CAPTURE A “LIVE” GIANT

Amite City Hears This “Broth of a Man” Hasn’t Shaved In Two Years. Amite City, La.—A reminder of the once “Bloody Tangipahoa” is in jail here. He is Louis Singleton, the most powerful man physically in Tangipahoa. Without a haircut or shave for two years, Singleton looked more like a huge grizzly bear than a human. His relatives say that they have been unable to keep him at home. Singleton has two brothus, Walter and Ezra, and the old 250-ticre homestead is situated three miles northeast of Kentwood. The brother, Walter, together with Louis SingletoP, is charged with shooting a neighbor’s cow and disturbing the peace.
