NAUGHTY GIRLS THESE.
Poured croton OIL over Teachers Din
ner and Poisoning Wac Result.


ner and Poisoning Wac Result
Croton oil is alleged to have been
the article used by two young women
of the vicinity of cambridge, Ca, with
which to revenge themselves upon
their teacher. The general opinion is
that the girls used the oil as joke.
Professor George Byrne, a venera'
Bile and much loved teacher, about
sixty years of age, conducts the school
at Bethany church. He boards at the
home of Everett Barber, highly re-
spected farmer, and spends the day at
the school house, where he carries his
well-filled dinner pail and there par
takes of the midday meal in the midst
of the usual throng Of noisy pupils.
He is a teacher OF the good old school
and believes in the enforcement of
strict discipline.
A few weeks ago it became his duty
to severely reprove a couple of his
young lady pupils for inattention TO
their books. These girls did not take
kindly TO the reproof and determined
to get even with the old man. So the
next Saturday while in town they pro-
cured a 10-cent bottle of croton oil. On
Monday at the morning recess hour
they secretly poured the contents OF
the bottle over the contents Of the
old mans dinner bucket, consisting
Of hard boiled eggs, fried ham and
gravy, biscuits and tea cakes, making
an opening so that the oil would pen
citrate the eggs.
At the noon hour the professor, not
feeling well, ate only one egg. In a
very short time afterwards he was
convulsed with pain and was compel
ed to dismiss the school He attrib-
uted his illness, from which he recov-
cred, to natural causes, and not to
the poisonous medicine.
When he reached home at night, the
good housewife. seeing the dinner of
the professor untouched, mingled it
with the supper she was preparing
Consequently, in a short time after
supper, the whole Barber family and
the professor, too, were taken vic
ientfy i'll. A physicians services were
obtained as soon as possible and he
pronounced them poisoned, but was
unable to ascertain its nature.
They all remained in bed for a
week and some of them have not yet
fully recovered.
After the news of the poisoning be
came known in the neighborhood one
of the school girls told that she saw
the young ladies when they emptied
the contents of a bottle in the pro.
fessor's bucket When approached
about the matter they frankly con.
fessed what they had done. The school
trustees met and suspended them. but
beyond that it Is thought that no fur
Their action will be taken The school
was closed for two weeks Il eonse.

REPRIMAND FOR HITCH.
courtnartiaI at Savannah Formulates
"eecret" Verdict in Captains
case-Lleut. Nell Arraiened:

The couTtmartial sitting in trial on
the case Of Captain Robert M. Hitch,
charaed with dereliction Of duty IN
connection with the lynching and
burning of Reed and Cato at States
boro, concluded its hearing at Savan-
nah Wednesday morning and arrived
at a verdict during the afternoon, af-
ter four hours elaboration behind
closed doors.
The verdict is sealed, and will not
be made public until it has reached
the state authorities in Atlanta. The
Morning News in its report of the
case says:
Though the courtmartial will not,
of course, make public its finding in
the case of Captain Hitch, the extent
to which the court went is reasonably
certain. Captain Hitch has not been
recommended for dismissal, but in
stead will be reprimanded in a pub
lie manner by the governor.
"It is possible that temporary sus-
pension has also been recommended.
The limit of punishment which can be
inflicted by a courtmartial's recon-
mendation on a militia officer is dis
missal from the service, fine of ST.
900 or a prison sentence Of one years
duration"
The finding in the Hitch case will
not be sent to the adjutant general
until the cases of Lieutenant Nell,
Lieutenant Morrison, Lieutenant Cone
and Lieutenant Griner have been con
Guided
At three o'clock the doors were
closed by the court martial for the
consideration and preparation OF the
verdict.
An hour later the doors were open
ed. and the court announced that the
case of Lieutenant Nell would be 1t
once taken up. D. C. Barrow. counsel
for Nell, entered a general denial OF
all the charges.
Captain r. M. Hitch was the first
witness. His testimony was a repeti-
ton Of that which he had previously
given in his own behalf.
