Atlanta Feb 16 A guard named William Massey at the Parham Coal and Coke company convict camp in Pittsburg Walker county was killed last Sunday night while patrolling the wooded remote district of the camp. No motive or suspect details were released.

Murder at the Prison Farm Leads to $200 Reward

Warden John D. Gude and Governor Terrell authorize a $200 reward for the arrest and conviction of the unknown killer who murdered Massey at the capitol prison camp. The crime appears robbery motivated. Massey was robbed of $40, a gold watch, a pistol, and a state property shotgun. Massey had health issues but served as a capable guard and was kept on after past service. An unnamed Negro seen near the camp the day of the tragedy is suspected.
