Carroll County Times: ION last Monday,
four miles this side of Griffin, as the train
the Savannah. Griffin and North Alabama Rail
road was returning to Carrollton, it ran over
negro girl about thirteen years OF age, killing
her Immediately. The circumstances. as we
learn them, are about these: The train started

the circumstances, seems strange to uS, as the
evidence Of eye witr esses is that she could have
