THE MOTHER HELD.
Coroner's Jury duplicates Her in Kill
ing Of Her Child-Male Com
panion held as Accessory.


The inquest over the remains Of
Corintha Crawley, the 8-year-old color
ed girl who was found murdered Tues
day morning, was resumed this morn
ing; very little testimony Of impor-
tance was divulged beyond that of the
physicians who made the post mortem
examination. This testimony tended
to show that death was due to asingle
blow on the side Of the head with a
blunt instrument.
"Budn Monroe, who has been living
with the accused woman, Addie Craw-
ley, took the stand and testified more
freely.
He stated that he had seen the
Crawley woman Monday morning.
That she had a short club in her hand
and that, when she was questioned,
she stated that she was going to "kill
that d. little heifer.n Monroe
stated that he cautioned the woman
not to whip the child, that she was
liable to kill her. Monroe states that
the woman answered, ~ don't care a
c. d.; her life is insured, any
way"
When the evidence was all in the
cononer's jury retired and, on the first
ballot returned verdict laying the
crime at the door Of Addie Crawley
and charging "Budn Monroe with be-
ing an accessory.
In closing up the verdict the follow
ing form was used;
"Corintha Crowley came to her
death from the injury of the skull in
flicted by Addie Crawley as principal
and Alex Monroe as accessory.

Farmer Fools Robbers.

Mattoon, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-James Reed
a prominent young farmer living
near Dana, Edgar county, while at
work in a field blowing yesterday af-
ternoon, was approached bya stran-
ger who said Reed was wanted at the
house on business. Reed suspected
triekery, and dropped behind on a
pretext, and placed his gold watch
and a large sum of money in a fence
corner.
When his yard was reached the
stranger drew a revolver. Reed
knocked the weapon utof his hands
and felled the assailant with his fist,
when an unseen confederate sand
bagged Reed and afterward chloro-
formed him. The robbers sought
everywhere in vain for the missing
valuables. Reeds wife found him
unconscious in the yard upon her re-
turn from II shopping trip to Dlna.
The robbers were traced to Chrisulan,
but escaped.

LEFT NOTE IN LOVE STOkY.
Using the LORg-EstRblished
Family Post ONCE

L. D. Kidd. No. 1921 South Park
avenue, Chicago, failed to use the
family post office in notifying his
wife that he had been suddenly called
out of the city, and, in consequences,
Mrs. Kidd thought he had been muir
dered. The family post Office is a
tea urn. Mr.. Kidd left the note tell
ing of his departure in book which
she had been reading, with the result
that as she was too excited to con-
tinue the love story she didn't learn
the true state of affairs until the
other day.
Mr.. Kidd and his partner went
home earlier than usual Monday aft
ernoon. When Mr.. Kidd reached his
house a telegram was waiting for
him, calling him to brother in Iowa.
Mrs. Kidd was out calling, and, after
leaving n note telling her that he was
going to Iowa, the husband went
downtown. He put another note in
Mr.. Roses desk in their Office explain
ing matters to him. Mrs. Kidd did
not find the note, and she FASTENED
to the office, and eventually wound
up the search for her husband at the
home OF Mr.. Rose in Englewood.
Not finding him there she collapsed,
and Mr. Rose reported the strange
disappearance to the police, and then
continued the search until five o'clock
the next morning. When he went to
his Office few hours later and
opened his desk he found the note of
the partner about whom all sorts of
violent deaths had been surmised ly-
ing before him. Mrs. Kidd was mott
fed at the home OF Mr.. Rose, and, her
mind being at rest, she went home
to her novel and found the note for
her. Mr.. Rose will return to Chicago
next week.

RICH GOLD FIND.
Two Men Claim to Have Made a VAL
liable Discovery Seventy Miles
North of Tucson, Ar;:.

Charles r. and Porter ". Fleming,
have recently returned To Tucson,
Ariz., from the Galluro mountains,
where they report remarkable gold
discovery. The rich find is located
20 miles north OF Tucson, and the
vein of ore. according to the Flem-
ings, is 200 feet wide and G,O10 feet
in length. A canyon cuts tarough
the vein for 200 feet, exposing The ore
on either side the entire lyn"th of
the cut. The Fleming brothers AS
sert that from the bottom of the
canyon to the surface the outcrop-
pings of ore will run from five to one
thousand dollars to the ton. They
estimate the amount Of gold in sight
at the enormous sum of $1.000,000.
The Tucson Star, of that place, is au-
thority for the statement that the
story told by the Fleming brothers is
authentic, and that it has verified the
facts as above given. II the find
turns out as rich as the report
| brought by the two prospectors
seems to indicate il will he one of
the greatest gold discoveries ever
