Atlanta, June 11.— The coroner’s in

of R. S. Flowers, the Decatur dairyman,
whose dead body was found Monday
morning in a small stream of water be
tween Decatur aud Poplar Spring, de

assaulted aud murdered.
There were evidences of the girl hav
ing been beaten and choked. On one
side of her throat was a cut made by a
knife, but whether before or after her
death is not known.
According to the evidence, the girl
was last seen alive at her adopted fath

o’clock.
The girl was assaulted aud murdered

Another meeting will be held next Wed
nesday, when a verdict will probably be
reached.
The Victim.
Roberta Jackson, or Berta Flowers,
was small for her age and appeared to
be about 9 or 10 years old. No one knew
her exact age. Flowers says he always
believed she was older than the people
in Jackson thought her to be.
The child whose young life ended in
such a tragic manner had a strange his
tory. Who her parents are nobody
knows. Some one told her about her
past life and made her believe she was
the daughter of rich parents and had
been stolen. She talked about this a
great deal and her adopted parents say
it made her morose and dissatisfied.
The woman, Sallie Smith, who car
ried the child to Jackson, went to Chat
tanooga and has never been heard of
since.
The child was well known in the
neighborhood about Poplar Spring and
East Lake. The people knew most of
her history and they pitied the little
girl, who seemed to be thrown on the

the jail hero yesterday in an attempt to
lyneh Ike Williams, the convicted mur
derer of young Otis Word, is dend as the
result of a pistol wound inflicted by one
of the sheriff’s meager posse, and Tom
Smith, another member of the mob, is
severely wounded in the shoulder.
Sheriff John L. Merrill, Senator W.
D. Humriek of the district and L. Z.
Flotouer, the sboritf’s brother-in-law,
are the heroes of the day. Alone these
three withstood the mob of 500 infu
riated men who attacked the jail, intent
upon The having Williams' life.
attack was wholly unexpected by
Sheriff Merrill. In fact, he had reason
to feel secure, having been assured that
no effort would be made to create a dis
turbance of nuy kind.
But the crowd had gathered in the
city expecting a hanging. When it did
not take place many of them were mad,
and this doubtless led to the attempt
upon the jail.
The troops from Atlanta ordered out
by the governor reached hero at 7
o’clock, and Judge Sam Harris signed
an order for the removal of the negro to
Allanra. The militia went up to the
jail, termed a cordon uround the prison

IT OCCURRED NEAR MACON.
The First CJu-l-ilull ihipilsiu Adminis
tered In America.
Macok, Juue 10. — Vicar General
Keily of the Catholic diocese of Georgia
made the following statement while iu
^ reminiscent mood:
"The first Christian baptism in Amer
ica took place at about tho site of Macon,
Ga., in 1504. This may seem a strange
statement, but it is true. Accompany
ing the ixpeditiou of Heruaudo do Soto,
‘wlie made his memorable tour of dis
covery through this portion of America,
was a Dominican priest, and the re
cords show that two Iudiuns were bap
tized by him iu this portion of the coun
try. From the description given I am
satisfied that the baptism occurred nt
about where the city of Macon now
stands. ”
Macon has become an important Cath
olic point. St. Stanislaus, the cele
brated Jesuit college, is located here, as
well as the popular Me tie Sales acad
emy, an institution for the education of
girls. The handsomest church edifice
iu tho state is in course of erection here
by tho congregation of St. Joseph, and
is now rapidly nearing completion. said The
imported glass in the church is to
have cost $9,000. The Jesuits own much
valuable property in this city. It is
said that a handsome 4-story school
building for boys will be erected in the
rear of the new Sc. Joseph church.

Case Will Go to the Federal Supreme
Court.

as counsel for Benjamin D. Greene,
John F., William T. aud Edward H.
Gaynor, accused of conspiracy with
former Captain Carter, U. S. A., to de
fraud the government in connection
with southern harbor improvements,
made a move today to question the va
lidity of the indictment before the su
preme court. He did this by revoking
the bail bonds under which the four
men were held for their appearance to
stand trial iu Savannah, Ga.
The men were surrendered to the cus
tody of the United States marshal, but
a few minutes later they were taken be
fore writ Judge of habeus Laeomb corpus. ou application The applicatiou for a
was denied by the judge aud Mr. Rose
took ou appeal. Tho bonds of tne four
defendauts were then renewed uud they
were at once released.
Tbe matter will now be taken before
the supreme court iu Washington, but
cannot be argued before fall, as tbe su
preme court does uot meet until Octo
ber. The questions at issue are the va
lidity of the iudicuneut of the defend
ants by tho Uuired Stares grand jury at
Savannah, the drawing of that grand
