ex-officio justice of the peace and
acting coroner. a young woman,
the daughter of one of the most
prominent families of Oakvale, has

The investigation was held yes
terday in OaKvale before acting
Justice James K. Polk, behind clos
ed doors. the county attorney ap-
pearIng for the State and conduct
ing the investigation, and beyond
what was told by these officers
nothing has been gwen out Of what
developed at the trial. The de-
fendant is beautiful young wom-
an of about twenty-one, who has
many friends in the community.
These stoutly- declare that she has
been made the victim Of an unjust
prosecution. and maintain that she
is innocent Of any wrong.
The infant was dissected by 3
physician. who said that it was
perfectly developed in every way,
and that it had lived and had prob
ably been killed soon after birth.
The tiny BODY was found by school
Children in the woods not far from
the house where the suspect lives
This fact caused suspicion to first
point its finger in that direction.

action of the grand jury, and ha'
returned to her home.

ed with 134 one-thousand-doll
bills q New Yorl certified check
i for $45, 900 and a suit case and
Gladstone bag crammed full of bills
Of smaller denomination and gold
coins, a mysterious stranger has
just finished giving Atlantans a
perfectly good imitation of Death
Valley Scotty's free spending. and
has departed for Havana, Cuba,
with Miss Louise Whittimore, a
pretty manicurist. whom he took
as his bride while here.
After short stay in Cuba they
will go to New York from which
city they will go to Europe for an
extended tour. The young Croesus
registered at a local hotel as A. w.
Carmichael, of New York, but is
said to hail from BeunUs Aires.
He asked to be, given an entire
floor. but finally was persuaded that
suite of four rooms would be
sufficient. He then proceeded to a
tailoring establishment, where, he
hordered an outfit of sixteen suits,
paying for them in advance some
thing over $1,000. But this was
only a start.
Carmichael visited the hotel
barber shop the first day. where he
met and fell in love'with Miss Whit
timore and made an engagement
for luncheon. Not satisfied with
her costume, he peeled out five
500 bills and sent her out to get
some clothes beftting the occasion.
When she appeared he was dis
satisfied with her lack of jewels,
and took her to a leading jeweler.
where he presented her with a
large diamond ring and pearl neck
lace.
Carmichael also visited garage
where he rented an automobile at
the rate of S. an hour for as long
as he should want it. At the end
of his visit he paid the owner $3.50,
although he had not used the ma
chine more than half the time.
! Accompanied by Miss Whitti-
more and her mother, Carmichael
went from here to Tampa. Fla.
enroute to Cuba. Yesterday Charles
BelleisIe, who acted as his chauffeur
while in Atlanta. received tele-
gram from Carmichael instructing
lhim to meet him in New York and
accompany him on an extended
European trip. Carmichael also
sent transportation and $l00.
Carmichael is described BY tht
hotel attaches as good-looking anC
of the blonde type. about 20 years
oid. He was quiet and unassnm,
ing and apparently interested ir
nothing but having a good time.

YOUNG LADY
KILLED IN YAZOO
By 20 Year Old Youth.
Sensational Develop
ments Expected.

Yazoo City, Miss, March g.
Sensational Developments sare ex-
pected ia the investigation OF the
alleged accidental killing of Miss
Katie Cox in the country store OF
j. C. johnson at Nod, several days
ago.
Miss Cox was slain by bullet
from the pistol of James Dixon, a
youth of about twenty years OF age,
and 1t is claimed in behalf of the
Young man that he was shooting at
a negro, the bullet went wild, and
Miss Cox, who was directly in its
path, was struck in the head, death
resulting instantly.
Dixon was very drunk at the
time, but the local authorities are
inclined to doubt the accident
theory, and County Attorney George
will insist that the prisoner be
held without bail to await the
grand jury.
1t is currently reported that evil
dence will be offered at the prelim-
mary trial to show that Dixon
made the statement about month
ago at one of the local livery sta
bles in the presence of one of the
men employed there, that he in
tended to kill Miss Cox, and that
the motive for his enmity was the
fact that Miss Cox had objected to
Dixon's sister being re-employed
by Mr.. johnson, for whom both
Miss Cox and Miss Dixon had work.
ed. Whether or not there is any
ground for these reports cannot
now be ascertained, but the real
facts will no doubt be brought to
light at the preliminary hearing,
which will PROBABLY be held within
the next week or ten days. II 1t
should turn out that Dixon had
made the alleged threats, it will
furnish motive for the crime, and
put different aspect on the whole
case.
1t has since been learned that the
negro, Peter Coleman, was stand
ing at the side OF Dixon when the
shot was fired. and that Dixon
pointed his pistol directly in an
opposite direction at the store.
where the young lady was standing
just inside the door, and in view
of Dixon. So that the first reports
that Dixon shot at the negro are
evidently erroneous.
Dixon was brought back from
Lexington yesterday evening and
lodged again in the local jail. de
was taken to Lexington on the day
Of his arrest. as a matter Of pre-
caution, but when Sheriff Tom
Harris, who has been away for the
past month. returned home, he de-
cided to bring the prisoner back
here. and will see that he is given
ample protection. though ii is moi
believed that there will be any at.
tempt on the part Of the relatives
OF Miss Cox to offer any violence tc
the prisoner.

ATTEMPT is MADE TO
GUST ESTIMATOR ROBINS
Denies, However, That He Is Resi-
dent Of Crosse Pointe and Re-
tains His Seat on BOARD.

Monday nights meeting of the board
of estimates took an unexpected and
somewhat sensational turn when Esti-
mator John Delor, of the Seventh
ward, demanded the resignation of
Estimator-at-Large Herman G. Rohns,
on the ground that the latter is resi-
dent Of Crosse Pointe.
Rohns' was not present when Delor
made the charge and Estimator Cor
don was protesting that II was not
fair to attack a man without giving
him a chance 20 be heard in his own
behalf, when Robins himself walked
in. He was called on for an explana.
tion and, while admitting that he is
now making his home with his moth
er In Crosse Pointe. he still maintains
a residence for his family at No. 1884
Mt Elliott-ave. He declared, more
over, that he is not the only city Off
cial who makes his home in Crosse
Pointe at least a part of the time.
Rohns' explanation was satisfactory
and he was allowed to keep his seat.
Mr. Robins was further criticised
for having been absent from several
of the previous meetings and for not
calling q meeting OF the committee
on the fire budget. Of which he Is
chairman. To the first accusation he
replied that several of the members
are antagonistic TO him because he
usually has a good deal to say at the
meetings he does attend.
II don't believe in sitting in my
seat and keeping still" he declared.
Robins agreed TO call meeting of
his committee for next Monday, which
was satisfactory to the other mem.
bers.
