Tells How Baby Died.

Following preliminary hearing before
Justice j. Abby Henderson in the police
court here last Saturday afternoon. Douglass
Shipley. who was arrested Friday on the
charge of numbering his 1-year-old baby
girl. Sarah Elizabeth Shipley, was COM
mitted to jail without bail to await the
action of the grand jury, which convenes
in November.
Besides the defendant, Mrs. Shipley was
the only witness to what transpired in the
little house on the farm of Ex-Sheriff C.
L. Howard, near Unity, where the Ship
leys lived and where the little girl met her
death.
Mrs. Shipley testified that her husband had
tortured the baby practically all night by
making it sit up on the floor alongside his
bed and slapping it every time it nodded
and that at daybreak he grabbed the help
less infant by the throat and choked it
three times. the last time until it turned
black in the face and its tongue protruded.
She asserted that throughout the night
she did not make a move toward sum-
monine assistance or protecting the child
for fear her husband would carry out
threat to kill her if she did so, but that
when she saw the little one turn black in the
face and realized for the first time that it
might be killed. then she fled from the
house in her bare feet and ran across
field and through woods until she reached
the home of Artemus Griffith, where she
telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Mareen Darby.
When she and Deputy Darby reached the
house, she said. the baby was dead. al
though its body was still warm.
Mrs. Shipley testified that just before
she fled from the house her husband de-
clared that he intended to kill the child to
get even with the witness, Mrs. Shipley
explaining that her husband was jealous
without the slightest reason.
The only other witness at the hearing
was DR.. c. H. Mannar. of this place. He
testified that the baby's face was purple
and there were several depressions and
scratches on its neck. There was blood
tumor, he said. extending over large por-
ton of the head and upper part of the
face and that there had been hemor-
rhage of the brain. He expressed the
opinion that death was caused by the
brain hemorrhage, but that the choking
may have contributed to it.
Shipley was represented at the hearing
by John A. Garrett and States Attorney
Bouic appeared for the State. The defense
at the trial will be insanity. it is under
stood, Attorney Garrett contending that all
of the actions Of Shipley the night the
child was killed tended to show that he
was mentally wrong and that no sane
man would have maltreated helpless
infant in the way he did and for the rea-
son he assigned.
States Attorney Bouic has in his pos
session statement signed by Shipley in
which the defendant admits that he struck
and chOked the baby but declares he had
no intention Of killing it.

The Court Of Appeals last Saturday
handed down lengthy decision. written
by Judge Burke. in which the authority
of the State Tax Commission to conduct
a general reassessment Of property is up
held.
The question was before the court upon
appeal from the Circuit Court for Frederick
county. in which Judges Urner, Peter and
Worthington had decided that the COM
mission lacked authority, because the peo-
Pile in 1915 adopted an amendment to the
State Constitution providing for separate
classifications Of property for purposes Of
taxation and the Legislature Of 1916 failed
to enact measures giving the Tax Commits
sion the machinery necessary to carry out
the intent Of the amendment.
Jurdge Burke's opinion stated that. while
the Legislature alone could provide the
classfcations, and while the last Legisla-
ture failed to do that, lit does not follow
as a result Of its failure Of duty In this
respect that any valid laws relating to
/ uooOoohShto hhhg hVh NC VI Aeh thnA
purpose. The authorities appear to be
uniform in support OF the proposition that
the failure of the Legislature to discharge
duty Of the character imposed by this
amendment leaves the valid and existing
laws. not in conflict with any Of its pro-
visions. in full force and effect"
The Tax Commission Immediately will
complete It's arrangements for the reassess-
ment. Most Of the machinery had been
provided when the litigation arose. and
very little will have to be done. The com
mission expects to complete its reassess-
ment before cold weather sets In. One
reason that the Court Of Appeals was asked
to hear the case before the regular 0cto-
Der term was that the Commissioner
feared 1t would be impossible TO assess the
mountain property during the winter.

ately forthcoming speeches. These include
the settlement of the threatened railroad
strike. the Mexican problem and European
questions, the legislative record of the Ad-
ministration. the record of the Republican

sives. 1t will be recognized that these are
the real issues of the campaign.
