 FALSE AFFIDAVIT.
She Swore Child Was Onsprfng Of Ftrst Husband in pension Case-aev- ernment Claims Second Hus-
 band is its Father

On the question as to whether her first husband or her second, IS the father of the child of Alice Perry. negress. depends the guilt or innocence of the mother, who is under indict- ment in the United States court charged with making a false pension affidavit to Pension Examiner w. K. King. The woman was arrested on the Pettus place near McGehee's Switch and brought to Montgomery by Deputy Marshals Gladden. Harrison and Alex Kelly.i
 She was first married. it is said. to A negro by the name of Watson, and, after his death became the mother or a child. The negress. soon after her first husbands death, married second negro by the name of Perry.
 The first husband of the woman. 1t seems, was entitled to a pension under the new pension service act. and his minor children became the beneficial ries of the penison act upon his death.
 Alice Perry made application to Pen- sion Examiner King and swore to an affidavit that the child was the on- spring of her first husband, and asked for the pension. The matter was car ried before the February grand jury and she was indicted. The govern ment alleges that the first husband Is not the 1atner or tn0 Chiiu oho s"SAo- fore accuses the woman of perjury in making the affidavit.
 Alice Perry is said to bear good reputation among the white people Of the community in which she lives, ana one of the citizens of that section said yesterday that the sentiment is in fav- or of the woman, the belief being that she told the truth in regard to the parentage of the child.
 The negress made $25o bond yes terday and was released pending Jury trial in the federal court.
