 Story of Dead Negress.
 Joseph Galloway, counsel for the ne- gress. did not desire to express his views on the subject, but he was free to tell all he knew about the case
 According to MT. Galloway. when Stella williams informed him Of hel condition, he asked her where the re- spoisibility lay. She placed 1t on Han- dall Howard, negro, who mas peen employed a number of years as turn key at the jail. When closely ques- tioned. however, the negress said she had had relations with one other per son in the jail, white prisoner. Hence' MT. Galloway was doubtful as to the truth of her story.
 Galloway said that later he saw Ran dall Howard and the turnkey emphat- ically denied he was responsible.
 According to MT. Galloway. Rahaai' Howard said the woman was given ac- cess to the male cell one day to clean up. but that this was the only occas- ion of this kind.
 The mother of the dead girl. the iaW, yer said, was indignant when she 1ouno out that her daughter was Tn sucn condition, and came to him TOT aoVIce, He told her he did not see that she nao any recourse. ,,., .hn,r grandmother. ks

DEATH BRINGS
 DISCLOSURES Grave Condition at the
 County Jail. GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION Negress, Incarcerated Ten Months,
 Bears Twins. Responsibility Placed Upon Laxity Of Discipline at Prison--Dead Girl
 Placed Blame On Turnkey
 and White Prisoner.

The death of Stella William. 15- year-old negress at St. Margaret's Hos- pital. Monday borught to light con- dition of affairs which has cast reflec- tions of the gravest character upon the conduct of the Montgomery county jail. and which will in all probability become subject to grand jury investi- gation.
 The young negress was committed to the county jail March 3. and re- mained there continually until Decem- Der 31, when she was removed to St. Margaret's Hospital. On that date she became the mother of twin male chill dren. The babies have been given over to the care of the mother of the dead woman.
 The February grand jury of Mont gomery county, 1t is expected, will en- ter into a thorough investigation of the conditions at the jail. This much was intimated by Judge W. H. Thomas. of the criminal division of the city court. yesterday.
 ''rhe matter was first brought to my notice by counsel for the woman a few days before she was taken to the hospital" said Judge Thomas, T told him I would take up the matter at the proper time and in the proper way. as the law should warrant"
 Judge Thomas had no more to say on the subject, but according to the statement of several members of the local bar, the only proper way c, bring the matter before the courts is through grand jury investigation.
 The negress was convicted of at- tempt at arson at the term of the criminal division of the City Court last February and sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. Her appeal is now in the Supreme Court, sentens having been suspended pending de- cision.
 Sheriff Refuses To Talk.
 Stella Williams attempted to burn the residence of Mrs. c. C. Coleman, 3o2 South Perry street, about a year ago. The evidence against her was convincing, and she was promptly con- victed.
 Sheriff W. R. Waller was asked last night for an expression concerning the condition revealed in the county jail.
 q am unable to say anything about it. said the sheriff: you will have to see the jailer. I am unable to give any information"
 Night Jailer Fabel of the county jail said he Is positive any laxity of dis cipline to which the condition of the negress might be attributed, did not occur at night. When he goes on duty, he declared, he locks the female and male prisoners in separate parts or the jail,
 Until work on building the new jail was begun, he said, female prisoners were allowed perfect freedom in the jail yard, and, at the same time, there were always three. four or five male "trusties" employed as cooks. who had

 The Dwight Company has been bringing foreigners Into the district, sending railroad tickets to the men in New York. It is believed that la1or agents heard of the men coming this way and met the train before change or cars had taken place at this pomt and the laborers were placed in other industries. There is such demand for labor that agents are making a close search in all directions.
