The des cription OF the murderer tallies

others on the way to the station. The girl
was walking behind her aunt picking
flowers, when the negro emerged from be-
hind clump Of trees, grasped her about
the waist and started with her toward the
woods. He evidently thought she was
alone.
The aunt heard the child's screams and,
screaming herself. startedin pursuit. The
hubbub aroused the party ahead, who
turned to Join in the chase. Mrs. Cousins
grabbed stick and when she had caught up
with the negro she belabored him over tho
head and shoulders until he threw the little
girl down and ran, brandish:ng q revolver
as he disappeared. Miss Curry notified the
police Of the surrounding towns and they
