FOUR VICTIMS
 OF THE PEND Another Child Is Dead
 From Burns. OTHERS WILL RECOVER Negroes Ask Sheriff to Give Them
 Prisoner. They Would Themselves Hang Him. gexroes VIII Petition for an lm- mediate Trial of the Inhuman
 Father Who Burned His

One more death was reported yes- terday from St. Margarets Hospital as q result of Jim Kennedy's brutal crime of burning the house in which his children and wife lay asleep. This brings the list of deaths up to four. The name of the little child which died yesterday morning was given as Maggie
 The mother is reported to be in a precarious condition, although she Is expected to recover. The grandfath- CT of the children. Horace Campb ell, Is not as seriously hurt as 1t was first thought Coming out from the burning house on Sunday night with blood streaming from his mouth and nose gave rise to the helief that he had swallowed ftame and burned his lungs, Examination yesterday showed that nothing of the kind had been done, and 1t is confidently expected that he will be out of the hospital in few days.
 The other child. while badly burned, Is in as good a condition as could be expected. Hopes are strong for the chfids recovery.
 Jim Kennedy. the negro who Is ac- cused of the burning of his children, is still at Police Headquarters, and the police are busy working up the evidence against him. Other than the mother-tn-iaw's statement that she saw him leave the burning house, no other direct eyewitness has been re- ported as found. There are several who say they saw him in the vicinity of the fire just little while before the blaze was noticed.
 It Is stated that when Kennedy was arrested at an early hour Monday morning by Captain Miles Smith and four officers, the negro was out of breath. dripping with precipitation and very much rattled. His clothing is said to have smelled very strongly of kerosene at the time of his arrest, and the nndiRg of a bucket on the premises in the rear of the house which is be- lieved te have held tn kerosene with which the house was fired, adds but another to the already strong link of ctrcumstantial evidence.
 Kennedy will not make any state ment. Other than stating at the time of his capture that he was innocent and saying that he left the house a little while before the fire was mo- ticed. he has reserved absolute silence at Police Headquarters. He sat yes terday in his cell under close watch seemingly perfectly content. He spoke not word yesterday, except brief an swers now and then to a persistent questioner of the Police force.
 While the police have been very busy on the case yesterday. the negrc population of the city have been very much disturbed Many negroes have told the police of Kennedy's repeated threats of getting even with his wife for keeping his children away from him since the separation.
 That the negroes of the city are de- termined in the matter of dealing jus tice to the negro brute was evidenced strongly yesterday morning when a deputation of five respected negroes of

 But we want 10 see that the brute is thoroughly punished as he deserves, SC said the chairman.
 Better let justice take it's regular course" said Sheriff Hood. If Ken nedy is guilty, the State viii see that he Is punished as he deserves.
 The party of negroes left the Court House knowing that they could not get the negro turned over to them.
 Judge Thomas's negro servant ap- peared at the Judges breakfast table yesterday morning and asked the Judge:
 "Jedge, when you swine hang dat Kennedy niggerT
 Judge Thomas replied that he didn't know that he was geing to hang him at all. He told his servant that the grand jury would investigate and if an indictment was returned the court would try the case at once to deter mine whether the negro was to be hung.
 But Jedge you ought te turn dat

 The negro population are, however. determined that the negro shall be punished as soon as possible in the manner which best befits the nature of his brutal crime. It was said yes- terday that a petition would be cireu- lated by the negroes of the city asking that A special session of the grand jury be called at once that an indictment might be found and the trial held with out waiting for the regular session In July.
 The four negro children dead were yesterday conveyed to a local negro undertaking establishment where they were prepared for burial. the funeral will take place this morning at 10 o'clock, the interment will be in Lin- coins Cemetery. Hundreds of the morbidly curious went to the under taking establishment yesterday to view the charred bodies of the chii-' dren.
