to call his, neither wife nor parents

by appearing at the post office again
ths next morning.

He did not return for several days,
and when be did appear at the post
office, Mr. 8mlth was imaged to bear
the child calling him daddy.
“Wall, you se^* explained Johnson,
sbeeplahly, “I came to the conclusion
that 1 was a sort of selfish cusa, liv­

"I got word at Alliance, Ark., she ex­

“Might your name be Johnson. Mias?”
“Yea. Clarice Johnson."
"Well, H's odd; but the boy waa
addressed to C. Johnson—that stands
for Charles; and as there’s only one
C. Johnson around here, I gave him to
him.”
Aftermath of Party.
According to Jerry and T. C. Allen,
the Floyd county officers, the moun­
tain murder was th* aftermath of a
riotous family party back In the hills,
during which a worimn, Mrs. Moots
Allen, wns shot to deah. Sliepherd,
tbe man afterward killed by Howard,
was tried and convicted of the wom­
an’s killing, but had been granted ■
new”tHal.
According to the officers, the com­
monwealth charges that others who
were suspected in the killing, afraid
Shepherd would go free, hired How­
ard. aald to be a "dead shot,” to kill
th* accused man. One day In January,
while Shepherd and a neighbor, David
Wilson, were riding a mule along a
mountain trail in a craek bed, with
Howard and Bruce Shepherd, a broth­
er to the man later slain, on another
mule, Howard drew his pistol and shot

The location of the escaped man
