TO INVESTIGATE
INFANTICIDE CHARGE,
Recorder VIII Hear story of Girl
Charged with Murder.


Charged with Murder.
In Police Court this morning Recor-
der Myrick will probably investigate
the death of the infant of Helen Ell
bert, the 15-year-old mulatto arrested
by Mounted Patrolman F. ]. Kearney.
The girl is a patient at the Georgia
Infirmary where she was sent by the
police surgeon, but it is expected will
be able to make statement to the
Recorder to-day. p Her story has all
ready been given In the Morning News
and some of the police are inclined to
believe that it is true, and that she
is not really guilty of infanticide.
Ben Lloyd, who has been employed
as porter in the jewelry establish
nent of A. L. Desbouillons, will be ar
raigned by Detective Murphy for the
theft of rings from his employer.
Lloyd was caught with the goods by
the plain clothes man several days
ago. He gave bail for his appearance
at preliminary examination. The
stolen property was recovered by De-
tective Murphy before the jeweler was
aware that it had been taken.
Unless the uniformed men get busy
during the early morning hours the
Recorder will not have a very heavy
docket and the session will not be an
interesting one. While more than d
score of arrests have been made the
majority of the offenders are charged
with drunkenness. A negro woman was
arrested during the afternoon for in

A Diagnosis of Kentucky.

Kentucky's hills are full of rills
And all the rills are lined with stills,
And all the stills are full of gills,
And all the gills are full of thrills,
And all the thrills are full of kills.
You see, the feudists dot the hills
And camp along the little rills,
Convenient TO the busy stills
And thirsting for the trimming gills,
And when the juice his system fills
Each feudist whoops around and kills
Now, if they'd only stop the stills
They'd cure Kentucky's many ills
Men would be spared to climb the hill
And operate the busy stills.
However, this would mean more gills
And that, of course, would mean NOR,
thrills,
Resulting in the same old kills.
SO all the hills and rills and stills
And all the gills and thrills and kills
Are splendid for the coffin mills
And make more nndertaker's bills.
