tie proposition. 38 to 31.
The following Republicans voted
I with the Democrats for free ties:
I Meveridge, Hristow, Drown, Clapp
I Crawford. Cummins, DuPont, JohnI
son, LaFolette and Nelson.

PIT OX FRKK LIST.
I Cotton Hugging Amendment Accepted
by Senate.
Without debate the Senate Mondaj
I placed cotton bagging on tho frc<
I list and agreed to the House rate ol
I three-tenths of a cent a pound on
(cotton ties. This item will still hav<
I to run the gauntlet of the confer

of a cent per square yard. Thf
amendment regarding cotton bagging
was offered by Senator McLaurin, ol
Mississippi, and covered bagging foi
cotton, gunny cloth and similar fabrics,
suitable for covering cotton.
This action was followed bj
agreement to the entire paragraph
which also included binding twine
upon the free list.
