Sends Her Own Riding Hood
Story All Dolled Up to Chill
dren's Ward at Hospital.

Somewhere in this big town there is
little girl who wanted to do some
thing for those less fortunate than
herself, and there is the promise that
she is wise for her years. because she
picked out little orphans in the Chill
drcn's Ward at the Memorial Hospital
Nobody at the hospital knows her name
so they have asked this newspaper to
find her and tell her that she is Il dear
sweet soul who must come around and
see the happiness that was brought to
The orphans by her gift. 1t did not rep
resent great deal in dollars ana cents
but there was an awful lot of labor
behind it. ana the whole story of Lit
tie Red Riding Hood" was written in
her own childish hand, ana the illus
tiations. cut from bigger books. were
colorcd again and pasted on the sheets
that they might cheer boys and girls
hardly old enough to realize the joy
Of the Christmas time.
The package reached tho hospital
yesterday, ali neatly done up, without
blotch of ink, and with no name in
closed. for this tiny Samaritan believes
that charity without advertisement is
the charity that counts. The picture
shows Little Red Riding Hood and
her flaming checks as She tramps
through the woods with Il becfsteali
and onions for her Erandmother's
Christmas And then there is the wolf,
a big. Eaunt. grinning wolf, with "a
smile on his face, to make the orphans
smile before they learn that lie ate the
grandmother and put on her clothes
and waited there in her bed to eat the
little girl just before he pressed the
button. which would bring his valet
with Il pony of brandy.
And when the children in the hospital
ward were told by kind hearted nurse
that this other picture showed where
the wolf was preparing to make Il
sandwich out OF Little .Rcd Riding
Hood" she quickly turned over an
other pagc-and you would not believe
your cyes-but instantly the hunters
appeared in their red coats. and what
they did to that wolf was enough.
They took an aX and chopped off

steak and onions. 1t certainly served
that wolf right; If the case had gone
TO the jury he might have escaped with
ten years and then some Governor
Please would have come along and
pardoncd him.
OF course, Il wasn't much that the
little girl sent TO the ten orphans in
the Children's Ward. but it meant a
lot to them. and they laughed over it
ard cried over it and tailed over il.
and they didn't worry about the old
grandmother. who could, be expect
ed to live long anyway, and they
clapped their hands over the JOY of

about that. The hunters took her back

HELD FOR MURDER

of Edward Kelly on to

Dennis Dukes. colored, was sent on
to the grand jury yesterday morning
by Magistrate r. j. Purycar, of Hon
rico County, when he was arraigncd
on q charge of murder. Ho Will go on
trial early next month for killing Ed
ward Kelly. sixteen years old. on Tues
day afternoon at Bloomingdale Farm,
near Lakeside.
The preliminary hearing was very
brief. Dukes again admitted that he
was the real slayer of the boy. and
reiterated that the shooting was ac-
cidental. Meade Wingfield colorcd,
whose gun was used by Dukes told
The details OF the affair. He was an
eyewitness TO the crime, and it was on
his testimony that Dukes is being held.
Both negroes are being held at the
Ilenrico County Jail and all visitors
are kept away from them by order of
commemorative Attorney Frank T..
sutton, Jr Neither has secured coun-
sci. but will do so before the case goes
to the grand jury.
The county police arc investigating
a report that may lead to Il warrant
for WinEfield as the alleged accom-
plice of Dukes II Is said that reliable
parties overheard n conversat ton be-
tween the ,vo men, in which It was
stated that Kelly owed them money.
II is now believed that robbery was the
motive for the murder.
At the preliminary hearing yesterday.
Dukes took the situation calmly ard
spoke clearly and distinctly. His self
possessed manner had much to do with
the credenCe placed IN his original
story OF the killing, and he had APP
rarenuy regaincd his po!se before
coming into court Magistrate Pur-
year examined both men at consider
able length in regard to the details
OF the shooting. Dukes asserted sew
eral times that the gun went off acci-
dcntally. but WinEheld testified that
Dukes stepped back several feet be-
fore pulling the trigger
The grand jury Will convene on
January .. AS there are few witnesses
