Negro Trying to Dispose Of
 t at Dumping Grounds
ONE WAS 4 BABY'S BODY
Glass Jars In Barrels Contain 5aby's Remains, Negro's Head and Hu- man Bones, All Having
 Flesh on Them.

The remains of a white infant, negro head and a quantity Of human bones, were found in two barrels carried to the city dumping grounds at Avenue and Thirty-second street. yesterday afternoon by a negro, who stated he swas told to dispose of them either by burying or burning them. He claimed the relics came from the rear of the building on Second alley and Twenty-first street, for merly occupied by the Birmingham Med ical college.
 The remains of the infant and some of the bones were in glass jars and had evidently been picltled or preserved. The flesh was on the bones, but decomposition had not set in, although 1t was evident they were several weeks old.
 The negro driver carried two barrels tightly nailed to the dumping ground and asked that they be burned. The man in charge refused until he knew what the barrels contained. He opened them and found the bones and flesh. He telephoned Coroner Paris and the coroner made a partial investigation. He decided that his services were not required as 1t was probable the bodies had been obtained in a legitimate manner by the medical coi- lege He, however, turned the matter over to the chief of police, who will in- vestigate the matter this morning to see if there is anything suspicious enough to cause an examination of where the por- hons of human body came from.
