It hoped that on this latter poin thcro. can ho a unanimous report from tho commission so a public opinion may be behind existing -law.

Sheriff Luther Epperson and County Coroner Dr. Edward Cook united in opinion today, after a night of investigation which saw the coroner's inquest opened, that.the "shake down," the Murphy slaying and the Symmes Corner road slaughter are closely linked.
