Co. GIRL ACCUSED Of
POISONING BROTHERS
Two Young Boys Die-Indica-
tions Point to Poisoning
By Sister

MILLEDGEVILLE, Oct. s.
Mary Claire Berry, II, was confined
in the state sanitarium here Tues
day on a charge of insanity, follow
ing an investigation into the nlys-
ferrous death of her two brothers,
Dolphus, 2, and Emory, 6. Both of
the boys died in violent commissions,
end the viscera have been rushed to
Atlanta for examination. The family
lives at Hardwick, Ga, little sta
ton near the sainitarium The young
er boy died September 20, and
Emory Berry died Monday, almost
to the hour week later.
The deaths have caused much
speculation here.
Ordinary William H. Steinbri9ge.
of Baldwin county, appointed COM
mission to conduct the examination
into the sanity of the sister of the
dead boys Tuesday, following sus,
picions of the family and neighbcrs.
A verdict of insanity was returned,
and she was placed in the asylum IN
mediately. DR.. Richard Vinion, Dr..
N. R. Thomas and Judge E. R. Hines
were members of the board of exam
iners.
Indications are that poison was
given to victims of the violent con-
yulsions, which resulted in their
death, and while no formal charge
has been made against the girl, it is
said that officials are positive that
her brothers were slain by poison ad-
ministered by her. Baldwin county
officials did not question her in
reference to the matter because of
her condition. They are awaiting
the outcome of the analysis at At
lanta also. Mystery surrounds the
deaths.
Mrs. A. B. Berry, widow. whose
husband was killed three years ago
IN an automobile crash near Mill
edgeville, assisted officers in the in
vestigation of the case, and is said
by them to have expressed suspicious
regarding the death of her sons
She was left with eight children
She runs boarding house anG a
taxi cab service at Hardwick.
Emory Berry, who died Monday,
was rushed to the sanitarium for
treatment. Doctors suspected the
presence of poison and prepared the
viscera for shipment to Atlanta.

high cost of living by the inven-
ton OF the "ROSS MAPPING" ma
chine.
This machine brings new nap to
the surface of garments, which have
become threadbare or shiny.
The process is called ROSS

ingly small

iginal nap in appearance and per-
,manency
You cannot imagine the wonders
of "ROSSNAP" until you see the re-
suits.
Won't you stop in a minute and
let us give you a demonstration? We
will gladly fix the edges of the cuffs
of your overcoat free.
We uncondltionally guarantee to
improve the garment, to in no way
damage it. The new nap will last
as long or longer than the original
nap.
"ROSSNAP" is great thing for
you. You can now wear your clothes
at least twice as long and keep them
looking brand new.
It's a wonderful new service.
