Was That of Belle Elmore.

Mrs. Adelaide Harrison, friend OF
Belle Elmore, swore that strands OF
hair found on the dismembered body
were exactly like the hair of Belle
Elmore. A piece of an undergarment,
also found in the cellar, was declared
to be exactly like that which the wit
ness had seen Belle Elmore wear.
The lower part of the dismembered
body bore scar, Mrs. Harrison said
Belle Elmore had such scar, and
that it was the result of an operation
But the counsel for the defense wrune
from the witness an acknowledgment
that hair of this color and texture, as

STATE CONVICTS Will
have PICTURES TAKEN

All state convicts are to have their
pictures looked" according to an or
der passed by the board of trustees,
and each state farm will be equipped
with a picture outfit for that purpose.
Not only will the new prisoners
coming in be photographed, but all
the old ones will be required to look
pleasant" while the man behind the
camera takes a shot at him. This
has been decided upon in order to
trace escapes. Heretofore there has
been no such methods in vogue at
the state farms, but with the number
of escapes recently the trustees de-
cided to establish a convict gallery.
The pictures will only be developed
where a prisoner makes his escape.
The negatives will be taken by the
photographer and preserved in the
archives of the state prison, for use in
case of an escape. There have been
so many escapes, and so little by
which to trace the average negro pris-
oper, that the trustees decided to try
the photo plan in order to capture
some of the escapes.
The outfits cost only $3.50 each,
and an order has been placed for each
of the state farms.

 When they had almost reached the city. Silva said he was knocked down by two or three men who suddenly appeared. He does not know whether his companion took part in the as- sault. As long as he was conscious he remembers that the men were beating him. When he recovered consciousness yesterday morning his wine was gone and his pockets were empty. He had a little less than s2 in silver when he left the bridge site for town.

MISTAKES BASS DRUM
 FOR GUNS MUzzLE
Officer Sullivan Is Victim of an
 Imaginary HoIdup.

Since the boy bandits gave few people of this section the opportunity to learn just how il feels to look down the muZzle of loaded gun. there has been more or less talk as to just how big the business-e end of a revolver really looks. Careful investigation seems to indicate that the opening of such a weapon is apt to look in size anywhere from that of a silver dollar up to that of a dinner plate.
 The band was playing in the city hall plaza last evening. It was de- lightful evening and the widows of the police station were wide open, permit ting gentle Zephyrs of air to float in and mingled with the strains of music created an atmosphere of peace and contentment. It was the hour of nine, the time when curfew sounds and all good children are supposed to be off the streets. It is only coincidence that this is also the hour for Police man Peter Sullivan to report off duty
 With his coat thrown open. his hat well back upon his head. Officer Sulli- van gazed out over the throng and
 
 pointed right straight into your face is pretty apt to loom up quite large Wouldn't be surprised if it looked about as large as a bass drum. An um. I guess I'll go home"
 He started for the door and had hardly set lis foot into the corridor when he was seen to throw his hands up with surprising alacrity and step backward. And then those behind him were treated to a heartrending scene.
 The concert had been concluded in the plaza and the musicians were bringing their instruments into the city hall to be put away until needed further. The man who operates the bass drum was among these and he carried the big instrument upon his shoulder so that the center of it came just about upon a level with Officer Sullivan's eye. Sullivan will tell you it never happened, but there are half dozen good men and true who will swear to the contrary.
