RAN AWAY BEFORE
 JURY CLEARED HIM
]. c. GOLDEN OF ENSLEY, WHO
 WAS CHARGED WITH EMBEZ- ELEMENT, IS ACQUITTED, BUT DISAPPEARED MYSTERIousLY.

If J. c. Goldston of Ensiey, on trial in the Criminal Court for embezzlement Thursday had taken an extra grip on his nerve Thursday night he would today be a free man instead of the object of every peace office in the State.
 Goldston was on trial for the alleged embezzlement of $53 from l. A. Sanders ployed in the capacity of collector. When the case was called for trial Thursday morning MT. Goldston was promptly on hand and remained throughout the trial After the charge to the jury Thursday afternoon and the jury had retired MT Goldston silently and mysteriously dis appeared and even the theoretical de- ductions and conclusions of an F. Quiller have not up to the present been able to locate the missing man.
 It is known that the jury had arrived at a verdict of not guilty and only awaited the appearance of the defendant to return this verdict. However, as MT. Goldston failed to turn up a mistrial was entered in the case, forfeiture taken against his bondsmen and an alias capias Issued for him, and the case now stands as if there had been no trial.
 Many believe that Goldston has no in- tention of running away, but was either In ignorance of the fact that his presence was necessary for the jury to report or that he is unavoidably detained some r.,ba

COWS ARE LEVIED ON
 TO PAY FOR A CALF
An Insignificant Case From Ensley Reaches Jury Trial and Brings
 Up Queer Tanele.

Sheriff Burgin levied on two cows and heifer Thursday to satisfy the judgment and costs in suit instituted by Lou Bur gess vs. William Pope. This suit started in an insignificant manner in justice court at Ensley last December, a very young and very small calf being the subject involved, but finally reached the dignity of jury trial in the courts of Birmingham with heifer and two cows as the outcome of the contention for the calf.
 Burgess finally succeeded in getting judgment for $10 against Pope but the calf had died. An execution was issued for the judgment and costs in the case, amounting to S3s.1o, and the heifer and cows were levied on Thursday. It is claim ed that total costs in the case amount to over $10o.

CRUEL PARENTS KILL CHILD AND HIDE II UNDER LOG Body of Infant Found With Its Tiny Skull
 Crushed HALF BURIED AND NAKED Believed Its Head Was Mashed By Hands of Heartless Mother or
 Father-Another Appea'
 to Governor.
HALF BURIED AND NAKED

Buried under log with it's skull crush bruised a white two-weeks-old female infant was found yesterday morning by J. ". Eberhart on the top of the hill to the left of the Country Club house near North Birmingham. From all indications the body had evidently been there several days. No clue has as yet been found to the heartless parents. Coroner Paris is Investigating the case.
 When City Physician Whelan examined the body at Warner -Smiley's undertaking establishment he found the skull crushed dition and the blood had clotted under the skin, There were no bruises on the outside to indicate that the shull was mashed by a blow, and the physician believes the skull was crushed by the hands of the murderers which could easily be done with newly born infant.
 The bone was crushed in two places One wound was on the rear of the right side of the head and the other on the
 
 cracks in the skull had so crossed each other that a piece of bone the size of a ten cents piece was taken out.
 The body was found partially covered by log. The head was under the log and was hidden by a piece of rough cloth The feet and legs below the knee were bare The gruesome bundle was found probably 300 yards from the club house and as far from the road on the ether side.
 These May Be Clues.
 Near the body was common rush bas- ket which contained light-colored sum mer coat and a womans black wooden skirt In the bottom of tfe basket was a sack such as is used for kolding grain and provisions. There was nothing on the clothing or basket to lead to identih- cation.
 This Is the eighth baby found dead in and around Birmin gham in the past two months. In but ons case have the guilty persons been caught. The matter has become so strious that the police will take it up and make a careful investi- estion.
 Again Appeals to Governor.
 Coroner Paris wrotee another letter to Governor Jelks last night urging him to offer a reward for the detection of any che guilty of infanticide. He has writ ten once before but has not received a reply.
 Eight young and inrocent children mur- dered in two months Is q fearful record for any city, and for enc the size of Bir- mingham it is considered something aw- ful.
 A reward of some kird will probably be offered by the coroner. He believes this will aid in unmaskinG the murderors.
 It Is probable that Solicitor Hefiin will elso make a request Of the Governor to offer a reward. Coroner Paris was talk ing with Judge Sam Greene yesterday, and he has agreed to join the solicitor in such request.

 The highest temperature for the month was registered yesterday, when the ther- mometer was 66.

Fifteen days the skies were cloudy, eight days they were clear and the re- maining five were partially cloudy.
 The first part of the month was com paratively clear and little rain fell, but during the last two weeks 1t made up the deficiency. Not a single day during the past ten have been entirely without clouds and rain.

LEFT A DEFICIT.

LIEF "A DEF1ClI.
 Although $25, ,96617 additional taxes were paid by the people, the county expenses overran receipts by $6,516.10.
 The expenses of running the courts paid directly by the taxpayers increased $14.S40. 30.
 And this increase alone Is within $1107 of the total appropriations for schools for that year, which by the same token fell off over $7O00 from the year before
 The total appropriation for schools for 1901 was $15, 947. A; the cost of running the Criminal Court was $30, 464 05-paid by taXpayers-not defendants and criminals The jail cost $S039 4S of the taxpayers money. and the sheriffs bailiffs cost s5392 50; returns from the state auditor show that during that period the sheriff was paid by the state for feeding prison- CTS s17s51s0; add to this the further sum of $1315.53 paid to the sheriff by the coun- ty, and we have the magnificent sum of $32. 59O31 or more than twice what is paid to the schools
 FOUR GET $5o,ooo.
 It is generally believed, though I do not assert 1t as a fact, because have not the figures before me, that four of the official of this county receive in the aggregate annually, in salaries and fees $50 O0O, more than three times what the public schools receive.
 Is 1t surprising that children have to pay tuition in the public schools? Is it surprising that teachers in the public schools receive niggardly salaries? Is 1t surprising that most worthy charities must be maintained by personal benevo- lence, and the Industrial Home, so worthy of public support. must find it's support, in a large measure, from voluntary contri- buttons?
 The sums I have referred to are all cash paid by the public out of general taxation and excludes everything paid by individuals, and excludes also a mysteri- ous contrivance known as the Fine and Forfeiture Fund designed and operated to give us a modern form of human sla- very, by which the poor and friendless white and black alike are sent to tho penitentiary for the slightest misdemean- ors in order to work out cost bills-but am only dealing with the figures.
 FIGURES A SURPRISE.
 The figures in respect to this iniquity will no doubt be scource of general surprise when I call your attention to them in the two reports of MT. Camp September 30, 1900. this Fund appears as charge $91,7l4.43. During the year 1901 there was paid on account of it $7- 493.53. And yet, on September 30, 1901, the account showed $105 51761, so we find there was an actual increase in the amount during the year of $21. .296 T and although $1, 59s 42 has been paid since September 30, 1901, the debt on January l, 1902 was s1O5. .9sS. 34. a further increase of 5000 m ore in three months. The two roots of the evil are clear to my mind, first, and worst the fee sys- tenn, and second and last, and a disgrace and shame to use, is the fine and forfei- ture fund.
