Some time since Governor Stephens. in an
interview with an Atlanta Constitution re-
porter. alluded 10 a mysterious case in the
pehltentlal,y. namely. OF a negro woman un-
named who had been in the penitentiary
since 1865, and against whom there appeared
no record OF any crime or charge whatever
The woman claimed to be from Albany. Ga.
The Albany NeSos anil Adcertiser instituted
some inquiries in reference 70 this strange
case, and made search Of the records of court
which are intact, not having been disturbed
by any gang OF record thieves such as operate
IN Atlanta, but could find nothing bearing on
the mysterious case. The only response made

ferred to comes from cOlOred man living on
Jesse Halls place. in DOugherty county. who
says the Adsertiser, told Bob Forester that
ne knew all about the case referred to. That
the unfortunate wOmans name was Rose
Mckae, who was originally from
IWiggs, and whose husband was
a blacksmith travelling about the
country soon after the war working on iObs
and who happened to be around Albany about
the time referred to; that his wife was taken
up on charge of infanticide, and was sent to
the penltentiary. not from DOugherty, but
from Bibb county. As the cOlored man who
gives the above Information was certain as to
what It Is worth, though we admit it is far
from conclusive or even satisfactory"
