to trial. which, lawyers say. makes the pro-
ceedings regular.
The evidence showed that the child was
terribly beaten and lacerated.
The little girl had just entered school,
being only seven years old, and through
diffldence refused to go on the platform to
recite. Miss Scott sent away the other stu
dents and, closing the door, beat the child
SO that for several days it was thought the
injuries would prove fatal.
The indignation throughout the county is
intense. Requisition will be made on the
governor of Tennessee for the delivery of
the young woman to the Virginia authori-
ties.
