Pieces of the wings, broken j off, fluttered downward." A moment later I saw the parachute dropping? , then it poened gradually and floated , down." ] Clingman and his six year old son, < Thomas, had been working in the back yard a few minutes before the j plane fell.

Adjutant General Nash's neck was broken and he died in a Griffin hospital. Maj. Charles Cox, commander of the Atlanta battalion, sustained a broken collar bone and broken ribs. Lieut. H. A. Heine, driving the car, is said to have been only slightly injured. Members of the party were returning home from a barbecue given by ' Maj. G. E. Mallet and officers of the J Jackson rifle company, to members of the Georgia Infantry Officers' as- 1 sociation. * Officers from all over Georgia were in attendance.

Maj. G. E. Mallet and other officers went to the scene of the accident and from there to Griffin, Ga., late tonight to conduct an official investigation of the accident. Meantime, Mrs. Nash was carried from Atlanta to Griffin in an automobile. The bodies of her husband and of Lieutenant Butler will be returned to Atlanta in tfie early morning it was learned here. Adjutant General Nash had been active in military affairs of Georgia for many years. He was appointed adjutant general, local officers stated, by former Gov. Joseph Terrell about 12 years ago. He had held the place since that time, with the exception Df two years during the war, since his appointment. When war was declared Adjutant General Nash was given a leave of absence by Gov. tiUlgh Dorsey. He attended a military camp and was commissioned a major. He was assigned to the War college at Washington and served there throughout day's barbecue.

J., Oct. 20.? On the heeels of unconfirmed reports that the grqnd jury of Somerset county today had returned an indictment in the Hall-Mills murder mystery, th# investigation was given a sensational twist tonight when it was officially learned that an eyewitness to the double shooting, a woman of reputable character in New Brunswick, had been discovered. The interjection of this new phase in the already greatly complicated case was said to have been responsible for the sudden turn today in the activity of Prosecutor Beekraan, who appeared before the grand jury at Somerville. The only handicap now retarding the prosecutor in bringing the situation to a climax was said to be the problem of positive identification by the newly found witness, as more than one person is said to be involved in tht crime. Neither Mr. Beekman nor any other court officials at the county seat in Somerset could be induced to give the slightest enlightenment on the puzzling attitude of all concerned in the inquiry. Responsibility for the next move, which is expected to be of a sensa tional character, wus said now to be squarely up to Prosecutor Beekman ...i _ it i __ j? Lt \>nu is iiiuvin^ rauuuusiy in nis apparent desire to be sure of his ground. The home of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the slain rector, is vigilantly guarded by state troopers and all attempts to communicate with the house by telephone have been unsuccessful. Prosecutor Beekman urged even to intimate if the grand jury had taken up the murder mystery today, refused the slightest information, asserting that all grand jury proceedings arc absolutely secret and that any reports supposedly coming from his office were unauthorized. He said, however, satisfactory progress was being made in the investigation. For the first time since the bodies of the rector and the slain choir singer were discovered Prosecutor Beekman and County Detective Totten permitted newspaper men to see the clothing botht wore when they were killed. falrie, there being only two small holes in the hack of the coat between the shoulders which may have been caused possibly in dragging the body to the spot where it was found. He wore no waistcoat and had on a business man's collar instead of his customary clerical collar, a white tie and a panama hat. The collar and tie were bloodstained. Mrs. Mills wore a dark blue lawn dress with red polka dots which was blood stained above the waist, and a blue underskirt. Working separately of all others who are investigating Prosecuting Attorney Strieker of Somerset county prepared to uestion at least five persons in an effort to obtain sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest. The vestryman of Rev. Hall's church, who said he had been in the neighborhood of the Phillips house in company with young women members of the church the night of the murder, will be quesj tioned. Death of Mrs. R. C. Farr Mrs. R. C. Farr died at the Wallace Thomson hospital last Wednesday and fcber body was brought to the home of her pnrents, Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Inman. She was buried on Thursduy at Mt. Tabor. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Estes. The church was overflowing with her many friends and loved ones, who gathered to pay a tribute to her. Mrs. Farr, on her deathbed, said sh* was prepared and willing to go, but hated to depart from hei dear little children. She was cheerful and conscious until the last minute. All that loving hands could dc on this earth was done, but to nc avail.

