TWO MURDERED BABIES
Horrible Crime Brought to Light IN
Tallapoosa County


Alexander City, April 26.-(Speeial)-The
criminal annals of Tallapoosa county con-
tain no more horrible or deplorabe event
than the crime recently brought TO light
near New Site this county. 1t is revolting
in every phase
The remains of two newborn white in
fants were found secreted near the house
of Stephen Grow, an old and respected citi-
zen, last Friday. One of the bodies showed
marks of violence about the face, while
the other could not be recognized as human
except by the skull and bones. Evidently
the bodies had been hidden for two or three
weeks.
Suspicion pointed to Ollie and Fannie
Grow, young and pretty daughters of Ste
phen Crow, and so strong was circumstan-
tial evidence against them that they were
placed under arrest After a sensational
preliminary trial at New Site yesterday the
two girls were committed to Jail at Dade-
VILE despite their protests of innocence.
Ii is belived that more sensational devel-
opments will follow, which will implicate
others. If the babes were murdered after
BIRTH which has not yet been professionally
or legally established, it means bitter fate
for the guilty ones.

The admiral is still unacquainted with
the details of the famous speech, but he
declared that his relations with Captain
Coghlan are most cordial.
He received a cablegram from the cap
tain of the Raleigh when that warship
reached Algiers, congratulating the admi-
raj on his promotion. Admiral Dewey is
certain that Captain Coghlan could not
have said anything calculated to place the
admiral in a false position. He showed the
World correspondent a letter from Admiral
Won Diederichs of the German navy con-
graduating him on 'shs deserved promo
tion," and also his letter in reply, which
closed with the words, "All our differences
