Allie HACKERThe Beattyville Enterprise (Beattyville, KY)
Thursday, 23 July 1953Waiving juvenile jurisdiction last Saturday, County Judge Cecil Kincaid relinquished over to the Lee Circuit Court the responsibility of handling the case involving Zeke Hacker, a 14-year-old youth charged with murder in connection with the slaying of his father, Allie Hacker last week.
The boy was released on a $3000 bond to await the action of the next Grand Jury which will convene here the third Monday in October.
Since Zeke readily admittted shooting his father twice with a 12-guage shotgun, there was no examining trial and no testimony was heard concerning this case when it was brought up Saturday morning. Court officials and attorneys for the boy appointed by Judge Kincaid, agreed on the bond and the boy was released immediatley after it was filled.
The victim of the shooting, 55-year-old Allie Hacker, was buried Friday afternoon in Riverview Cemetery following funeral services conducted in the chapel of the King Justice Funeral Home. The funeral services were under the direction of Rev. R. B. Baker, pastor of the Beattyville Baptist Church of which the slain man was a recent member.

Sunday, 5 June 1949About 11 p.m. on the night of March 23 of this year, Bess Hammons (Mrs. James Goodrich), well-known Palm Beach real estate broker who lives and has her office in a two-story rambling structure 338 Royal Palm Way, telephoned the Palm Beach police. Her 78-year-old mother, Mrs. N. R. Hammons, was not in her room, and could not be found nowhere she told officiers.
She had last seen the frail little elderly woman about 6:30 p.m. she reported, when Mrs. Hammons went to her bedroom on the second floor, in a slight huff over plans for a pot-luck supper for an unexpected guest.
No known trace has ever been found of the aged woman, known to have poor eyesight, said to have been rather unfamiliar with the streets of Palm Beach despite long residence here, believed to have little money with her.
No bus driver or motorist has ever been located who could remember giving her a ride.
No body has ever been washed up from Lake Worth.
Police claim that all known methods of departure have been checked. Relatives in Kentucky and Georgia and friends as far away as California have denied ever seeing her.
Officially she has vanished, leaving even fewer clues than Judge Crater did when he disappeared in the heart of New York City some 19 years ago. According to Police Chief Eddie Longo, it's Palm Beach's first unsolved disappearance.
NOTE: Nannie was the granddaughter of Benjamin F. & Martha Wilson Raines/Reins and probably the daughter of Celucous Reins & Emily Clark. She is found living with her aunt, Louvenia Raines Clark, in 1880 Owsley County, KY. She was married to Jefferson Hammons ca 1888.
