dition and Aere seemed frasps,s the
first minute an examinations as
made that there was no hope for her.

tiful and handsome and was Just a

10 his brother, the sheriff of the coun-
ty, who told him to request the cor
oner to escort him to Brunswick and
turn him over to the Glynp county
authorities.
1t is stated that the uncles of Miss
Crosby have spoken or will speak to
a well known local attorney whom
they hope to employ to assist Solic-
itor General Sellers in prosecuting
he case. In the meantime the uncles
are endeavoring to locate the person
who performed the operation which
resulted in the death of their niece.
They are of the opinion that no ply
sician did because It was a feeble eff
fort and it is intimated that some
quack was brought here during the
four days the girl was unaccounted

condition was dangerous she was then
taken to the local institution.
It is stated that the unfortunate
