that of VIII Hardman Saturday after
noon, he was near by and could have
been summoned without any trouble. He
would have been there before the body

cumstances with his own eyes and could
have drawn a much better conclusion as
to the manner in which Hardman shot
himself. how he was sitting and also
seen and talked to the people who were
in the place at the time.
AS 1t is. the body was removed and
the coroner will be forced to hunt up a
number of people and get their evidence
aboutsthe entire affair. Coroner Paris
issues this statement as a warning to
people in order that they may not violate
the law in the future as some have done
in the past. He claims that he Is al

Coroner Paris is somewhat wroth over
people removing the bodies of murdered
people, or of people who commit suicide,
and he is making dire threats about what
he intends doing to the next person who
moves body until after he arrives and
authorizes the removal
The coroner states that the law on the
subject is very positive, and says that
the body Of a person killed by another
for which one may be arrested or who
commits suicide. is not to be removed
until he arrives. ascertains the facts in
the case and allows the body to be re-
moved.
Several times in the past the bodies Of
people who were shot and killed have
been moved to the undertakers before the
coroner arrived, and he says that this
has made his work twice as hard, besides
being a violation of the law.

rouND WOMAN AND CHILD.
After Fourteen Hundred Miles of
Travel in Search of Them.

Valdosta, Ca. Sept. 26.-After travel
ing over 1.400 miles in search of an I'M
faithful wife and his little boy, J. w.
Benson of st. Augustine, Fla. came
upon the woman face to face in this
city this morning. He had notified
Chief of Police Dampier that he was
looking for the woman and he pointed
her out to the officer as soon as he
saw her. She was on her way to work
at a dress making establishment on
Patterson street, but when she saw
him she changed her course and re-
turned to her boarding house on ROg-
ers street.
The officer followed her to the board
ing house and learned there that she
was living With man named George
Mier, of St. Augustine, who had also
deserted his wife and family. A war
rant had already reached the officer
for the arrest of Mier. and he was
promptly landed in Jail. The woman
admitted that she had run away with
Mier and that he had deserted his fam
lily but she said that she had never
been married to Benson and that she
was not his wife.
Benson claims that he was only in
search of his child a bright little boy
VINO mas Deen uN1ng with the couple
here. Benson followed the couple for
more than a week, tracing them up into
North Carolina and then back here.
The child will probably be given to
him and it is probab that a warrant
will also be sworn out against the wo-
man.
