AMERICUS, Ga., March 6.—Twin brothers, se arated in early boy hood, have furnished for the crim inal history of the South its most remarkable case of dual {dentity, | Alfred D. Oliver, ex-banker and ex-social leader, has just stepped out of pris after serving a sen | tence for a crime, he alleges, was | committed by his twin brother, Louls C. Oliver. | Also, Alfred served a four-year sentence for bigamy because Louis wife insisted that he (Alfred) S| | | her husband, Louis. They Are Doubles The twin brothers look so nearly | alike that their best friends, their | relatives, even, could not tell the one from the other. One twin grew up prosperous, re- spected, honest—-he has just come out of a prison cell The other is alleged to have —grown into the “black sheep” and to have committed the crime for which the former was punished These Oliver twins were born 49 years ago, at Climax, They were dressed alike, acted alike, and were the tmages of each other Even their playmates did not know the difference. Cuts Off His Toe When 9 years old, they were wading in a puddie near their | home. Louis stepped on a tin can and the big toe of his left | foot wae cut off. Not long after, their parents died and Louis was taken by a family named Harding. Alfred lived with an aunt. A year later the Hardings moved away with Louls, the twin with the nine toes. He had been legally adopted, and, instead of betng Louis C. Oliver, he became Louis C, Hard ing.

He wired to the governor of Geor gia that Harding was wanted in Mississippi to serve out a ten-year | term under the name of Harding. | So, when Alfred Oliver's bigamy | term was ended, a sheriff of Mis-| sissipp! met him at the door of the| Georgia penitentiary. The other @ay Alfred Oliver went before the court to make a final de termined fight to prove that he was serving sentence for his twin broth that he served four years in orgia as a bigamist because of the mistaken identity and lost a wife and fortune, also. “My twin brother, who now ia known Harding,” said the prisoner, the man you want. He has nine toes; | have ten.” Chancellor Jones looked over Rer-| tillon measurements of Harding and those of Oliver. It was true as the prisoner said, that Harding has only nine toes, while Oliver has ten. The chancellor then granted an order freeing Alfred D. Oliver.
