Brown, after it had been estab-! lished to the satisfaction of the/ state’s attorney's office and the} detective bureau that Caponi in person led the slayers of McSwig-} gen. The newspaper said it had | been found that Caponi handled | the machine gun, being compelled | in this act in order to set an ex-| @ample of fearlessness for his less | eager companions, | In addition to McSwiggen,! dames Doherty and Thomas!

JOHN’S RIVER BRIDGE EX- AMINING CARS IN SEARCH OF CLUE (By Associated Press) JACKSONVILLE, May 5.—Of- ficers were stationed at the St. John’s river bridge this afternoon to examine passing cars in search of one with bloodstains, in an at- tempt to obtain clues to the al- leged murder of W. C. Prabbs, 26, a plasterer, of Miami, and Scot- land, Georgia. Prabbs’ body, with wounds in the head apparently inflicted with a blunt instrument, was found near the St. Augustine road today by Arthur Stevens, of Jaskson- ville, while traveling a by-road in) the St. Ongesville section.) eLug- gage of the dead man was scat- tered around the body, and it was the: theory of St. John’s county officials that the man was killed and robbed, and his car stolen by some one he may have picked up along the road. 1 A coroner’s jury was to meet at, St. Augustine this afternoon. The road on which Prabbs’ body was found was about 12 miles north of St. Augustine, and 28 miles south | of Jacksonville. Identification was established by papers found oh the body. ¢ MRS.
