This contained the alleged $50 bill, or as
the prosecution supposed il to be, gold
certificate for that amount. Marriatt
took the purse ana bill from the child,
stating that the latter was a counterfeit

it up. He threw the purse In

says that he put the bill in his pocket;
another, woman who was with her,
swore that the bill was also thrown In
the stove. The prosecution failed TO
prove that the bill was actually money.

and did not know what II was or It's
value.
THE GRAND JURY
met yesterday morning and began an In
vestlgation Of the killing OF Frank Bow
land, the negro boy whose remains were
found in thcket in Mr. Charles Cop

believes that enough evidence has already
been accumulated to convict Collins and
Turner without permitting either to turn

fact that the grand jury will not impli-
cate mule In the murder. Some other
notes will be brought before IL to-day
An effort will be made to finish up and
adjourn this evening.
