BLOOD TESTS FIGURE
IN MIXED BABY CASE

the mixed babies" case is a clip
ping in a Washington paper, quot
ing Mrs. Edith W. Kinhead, a dis
trict government employe and a
student of astrology, to the effect
that Louise Madeline is the Pitt
mans child. The clipping said that
her opinion will be submitted to the
Fulton courts.
Mrs. Kinhead has made charts of
the two cases." says the Washington
paper. THE first chart is that of
the baby born at 1892 a. m. to Mrs.
born at $3.50 to Mrs. Pittman. In
considering the two cases, Mrs. Kin
head states she made her study from
the position of the moon at the ex-
act time of the birth. Claudis
Ptolmey, the famous astrologist,
claims the moon is the greatest in
dicator of life and death, the chart
says in explanation.
Mrs Kinhead says the chart
shows the moon at the time of the
birth of Mrs. Gamers child to be
most evilly besieged and absolutely
unbefriended.' There appears to be
no chance of life for the child, no
assistance for her anywhere Mrs.
Kinhead says in her opinion. She
goes further to point out that the
moon at this time was in a position
known to astrOlogists as the House
of Death The chart shows also
that the moon at this time vas APP
proacching the evil planets, Cran1s
On this basis, Mrs. Kinhead reaches
the conclusion that Mary Elizabet
the little child that died, belonged to
the Gamers
Mrs. >kinhead says that the moons
position at the time of the birth of
Mrs: Pittman's child shows that she
would live to be at least. fifty-two
years of age.
Although tie Kinhead solution
bears out the interests of his clients,
Attorney Austin SCOTS both at it and
at the blood tests
They consulted Alexander, the Man
Who Knows, and the PSYCHOLOGISTS, and
both decided against the Gamers -
said Mr.. Austin. After this blood
test, the only recourse I can see that
they have is an appeal to the ouiia
board, and / have as much faith in
that as in any Of the other methods
OF determination suggested. AS far
as I'm concerned, I'm willing to try
the issue according to the laws of
Georgia."
Attorney Austin recently filed pe-
ton to dismiss the Gamers habeas
corpus proceedings. This petition
will be heard in the superior court on
May IA. If it is declined, the case
Will then go to a jury.

Jack Kelloy Declares
Bunco Gang Here Had
Charlie Dorsey Killed

GRIFFIN, Ga, May 11.-Jack KEEL
10y, under death sentence in the
Spalding county Jail for the murder
of Leroy TreXler, an Atlanta taxi
cab driver, is the center of another
sensation here today. 1t was learned
this morning that Kelloy had in
formed Solicitor DorsIy, of the city
court of Atlanta, that he could give
important information relative to the
murder of Charlie Dorsey, who was
killed on South Boulevard, in At
lanta, several weeks ago, and that
special officers were on the way
from Atlanta to interview kelloy.
These officers. Deputy Plennie Miner
and County officer Marvin Baker, it
is understood, had not arrived here
at noon.
Seen at his cell, Kelloy asserted
that he was a member of the "bunco
gang in Atlanta from 1913 until the
time of his arrest last year. He said
that the bunco gang had prescribed
both Drexler and Dorsey and had
both put out of the way" TreXler
was killed, he said, because he knew
too much about the gambling opera
tions of the bunco men, and Dorsey
because he knew too much about
the blind tiger business. He assert
ed that he did not kill Trexler, but
gave the name OIL anoLhef man, WHo'
he said, did it.
With reference to the death of
Dorsey, he said that big fat man"
who posed as a detective, but who in
realty was at the head of the boot
logging syndicate in Atlanta, doubt
less could tell all about the murder
Of Dorsey. He gave the name Of a
man and told where his office was.
Kelloy gave it as his opinion that
another taXicab driver killed Dorsey.
He could not recall his name, but
described the car he usually drove
and gave the name of a man he work
ed for. He said that on one occa-
sion he lent this man pistol with
which to shoot Dorsey.
Officers and others who have heard
Kelloy's story generally put little
credence in it, in as much as the
prisoner has from time to time given
out statements Of a more or less
irresponsible nature. It is pointed
out that the bunco investigation has
been going on in Atlatna for weeks,
and the murder of Dorsey took place
several weeks ago, and yet Kelloy
has been silent all this time.

