TEACHERS ON THE COAST.

postcards and letters from teachers
who left here ON the transport. OF

SCHEME TO NAME
BROWN IS DROPPED
(Trom saturday,s AdvertIserl


Yesterday the word was passed
around that all talk of A. M. Brown
as a candidate for sheriff was to be
dropped, for the time being at least.
Those who had been notified that they
had been selected to go to the CON
vention and would be expected to hold
themselves in readiness to rally to
Browns support as soon as his name
came up, were told that the plan of
starting a convention boom had been
dropped and that they might consider
the scheme off. The reason given for
the change of plans was that Brown
had decided not to be candidate in
order to promote party harmony, the
news that he would be forced on the
ticket having raised big roar from
those who had not been taken into con
fidence in the matter.

Wanted to Be Rid of It So
 She Could RemaTy
BABE WAS TWO YEARS OLD
Body Is Hidden In Creek After Being Scalped and Choked to Death By Most lnhuman
 Mother.

Montgomery, May 24.-A special to the Advertiser from Linden. Ala. says:
 A horrible and revolting crime has just been discovered near the Tombig- bee river about 10 miles from this place.
 Four negroes have been arrested in connection with the case and are now In the Marengo county jail charged with murder. Their names are Lucy Williams Bill Pritchett, Buster Brown and Lucian Sanders. Lucy Will Hams Is the mother of the murdered child and she has confessed to Sheriff w. s. Grant and others that she and the three men in jail with her killed her 2-year-old girl and hid the body in the creek.
 While riding along the creek bank hunting a suitable place to cross the stream D. c. Compton. Jr., discovered the feet and lower limbs of the child sticking up out of the water and he pulled up the corpse only to find that it had been securely tied head down wards to a pole and the pole driven down into the muddy waters of the SfCchs lniS udu pttn dOnt oHc ddy during the past week, while the creek was considerably swollen, but after the creek went down to it's normal condi- tion the lower limbs of the child were left sticking up so that they could be easily seen by a passerby.
 The woman says that her motive for the horrible deed was to get rid of the child so that she could run away with Bill Pritchett
 She says the other negroes in jail with her helped her in the horrible crime and that after scalping the child 80 as to make the Identification of tn Q body more difficult In case 1t should be discovered. they choked it to death and then tied the body on the polo, carried it about two and half miles to the creek and put 1t down under the water. She said that 1t was still nov ing a little after its scalp was taken off and that they proceeded to choke 1t so as to make sure that 1t was dead.
 The woman is only about IS years old and talked freely about the death of the child. The men are between 20 and 30 years old.

Running Close for Second Place
 As Justice
DR, CUNNINGHAM IS SAFE
His Majority Over Booker In 62 Coun- tiec Is 3525-Bilbro Leads In the Same Counties With
 Less Than 500.

With five counties yet to be heard from In the official count of last Mondays democratic primary In Alabama, the con- test for second place on the supreme court is undecided. The contest is be- tween Simpson and Bilbro. Mayfield has a safe majority of about 5000 that can hardly be broken down in the five coun- ties yet to report.
 At the present time Bilbro is leading Simpson with a majority of something over 4O0 but friends of Judge Simpson claim that the missing counties will give him enough votes to break down this ad- vantage.
 The vote at least Is close enough to ee interesting. The counties to be heard from are Cullman, Winston, Fayette, Greene and Coffee.
 Dr. Cunningham is elected delegate 10 the national convention over F. W. Booker by a safe majority. His major ity in the counties already reported IS 9525, and will probably be even larger.

Grand Jury Will Investigate the
 Charge of Perjury
UNUSUAL PUBLIC INTEREST
Surety Company Offers to Make Bond for txN oman In the Sum of
 jo-she Appears
 Confident.

0 ork May 24-Another chapter in the most remarkable legal actions sS0 las been heard in the New York courts in long time will probably begin this week, when the charges of perjury against Mae c. Wood, the former news paper woman and lawyer of Omaha, who sued United States Senator Thomas C. Platt for divorce, will be laiG before a grand jury.
 Unusual public interest has centered n the Wood-Platt case, chiefly on account of the prominence of the aged Senator. Few men are more widely known than the ex-leader of the republican party in this state With the infirmities of age Leavy upon him, the Senator was com pelled to submit to the ordeal of the wit ness stand and the sharp cross-examina- ton of opposing counsel.
 Miss Woods suit involved many sen sational charges, and 1t was fortified by documentary evidence until Justice forgery and that he believed Miss Wood had committed perjury in order to sus- tain her charges.
 Miss Wood was taken to the Tombs prison on Thursday. During her stay there she has manifested cheerfulness un- usual in a woman committed under such serious charges, and has endeavored to comfort herself by her own conclusions, which she expressed at the time of ner arrest, that the burden of proof now rests upon those who are prosecuting her and that 1t will be more difficult to convict ner than to overthrow her action for divorce.
 For several days it appeared that the woman was without friends, but this was disproven on Saturday, when ball to the extent of S5000 was offered by a surety company This offer could not be ac- cepted owing to the lateness of the hour when the tender was made. but 1t prob- ably will be repeated tomorrow.
 Rumors that Miss Wood is supported by friends who are possessed of strong resources were revived by the offer uf bail, but her counsel declined to discuss identity and Miss Wood has made no public mention of such friends if she has them. Although Senator Platt test!- fled that it cost him s10,000 to get pos session of the letters he wrote to Miss Wood, he has since been quoted as say ing:
 q am sorry for the woman. but she undoubtedly deserves punishment
 Both he and Miss Wood are quoted as denying a rumor that the Senator 5 agents had anything to do with the offer of bail for her. Miss Wood, however, asserts that since her commitment she has been asked whether she would plead guilty to the perjury charge if she were paid for doing so and that she informed her questioner that she would die in Jail first.

Newark, O.. May 24.-Ernest Terwiger their unborn child by choking the mother to death during quarrel and tonight the confessed homicide Is under special guards in the city prison because many infuriated citizens set up a cry for sum- mary vengeance about the prison when the crime became known.
 The Terwilgers were married about set of society on account of her beauty and social qualities. Terwilger was jeal- GUS of the wife and domestic discord caused a separation.
 Recently the pair became reconciled and went to live at the home of Charles Nut ter. This morning one of the Nutters went to call the Terwilgers for break fast
 Getting no response the door was forced. Mrs. Terwilger was found dead on the bed. Her tongue protruded and there were finger marks on her throat.
 Terwiger was gone and a search was begun for him. No sooner had he been arrested than he admitted the double crime. He said that he had been out of work, and that he had taken several drinks with some friends yesterday. Re- turning home in the evening he said his wife asked him for money to buy baby clothes. He told her that he had no money for her, and the quarrel waxed warm. Old troubles were revived and recriminations aroused the husbands an- ger to such pitch that he seized his wife by the throat, bent her over the bed and choked her till she ceased to struggle
 With his brain still muddled with liquor Terwilser. thinking he had only choked the woman into submission, so he says, left the house in order not to renew the quarrel.
 As soon as the details of the crime be- came known to the many friends of Mrs. Terwilger great crowd gathered around the jail and demanded the prisoner. When special guards were placed on duty the crowd finally melted away and 1t is thought that no attempt to storm the prison will be made tt
