Governor and authorities offered rewards for murderer
The governor county commissioners and city authorities will be appealed to to offer rewards for the capture of the murderer. Professor Boggs of 79 West North Avenue said neither he nor his father Dr William B Boggs formerly chancellor of the University of Georgia would go to Florida. My brother at Jacksonville Lucien told me by long distance Wednesday afternoon that he was leaving for Miami. I will await further news from him I can see no reason why anyone should want to kill my brother and his daughter and know of no enemies he ever made. Miss Marjorie Boggs recently graduated from the National Parke seminary in Washington and visited Atlanta as the guest of her uncle two years ago. During her visit here she made many friends and is remembered by a number of Atlantans.
