A BUNCH OF MURDERERs
-Four Are in Jail Charged With
Capital 0ffenSes. Two Women
to Answer for Bloody Deeds.

When the superior court convenes
on the fourth Monday in next month
an unusual number of prisoners
charged with capital offenses will
have to be disposed of, and it will not
be surprising if the hemp rope in
dustry receives an impetus.
This is the largest number of per-
sons charged with murder the county
has had on hand at one time in many
years, and another Unusual feature
connected Herewith is that two of the
parties charged with bloody crimes
are women. One of these is Eliza
Daniel, the Shellman negress who is
held for killing her daughters infant
and cOncealing the body in the negro
cemetery in Dawson, and the other is
Tory YarbrOugh, who Drained her
husband with limb the other night.
Hop Baldwin is another one of the
quartette, and his sensational crime
is well remembered. He killed Louis
Scott near PARROT last December and
buried the body of his victim in the
woods on the edge of an old pond.
Asbury Walker, convicted at the last
term of court of killing George Casey
several year ago, is still in jail
awaiting the hearing of a motion for
a new trial. He is under life sentence
in the penitentiary.
Besides these, there are several 9TH
er parties charged with homicides who
are out on bond.
