Ga. railroad shops in Marietta, was killed at the shops, by some unknown party on Monday night last. His head was crushed by some heavy instrument, his body dragged to the stove and the fire pulled upon his head which burned him in a horrible manner. Pink Stephens is working a clew which he thinks will entrap the guilty party or parties. A man and woman are supposed to be the murderers, and, it is said, a man has been arrested who had on Howard's watch. Other developments will follow.
