Suspects in Jail.

Hattiesburg, Nov. 3 - The mystery involving the killings of Mrs. Williamson at this place early Friday morning is still unsolved. All day long the affair has been discussed by groups of men, large and small, and the interest seems to deepen. Clew after clew has been taken up and followed till it as ended in nothing, and a feeling of pent-up rage seems to pervade the whole community, which bodes no good to the criminal if found. The authorities are using every effort to get on the track of the murderer, who, it is evident, had a deeper motive than burglary in entering the room.

Mayor Williamson arrived at 7 o'clock in a delayed train from Meridian and was met by a large concourse of sympathizing friends.
