A gruesome find was that which
a man by the name of Roach made
last Friday afternoon at the South
ern Railway trestle over Chauga, be-
tween Madison and Westminster.
Mr.. Roach's attention was attracted
by a travellers grip lying near the
abutment OF the trestle, and on in
vestigation it was found that the
grip had been thrown With much
force, bursting with the impact, re-
vealing the body Of baby boy Of
between one and two months OF age,
The body was partly exposed from
the rent in the grip, which was
cheap affair. An ugly bruise was on
the head of the child, which might
have been made when the grip struck
the ground. but opinion is held that
the child had been killed before be-
ing put into the grip and thrown
from 4 passing train on the South
ern Railway. No clue rs to the per-
pctrator OF the fiendish deed has
been found. and in all probability
will never be. For a quarter of a
mile, maybe a longer distance, along
the railway right-of-way articles Of
child's clothing were found scatter
ed The clothing is reported to be
OF more than ordinary quality, and
it is thought to be almost settled
that the grip and child were thrown
from a passing passenger train,
though it is possible that these fea-
lures OF mute evidence of the crime
might have been arranged by some
one to deceive the officers and the
public. DR.. G. NJ. Walker accompa-
MED Magistrate Marett. Of Westmin-
ster. to the scene and an inquest was
held, the jury returning the finding
that 1.-The deceased infant came to
its death At the hands Of party or
parties unknown to the jury, hy be-
ing thrown from train" Rural
Policeman w. L. Littleton went at
once on receipt of information con
cerning the finding Of the body and
has been lending every energy to
picking up some clue that might
lead to the finding Of the guilty par
tics
