Blakely NetUS: Coroner Robinson. hear
ing of the killing of an infant on the Rambo
plantation and its burial at Arlington, sum-
moned jury of inquest last Monday, went
over and disinterred the body and held an
inquest, which developed the fact that a
little negro boy named Titus Teot, having
been left in charge of male infant by his
parents while they went out to work, grew
tired of his charge and proceeded to quiet
Its cries by numbering it with fork, stab
bling it to death with the instrument.
When the parents returned from work
they found the child wrapped in a blanket
and laid upon the bed, the boy stating that
the baby had grown cold and he wanted to
warm it. Strange to say, the matter was
hushed up as much as possible, and the
child was buried, no steps being taken to
punish the slayer. The coroner's jury pro-
nounced it a case of willful murder, and a
warrant has been issued for the youthful
candidate for the gallows.
