00:39an Atlanta paper and saw him collapse while reading an account of the murder. Later in the night,
00:44she heard the young man moaning aloud in his room. She could not sleep and telephoned the chief of
00:49the detectives. Monday evening, Bowen took his trunk and suitcase and moved to a boarding house
00:53where he was arrested two hours later. Pictures of 50 girls, an examination of the papers and
00:59letters in his trunks showed that he had numerous photographs taken in Atlanta. Also, letters
01:04mailed to him in Tyler Tex from Atlanta. Two pictures show him in the uniform of a National
01:09Guardsman. It is understood that Bowen's last Atlanta address was 108 Ivy Street. In Bowen's
01:15trunk were pictures of no less than 50 different girls. He was taken with some of them in surf

01:25probably during an encampment, shortly after the arrest of Bowen. Continued on page six, column one,
