told her that it was either the child 3
life or hers.
The child was killed by the woman
and buried in ditch, where it was af-
forwards found by some people and re-
ported to the coroner.
An inquest was held and on the evil
dence submitted to the jury warrants
were issued both for Franklin and his
wife, Lizzie.
The man got wind of the affair some
how and left for parts unknown and un-
til a few days ago had never been
heard of by the authorities in Colum-
bus.
The woman, Lizzie Franklin, was
tried in the superior court on the
charge of murder and acquitted on ac'
count of the fact that she was forced
to do what she did to save her own life,
Since his arrest it has developed that
Franklin had married again, which
constitutes case of bigamy against
him as we'll as one of murder.
He will probably be tried at the
February term of Muscogee superior
court.
