atement follows:
family and friends of Car-'
?ley, of Spartanburg, are
1 that he rrte't his death by
f, and that he did not lose
by a fall from a trestle, as
irst reported in the papers.
Moseley left Charleston in
son coach on the afternoon

out from the Francis Marion
f 6 o'clock, having talked
veral - parties just before
Katly the following morncar
was found on a spur

f a struggle. The upholsterthe
top of the car was rip n
in two places. The right

n the ground beside the
lere was no scar of any
the door to indicate that it
nek anything. There was
the car and blood on the
ift. The glass in both doors
attered, but the glass in the
wind shield was intact. Some c AS.
upholstering was torn from ,d(Se
backs of the seats. y A
"Mr. Moseley's body was fouftd
half mile away from the car
beneath u Southern Railway trestle.'?
i There was a three inch open cut in
the back of his head, and a circular
depressed fracture of the skull just
below it. There were bruises on the
forehead, nose, mouth and pjhin, and
a circular bruise on the right wrist
and left hand. Mr. Moseley's shirt
and ,coat sleeves were saturated
with blood from near the shoulder
seam to the cuff, yet the skin
of the arm underneath was nowwhere
broken, showing that the blood
soaked in from outside. A peculiar
and telling piece of evidence is the
facjt'^at the left sleeve of the raincoat,
vtdjieh was ajsp 'oft the body,
had practically no bloptjr on it, showing
that it had be'eft-y^t on after the
blood had soaked into the other two
sleeves. Furthermore, the raincoat
pocket had a three and a half inch
tear in it, and the pants belt strap
was torn half in two. This strap
had not ripped loose from either
side, but vya&'broken in two. The
clothes under the raincoat were Very
muddy, both back and front.
"The condition of his clothes, and
the fact that there wag so little
blood at the spot where his body
was found, no bones were broken
and no bruises on his body, a fatal
blow on the back of his head yet
bruises all over his face, were conclusive
proof that he did not fall
from the trestle but was killed and
placed there. In the face of all
this evidence, the Governor's detective
stated that they believed it
was a clear case of accident.
"There was a filling station with
a light in front which burned all
night within two hundred feet of
whc.e the car 'was found. Had Mr.
Moseley had car trouble he would
nave gone to this filling station

raprrs was found leaning against a
faction house near th? railroad about
one hundred feet away.
"The coroner's jury has n?Ver
rendered a verdict. The physician
called to the ?<*?e stated that he
could not agree to a verdict of accidental
death because he did aot

Bootlegger King Slays Wife
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 6.-George
Remus, one time "king of bootleggers,"
today shot his wife, Imogene,
to death as she leaped from a taxi
cab after seeing Remus' car swing
out from a parking place into traffic
behind her. Mr*. Remus was on
her way at the time to attend a hearjng
on a divorce suit she filed against
her husband before he was released
from the Atlanta penitentiary in
1926. Remus was being held in jail
tonight without bond on a first degree
murder charge. The shooting
occurred as Mrs. Remus drove
through Eden park here. She died
after being removed to a hospital.
The divorce suit was to have received
a definite hearing today after
it had been delayed by repeated continuances.
To forestall an insanity
plea, County Prosecutor C. P. Taft
late today ordered Dr. Wr. C. Kendig,
Hamilton county court alienist, to
interview Remus and form his own
conclusions regarding whether
Remus was insane at the time of the
killing. An automobile with Remus
in it swung out from the side of
Victory parkway early this morning
to follow a taxi in which Mrs. Remus
and her adopted daughter, Ruth, 19,
were riding to court.

case and whistling. The owner
glared at him.
"How much do you get a week?"
he demanded.
'^Five dollars, sir," replied the boy.
Then here's a week's pay. Now
get out!"
The boy put the money in his
pocket and departed.
"When did you hire that loafer?"
the owner demanded of the department
head a little later. $
