FOUL PLAY IS
NOW BELIEVED
Case of .Burning of Susan
G'aham Last Sunday
Morning
WAS MURDERED AND
HER HOUSE BURNED
Probably to Hide the Evidence
of A Foul Crime Com
mitted tfebore V ay
Rumors are now beginning to
spreal, at the time of this writing,
of foul play, of some kind in the
burning to death of old Susan Graham,
the seventy-year old negro
"Mamma", whose remains were found
charred in the ruins of her home last
Sunday morning on the Race Path.
This home was just across a
street from that which is occupied by
the daughter of the deceased. It is
reported that this relative failed to
become interested in the whereabouts
of her mother, although hei
house had been burned down, and
her mother whom she had known to
live there, was missing. There was
a considerable disturbance, of course,
about the time of the discovery of
this fire, and while no large crowd
gathered up as sometimes will, yet
there were many persons who got
there before the building was entirely
burned down. They heard no cries,
found no interested relatives who
were anxious to get any person or
persons out of the burning house.
Residents nearby have told that
the fire did not begin at the fire
place end of the building. They explain
that the house had a front
room in which was the fire place,
and also a back room which had no
fireplace. The old woman stept in
the end where thene was no fireplace.
The charred remains of her
body were found lying within the
remains of the fireplace in the front
end of the building. The greater
portion of those remains lay within
the space occupied by the chimney
of the house. ,
The house was burned at about
six o'clock. Persons going down tc
the train about one hour before that
heard voices talking inside thi;
house. After going to the train anc
coming back up the street they sav
the light of this fire that burnec
the house.
At first it was told that th<
woman had spells. Later it hai
been said that she was crazy bu
was able to move about. No crie
were heard from the burning build
ing. There was no sign given thos<
| who wont to the burning house t<
try to save it, that would indicat
that there was anyone inside th
house to be taken out, nor any sigi
that efforts would bo made to tak
anybody out of the hou.s .
From these facts many now. bo

The rain of last week turned into a
freeze before it stopped. The twigs
on the trees had a hard coating of
ice for some time. ?

This is the time for the farmer to
think about the fertilizers he will use
in raising his crops this year. He
must decide on the kinds and how
much of each that he will use. These
are hard problems as things stand
now, but they can be1 solved and will
be solved.
