THREE LITTLE KIDS KILLED A ' “BOTTLE BUZE” Youngsters got Hold of Blind Tiger Liquor THEY WERE BEHIND A TREE IN THE PARK PLAYING “REAL GROWN MEN" WHEN THEY WERE TAKEN IN CHARGE, Atanta, March 27.—A ebubbv, rod-cheeked 7-year-old young hope ful. bare-legged and bright blue eyed, was the principal prisoner at the bar In the recorder's court this morning. The bar was so much higher than bin bead that he had to get a toe-hold and clamber up one of the posts before the Judge could tee him. He was arraigned with three com panions, all bright-looking young sters of thoroughly respectable fam ily, all charged, please goodness, with haring i n their possession a big bottle of blind tiger-liquor. The four kiddles were "named Charles Morgan, Percy Baxley,'Roy Nichols and Arthur Barnard. Ac cording to the evidence, Arthur Barnard, 9 years old, hod sent a manly snd mysterious note, l n pub lic school, to his three companicna,' scrawled on a sheet of paper In pencil-printed letters, announcing that he had a “bottei of Buze,” and that If the kids would all assemble In the psrk after school they would kill It” together. The teachers got wise, and the case was reported. Subsequently a charge was made against Joe Bur kett, a grown man, charging that had let the children have the whisky. At the same time the charge against the boys was with drawn, and they were held as wit- ases. But It developed at the trial that Burkett was the step-father of one of the boys, and that the kids bad either mlschtOToulay stolen the whisky from hlrp. or had taken It ■Without knowing that they wen doing wrong. At any rate, It was proven that nobody but the young sters were to blame, ind Burkett was released with apologias. Questioned by the recorder, Charlie Morgan, tiniest of the tots, ssld he had tested the whisky, but that It burnt his mouth and that none of them had drunk any. He said that none of them had ever taated whisky before in their lives, and only got it because they want- to play at being "real grown men,” The recorder kindly explained to them that It Is possible to be a full grown man wtthont drinking blind tiger whisky behind a tree la the park, and urged them If they really wanted to be manly, to take a tem perance pledge and then Jala the boy scouts.
