connection with the lynching of George I.
White last Monday night. was to-day given
a hearing by Magistrate Hollis, who, after
taking the testimony of several witnesses,
discharged the prisoner on the ground that
there was no evidence to hold him. The
decision was greeted with cheers.
Danger of further lawlessness as result
of the lynching has not yet passed. While
there is visible evidence that another
outbreak will occur, there is feeling of
uneasiness which has caused the police to
take precautions. Late this afternoon sa-
looms and all other public places were re-
quested to close tonight. This was gen.
orally done. Mayor Fisher tonight issued
a statement requesting parents to keep
their boys off the street at night.
There were no arrests made to-day in di
rect connection with the lynching, and the
police give intimation that they contem

feeling among the citizens that the authori-
ties will let the matter drop in order to
bring about peace and quiet

the inspector to find whatever seemed to

master general to find the explanation and
the truth. This was done by probing the
Tulloch statement when il was presented.

Writ of Habeas Corpus Issued at
Mothers Request to Secure 1t
from Foster Mother.
WOMEN CLASH IN COURTROOM
MRS. JENNIE OTTO DECLARES THE
MOTHER SENT POISONED FOOD.
Judge Allen Allows Mrs. Margaret
Powers Temporary Custody of the
a Infant-Case OF Unusual Nature.

A wee baby boy, scarcely two months
old and its mothers love for it, was the
cause of writ of habeas corpus in the
Circuit Court yesterday. Judge Allen was
puzzled for moment as to what was the
best course Of action to take in the case.
The youngster. Clarence Powers, who
has been sick, was taken by its mother,
Margaret Powers. of Greensburg, to the
home of Mrs. Jennie Otto, on Coble street,
near White river, some time ago. Mrs.
Powers was to care for the child and was
to receive 81 a month for its board Mrs.
Powers went to the Otto home a few days
ago to get the child, intending to take 1t
away with her. Mrs. Otto. who has be-
come greatly attached to the little one.
refused to allow the mother possession of
the child Later the mother returned with
an officer, but Mrs. Otto still refused to
give the baby up.
In her complaint the mother claims that
the child is Ill and that she sent doctor to
the Otto home, but the foster mother would
not admit him for fear he would take the
child away When the parties appeared
before Judge Allen, Mrs. Otto carried the
child In her arms and refused to allow
the mother to take it. The women became
angry and the judge told her the court
would take charge of the child If she did
not keep quiet. She gave as her reason
for keeping the child that the mother had
sent food TO the child that contained car
bolic acid and charged that the mother
was trying 10 poison her baby. She has
box of albuminous food, which, she said
she would take to the Board of Health
office to see If 1T contained anything in
furious.
The judge told the woman that unless she
employed an attorney and could show that
she was entitled to the custody of the in
FAINT he must give the child to the mother
Finally Mrs. Otto restored the infant to it's
mother, who joyfully received it. The
judge postponed the matter until next
Tuesday and allowed the mother to take
the child away with her. A Mrs. Hoover
who was with the mother, was commits
soined by the judge to see that the child
was properly cared for and the mother
was cautioned not to leave town until the
case is decided. SO the child is to be under
the care of the court.
