THE WRONG OK a0RED.

The following Atlanta Ga
special of the 10 inst, to the

men of oxtrcmc and pronounced
views are sometimes made to see
the error of their ways and con

INHUMAN WRETCHES
The Body of White Baby
Found In g Drift.
The Vicinity Around the Seven Mile
Ferry Thrown Into Excitement Over
the Affair-No Glue.

A horrible and unnatural crime
has been committed somewhere on
the Cumberland river above the
seven mile ferry. Some inhuman
wretch has killed a child, little girl
baby, and ruthlessly consigned its
body to the muddy Cumberland for a
grave. The thought is so revolving
that humanity stands dumfounded
contemplating the depravity and
meanness of such a wretch.
At the seven mile ferry, only a
few miles from the city, last evening,
Mrs. Sanderson, wife of the ferry
man, noticed some object fastened in
a pile of drift. She at first thought
it some kind of animal that had
been drowned and had been washed
into the brush by the waves. Curl
Osity prompted her to walk down
the bank and examine the object.
To her surprise, and horror, she found
it to be a little white baby girl.
The men at the ferry were notified
OF the find and took the body from
the drift and laid it on the bank. A
plain, white cloth was wrapped
about its mead and shoulders. This
is the only clue that might be used
to trace out the guilty party or par
ties. The child was evidently only
a few days old. 1t would have
weighed perhaps ten pounds. De-
composition had not set up to any
extent. The head and face were
somewhat disfgured, but the body
was perfect.
Coroner John Station was notified
and held an inquest. No point was
brought out that would throw any
light on the crime. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that the child had been
consigned to the water to cover up
shame. The body was buried on the
river bank above high water mark.
The only solution is that the child
was thrown into the river at some
point above, and had escaped being
caught in a drift until it arrived at
the seven mile ferry. The utmost
power should be executed to bring
the guilty parties to account for their
inhuman act. A murder so terrible
should not be allowed to go unpun-
ished,