Eight boll weevil i placed in the bottle with this buj were attacked and killed, the big bui I spearing them in the back with hi bill. JURY FNDS CARR GUILTY OF MURDER St. George, Oct. 20.?Guilty of murder with recommendation to the mercy of the court was the verdict of the jury in the case against William Carr, Jr., convicted here today of the killing of John C. Patrick. . The jury reached a verdict and returned to the court room at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon after having deliverated for more than three hours. The court was engaged in the trial of a civil case when the verdict was announced. Judge Memminger said sentence would not be passed upon the convicted man until tomor row morning. The young man was surrounded by rnembers of his family. He showed no signs of emotion when the verdict was read by the clerk of court. Messrs. Connor & Behlinger, local counsel for the defense, have intimated nothing thus far as to a motion for a new trial or an apoeal to the supreme court. After both sides had closed Thursday afternoon, the prosecution called several witnesses on reply this morning. The testimony did not differ materially from that of yesterday with the exception of one wtiness who tes tified that Carr had told him that he did not understand why he had not killed Putrick as he had pulled both triggers of the gun. Oscar Owens, policeman of St. George, testified that he had seen the convicted man in the county jail on the morning after the shooting and that when told that the shot had taken effect in Patrick's abdomen, Carr, the witness testified, said that he had aimed at his head. Walker S. Utsey made the iirst argument for the prosecution, followed by William C. Wolfe for the defense the closing argument for the state being made by Solicitor Hydrick. The arguments were among the most eloquent and convincing ever listened to in the Dorchester county court house. Particularly clear and logical was the appeal of Mr. Wolfe, who consumed more than an hour and both Solicitor Hydrick and Mr. Utsey spoke forcefully. Although the crowd today was not so large as yesterday, every available seat was occupied and many had to remain standing. Yesterday afternoon the Union high school. football team added one more victory to its record when Hastoc was taken into camp by the score of 13 to 0. The score is not an exact indication of the strength of the opposing teams for at two other points of the game the Union lads were stopped in their mad rush toward-. Hasto'- s goal by ill timed and rather drastic penalties from the officials. Hastec received the ball on the kick off and made two first downs before the Union lads stiffened. These gains were practically the only ones the locals obtained throughout the entire game. During the first half the Union Hi backs did not show the same pep and vim that was so much in evidence a week ago when they defeated Spartanburg Hi 19 to 7. However, after the intermission between the halves, the visitors marched back on the field wnn i-ne determination to curry tin* ball across the last line on Hastoc's side of the field. Union received to begin the second half. By straight line plunges the ball was carried to within the shadow of Hastoc's goal. At this stage the locals braced up and took the ball on downs. Hastoc tried to punt the ball on the first play. As the back recei\ ed the ball and attempted to boot i! out of the danger zone, the Union lint rushed in and blocked the play. The ball bounced over Hastoc's gonl line and a Union player fell on it for a touchdown, tlv first score of the . game. ^tfear the end of the game when Union had again advanced the ball well ( into enemy territory, the locals again ( received the ball on downs, but on their attempt to punt the ball was I again blocked by a Union player. I Straight line plunges took the ball r the ten yards necessary for a touchdown. Thomas added one more point | from a place kick. Plummer Thomas was the outstand, ing star of the game. His line r smashes and end runs were above the average seen in high school games. I The whole team, though, acquitted ' themselves well in the last half and easily deserved the lusty cheering that was handed to them. About 25 or 50 automobiles, filled with .ttaunch Union supporters journeyed to Spartanburg to cheer the t home team. Miss Virginia Montgomery, who is j studying at Hastoc, is spending the week-end with her parents, Dr. and * Mrs. D. H. Montgomery. y Miss Gertrude Thompson, of Atg lanta, Ga., is the guest of Mts. J. H. I Blanton. g Mrs. Henry Ingram (DeEtte Bens nett) of Asheboro, N. C., is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. J. L. Bolton. , / %
