SAD DEATH OF A
WRONGED GIRL
CHILD OF FOURTEEN SUPPOSED
she WAS WIFE OF MALONE
PlNKARD, BUT LEARNED BE-
FORE DEATH HE HAD A WIFE
ELSEWHERE.
Ths ApaIachicola Times of the past

Ths Apalachicola Times of the past
week contained the following:
Tuesday Of this week a little girl,
age II, supposed to be the wife OF
Malone Pinkard, who was recently ar
rested and taken to Calhoun county
to finish serving a sentence of i'm
prisonment, died at the boarding house
of Mrs. Summerford Water street.
Her death was caused from fever
Learning Of the pitiful case, several
ladies of Apa1achicola attended the
funeral and took quantities of flow
ers which were used in decorating
the grave in Magnolia cemetery
The child's name was Idella Nose
ly She was originally from Tennes-
see, but more recently Of Gilmore, Ala.
where her father. stepmother, sister
and two brothers reside. While living
at Elmore she met Malone Pinkard,
and he persuaded her to run away
with him and marry him. After the
marriage Pinkard told his young wife
that he had lot of money al ITALIA
hassee, Fla, and that it was necessary
for him to go there to get it. The
man and the girl set out on tramp
through the country, making their way
to Tallahassee.
Arriving at Tallahassee Pinkard
informed the girl that the money was
at Carrabelle, and they began their
tramp over the railroad track. The
girl told Mrs. Summerford that at
times she was faint from hunger tired
In body and soul. Her feet were bis
tered from the hot sands, and the few
clothes she wore were in rags.
Idella Mosley said that on July IS,
1918, she married Malone Pinkard at
Raymond, Ala. She died in thirteen
months after her marriage. On May
14th the couple reached Apalachicola
and sought a home with Mrs. Sum
merford, who gave the child a mother
ly sympathy and love. She told Mrs.
Summerford Of her many trials with
pinkard, and she carried to the day of
her death injuries received at his
hands.
A few days before her death an Of
ficer came to Apalachicola and arrest
ed Pinkard and took him to Dalkieth,
Fla, to finish serving a sentence i'm
POSED upon him by the court The
officer told the child that Pinkard had
a living wife and child. and this was
the first she knew that he was a mar
ried man. The real wife and child
also visited Apalachicola and con-
frmed the story Of the mans deprav-
ity. The news was a terrible blow to
the child, and this aggravated her
mental trouble and she soon sickened
and died.
The father is a poor man, with
decrepit son on his hands to support
His wages earned at a saw mill barely
give him enough money to feed HIM
self and family. He received a letter
from Apalachicola telling about his
daughter and he promised to send her
enough money to bring her to him, but
the dimes he could save were very
few, and the little pile grew so slowly
and has not reached the point where it
would have paid the passage home.

RED CROSS POsTOFF|CE
FOR PRISONERS OF WAR
(By Associated Press.)

VENICE, Nov. 7.-Through the eff
forts of the Red Cross society, some
twenty thousand letters and postcards
from Austro-Hungarian war prisoners
in Russian and Servia, have already
been delivered to their relatives and
friends at home. The correspondence
from both countries comes through
Roumania. The letters, of course, are
read by the official censors in the
country where they are written. The
Austrian papers admit that the CORES
pondence on the whole gives the i'm
preston that the prisoners are being
well treated. In Russia the wounded
receive medical attention and a grand
duke visited them in hospital at Mos
cow Nearly all the unwounded and
those who have recovered from their
injuries, are being sent to Omsk, in
Siberia. 1t is thought that later they
may be put to work in the mines there,
but nothing definite has been heard as
to this.

class of unemployed in Vienna, the
