NISTRIAL WAS
The result IN
CHILDERS CASE
KENNEDY HAS BEEN FREED
No New Trial For ChiIdGrS
Before Next Spring

(Special to The Times-Recorder)
Leesburg, Ga, Nov. 1O.-After hav-
ing been out over night and during
q larger part of the day, the jury in
the Childers case this afternoon final
" reported that it was unable to agree
upon verdict whereupon Judge Lit
tlejohn declared a mistrial.
In view of the failure of the prose-
cution on yesterday to make out Il
clear-cut and definite case against the
defendant, the verdict came some
what in the nature of a surprise,
though it was prettey generally be-
lieved after the jury had remained out
during the morning that a mistrial
would result.
In their efforts to arrive at YER
dict the jury came before the judge
during the morning and asked for
repetition of the judges charge con-
cerning circumstantial evidence, also
as to the connection between motive
and circumstantial evidence, but
stated to the jury that he could not
understand the other request so as to
give them any additional understand
ing concerning it.
When the jury reported that it was
unable to agree upon verdict, the
statement was made by the foreman
that the division in sentiment among
the jurors was indicated by the ratio
of to 4, though no official statement
was made to the court as to which
side was championed by the majority
1t is understood that eight jurors were
in favor of conviction and four in ia
vor of acquittal.
A new trial will, of course, be
granted, though it cannot come up
until the spring term of Lee superior
court, which convenes next May, as no
adjourned term was suggested. 1t is
understood that bail will be requested
for Childers, the granting of which
will lie in the discretion of Judge Lit
teliohn. AS a natural result of the
mistrial, Kennedy was discharged
from prison to-day, as the grand jury
had brought in no bill of indictment
against him.
1t is predicted that when the new
trial is granted Childers, it will not
be held in Lee county but that a
change Of venue will be demanded so
that the case may be tried in some
neighboring county where an i'm
partial jury may be secured. The
sentiment of the jurors in the recent
trial shows clearly the strong public
sentiment against Childers even here,
as every talesman from the Smith
vile district was stricken from the
list and the jury selected from others.
The opinion is generally expressed
that with a change of venue, Childers
will be acquitted in the new trial.
Though Kennedy has been dis
charged, he may be re-arrested at any
time, as the case against him will
doubtless be prosecuted further. 1t
was rumored here that in the event
of the acquittal of Childers, both Ro-
bert Kennedy and his father, j. F.
Kennedy, would be indicted for the
murder of Mrs. Childers. The grand
jury did return a bill of indictment
against j. F. Kennedy for violation OF
the prohibition law.
The fall term of the court closed
with to-day's session, Judge Little
John and the out-of-town attorneys
having left for their homes to-
night.

The truth is. the name was created by

INSTANT DEATH.
It Is Not So Quick but That the Mind

II Is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.
It is questionable if such a phenom-
enon as instant death is known to the
scientist and Investigator. Physicians
and surgeons tell us that death by gun
shot wound is the easiest mode of
terminating life: yet. rapid as such a
mode of taking off must necessarily be.
the body has leisure to feel and time
to reflect and on rare occasions even TO
act.

adherents of the Spanish monarch to

were not more than an hour behind
the negroes on Turkey creek, in the

negroes were arrested here, having
escaped from the Pineville Jail.
Their names are not known. They
are charged with liquor selling.

FIND SKELETONS OF
PREHISTORIC GIANTS

Pine Grove. KY, Nov. 25.-Evi-
dences of a prehistoric race have
been discovered by Hugh Yates, a
prosperous land owner of this coun-
ty, on his farm, a few miles west of
here. While eXcavating beneath a
high cliff on his place, Mr.. Yates
came upon an immense grave con-
tanning a human skeleton. The
frame was of giant proportions.
His curiosity aroused, Mr.. Yates
called in some neighbors, and, arm
cd with picks, they burrowed their
way into the side of the cliff and
found an ancient sepulcher crowded
with human skeletons, some of
them larger than the one first found.
One of the frames measured - feet.
Along with the skeletons were
found curiously wrought Jewels and
strange ornaments, while cooking
vessels and musical instruments Of
queer design were unearthed in
great profusion. The diggers are
still at work and expect to make
even more important finds.

1t is serious undertaking and re-