Stacker )ERCDOLL
DEF|ES AMERICA
To CAPTURE HIM

EBERBACH, Germany, May IL
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, arch draft
dodger, defied the United States gov
eminent today.
Informed by the United Press of
the statement by Chief of Staff March
that the war department is determin-
cd to get Bergdoll out of Germany
at any price" the Stacker said:
You can tell the world that we
won't be captured in Germany"
Bergdoll asserted that American
representatives signed an agreement
when two U. S. soldiers were re-
leased after an attempt to kidnap
him, not to modest him or his chauf-
feur, Eugene Stecher, and that the
United States is honor bound to leave
him alone.
Bergdoll snapped his fingers over
the investigation being held at WASH
ington. He showed no concern over
the grilling to which his mother was
to be subjected by a congressional
committee.
Living a life of ease here, and
looked up 10 as brave man VINO
defes a powerful government, Berg
doll and his chauffeur are enjoy
ing themselves. Much of their time
is spent in the big automobile which
figured in the incident at Karlsruhe
last winter when Carl Neuff and
Frank thinner, of the American
army, attempted to kidnap him at
the railway station there.
1.-The Baden government released
those fellows-Neuff and Zimmer-on
the sole condition that the Americans
shouldJ promise not to modest us
again. Bergdoll said.
AT Karlsruhe, when the men were
released from Jail, American repre-
sentatives signed an agreement guar
anteeing the safety of myself and
Stecher in Germany.
whether Americans possess any
sense of honor or whether they think
an agreement is only a scrap of pa
per remains to be seen"
Bergdoll held the ability of United
States authorities lightly. He in
dictated that he would be willing to
pit his own ingenuity against all at
tempts to seize him.
You can tell the world" he stated
defiantly, that in any event we
won be captured in Germany"

CHARGES OF MURDER
ARE LIES" SAYS HOGAN

Hogan, wealthy and wideiy-knoW WI
planter and banker of Laurens coun-
s ty was arrested today at his farm
fourteen miles from here on a fed
erai warrant charging peonage. He
had been under investigation for sew
eral weeks by the department of JUS
tice.
Deputy United States Marshals NJ.
IG. Cooper and Charles Mosely took
the prisoner in an automobile to Ma
con, where he was given an imme-
|diate preliminary hearing before
Federal Commissioner W. E. Martin.
Il do not know what peonage
Zmeans, and the charges that L am
responsible for the murder of any
gan declared as~he left for the cen
trail city in custody of the federal
deputies.
Hogan is one of the most promi-
Inent farmers in South Georgia, and
mis- 200 acre farm is said to be one
of the most modern in the entire
state. He employed more than 1OC
negroes, operated as many pIows,
and also used a number of tractors
IHnd other up-to-date machinery in
khe cultivation of his land.
Department of justice agents be
gan inquiry into conditions on the
Hogan farm three weeks ago. 1t
was charged at the beginning of
the probe that it would reveal a Sec
ond murder farm" with both peon-
age and murder charges, but peonage
cases only have been developed thus
far. Agents are still investigating,
however, and have announced they
are going thoroughly into the death
of three negroes on the plantation
several years ago.
Hogan admits that three negroes
were killed. but asserts their deaths
were promptly reported to the au-
thorities and investigated. He de-
MES that any negroes were put to
death under his orders.
The accused planter has many
warm friends in this county, who
believe if he is guilty at all he is
guilty only technically of peonage.
They declare that reports of the
murder of negroes on his place are

HOGAN is ARRESTED
ON PEONAGE CHARGE

MACON, Ga, May ILL. G. B.
farm at Dexter, Laurens county was
brought to Macon Tuesday after
noon on a warrant charging peonage.
He Immediately made a temporry
bond of 5000, and the preliminary
hearing was set for May % before
United States Commission w. E.
Martin. The bond was signed by
Jerome Kennedy, prominent farmer
of Dexter. Mr.. Hogan was ac-
companied to Macon by his attor-
ney, Judge J. S. Adams, of Dublin,
who said that his client did not fear
any investigation by federal agents
or the grand jury and that he is
ready to defend him on a charge
of operating a murder farm" or
'peonage farm" or any other kind
of a farm except a good one. Mr..
Hogan declined to make any state
ment.
The officers left the Hogan Broth
ers' farm after the arrest was made
and Hogan had telephoned his at
the outskirts of Dublin and Joined
the party for Macon.
1t became known some time ago
that agents of the department of
Justice had been investigating alleged
peonage conditions on the Hogan
brothers farm, and shortly after ac-
counts of the investigation were pub
lished, U. G. B. Hogan made state
ment in which he said he had known
of the Investigations, but the reports
that peonage conditions existed on
his place were all false.
Investigation of alleged peonage
conditions on the Hogan brothers
farm were made by a federal grand
jury here in October, 1915, when a
mo bill' was returned. The investi-
cation was scheduled for May, 1915,
but at that time it was reported
that the witnesses could not be
found. The case was then carried
over until the following October.
