English went to Americus last Friday to see what was being done in regard to the murder the previous day of his cousin, Mr. Joel Edge, one of the best known citizens of Sumter County. > The death of Mr. Edge was shocking and mysterious. The body of Mr. Edge was found on the side of the road near his home, about five miles from Americus, with the skull crushed. From the evidence at hand, it would seem Mr. Edge was murdered while in Americus late Wednesday night and the body then placed in the dead man's buggy, his horse put in the road to his late home, and started off. > The body remained in the buggy until almost at home, when it fell out where found by neighbors the next morning. > The case is apparently still shrouded in mystery. The dead man was unmarried, though he had many relatives and friends in Oglethorpe and Macon County, and prominent in secret order circles in this section. > A negro woman has been arrested, charged with the crime.. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/MaconObits?admin> > >
