DEPUTY FRIZZLE STALLED
BY A 2-M0NTH-oLD BABE

When Deputy Bill Frizzle raped on
the door Of a negro cabin near Pike
Road at 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
ne awoke the people for whom he was
looking, negro man and woman. And
between them lay their two months
old baby, also awakened and squal1ing.
Deputy Bill had warrants for the
man and his wife, Charlie and Lula
Galloway. But he had no warrant for
the two-months' pickaninny.
And he was puzzled. To bring the
old folks to town. and to leave the
youngster didn't seem right; to bring
the baby. TO jail seemed equally out Of
order. So there he was. in a quandary.
He telephoned the jail in town for
Instructions, and still wasn't satisfied.
They told him over the te1ephone to
come ahead with It.
But the idea OF "totingr the baby to
town, while the parents we're hand
cuffed together, didn't strike him as
exactly the correct thing for a deputy.
so ne left the baby. and brought the
old folks. and now husband and wife,
mother and father, are locked up at
the county jail, awaiting trial on the
charge OF burglary and grand larceny.
They were indicted In 1908, for burg

Mr.. Pillans, in his careful review

of events that followed, including the
lynching of the negro slayer, wound
up with the declaration that the dep

seemed to think it their duty to de-

an army of lynchers, 1000 strong, was
necessary to get the attention of the
Sheriff of the county. It was his
bounden duty to have taken cogniz-

were proven in this case, he said. It
was a clear showing of "unfltness for

to defend the jail after hearing such
