Two of the tims were of unquestioned respee- tability, two of the town. Each lived in a different por tion of the city, and with one excep tion there seemed no possible motiv~ for the killing of any of them. The first to meet death ut the butcher's hauds was Mrs Hattie G Haynes, wife of Dr. W. F. Haynes, a prominent physician who lived near ly two wiles from the heart of the city in an cxcelleut locality easily zeached by motor trains. Mrs Garner, who lived vext door, bad attended a church social. Together they started for their homes at 11:30 o’clock One gate served the pur poses of both families and inside the women separated, Mrs Garner. going ou to her home only a few the conversation and ran, screaming her The fien 1 followed her and,while the uufortunate girl stood elasped in Ler mother’s arime, sent a bullet into her heart She fell to the floor and, to wake sure of his work, he fired again. The family had cme here from Shreveport only six months ago. The murdered gil was engaged toa promineut young business man of this city. The blood hounds had arrived, but refused to work. Angered aud excited men rushed frantically to their homes to make su e their luved ones were safe, and arming them selves te the teeth went forth to hunt down the perpetrator of these awful deeds. Every suspicious char- acter was placed under arrest, aud each succeeded in securing his re lease. There are two theories as to the murder here, one that a single man committed them all, the other that it was the work of two or more men. The public generally entertains the latter, while the authorities stand by the former. It is clearly evident that in the case of Mrs. Haynes, 2 surprisel burglar committed the murder, possibly to avoid identifica- tion. In the other cases the motive is a mystery.
