FOR THE MINNIE MISSION.
The County Commissioners Give $500
to the Institution.

Its Friends, However, Must First
Raise 1900, and the County Will
Then Make the Total So, OOO-The
Name to Be Changed to the Little
Children's Home" and Charter to
Be Applied for.
The county commissioners held special
call meeting yesterday afternoon to con-
slider the petition for aid from The Little
Children's Home formerly known as
the Minnie mission. \ special meeting
was called i'm order that the matter might
be decided before the budget is passed on
by the grand jury at its meeting this
afternoon.
The petition was presented in behalf Of
the Little Childrcn's Home by Garrard,
Meldrim & Newman, and stated that the
ladies who managed the Minnie mission
had organized that society to carry on the
charitable work begun by the mission. 1t
stated also that the institution was non
sectarian in its character, and that it
would be the only place in the city where
children of both sexes under Z years
of age are taken in and cared for.
Col. William Garrard appeared before
LDG COMMISSIONERS 10 Ildkc an appeal lOf
aid from the county in behalf Of the insti-
tuition, and stated that the ladies expected
to rent a house and carry on the same
work that was begun by the Minnie mis-
sion, and that they needed assistance in
the present emergency from the organ
lied authorities in order TO get the work
under way. He said the annual expenses
were about 1000 and mentioned in
stances of good done by the mission.
~ ti
in the budget for the Minnie mission
Mr.. KehOe objected on the ground that
it would open the doors to appeals and
claims from the orphans homes in the
city on the county's larder DR. Charl-
ton thought the same way and suggested
that the amount be given provided 81, 600
was obtained from other sources for the
maintenance of the home.
II was suggested then that this appro-
priation be made on the ground that il
was an emergency and was needed by the
mission to tide it over its difficulties DR.
Charlton then moved to donate $500 il
they raised an additional 81 goo. Mr.
Kehoe wanted to make it - 600. Then
the discussion turned on the question as
TO why the Louisa Porter home could not
take charge of this charity, provided an
additional appropriation was made, as
that institution has been appointed com
missioner of the poor for the county.
This was objected to, however, on the
ground that many of the gifts would be
withdrawn if it should be made an adjunct
of the Louisa Porter home
Mr. Kehoe stated that he could not
vote for the appropriation unless his
amendment in regard to the $1,000 was
accepted. The other commissioners de-
cided to split the difference and make it
81 800
So it was decided that $500 should be
given the Little Chidren's Homo" pro-
vided it raised 81 800 from other sources.
An emergency clause was also incor-
porated in the resolution, and the apprO-
priation was made only for this year All
of the commissioners voted i'm favor of
the resolution except Mr. Kehne.

REASONS FOR THE NEW TRIAL.
The State Did Not Corroborate Charles
Bacon's Testimony.


The supreme court held in the Blois and
Hayward cases that the state had failed
to corroborate Bacons testimony as to
the identity of the condemned men as the
parties who killed Mr.. Meyer. Here is
the head note of the decision, the text of
which will arrive some time next week:
Blois VS.. the State. Hayward VS. the State.
Criminal law. Evidence. Accomplish. Be
fore Judge Falligant Chatham superior
court.
Confederation Of an accomplice upon the
facts and circumstances of the corpus deficit
when these facts and circumstances have no
more tendency to fix guilt upon the accused
than upon any other person, will not dispense
with confederation of that part of the testi-
mony OF the accomplice which goes TO identify
the accused as the pcrpetrator or one of the
perpetrators of the crime. In the present
case all the facts and circumstances taken
separately or collectively relied upon as
corroboration, were consistent with innocence
on the part of the accused, and were there
fore insufficient to satisfy the rule of law
which requires the evidence OF a single wit
ness, who is himself an accomplish to be
eorroborated. and forbids conviction on a
charge Of felony, upon the evidence of an
accomplce alone.
