AN ATLANTA WOMAN
SUSPECTED OF CRIME.
Atlanta, April 27. Mrs. Dr.
Rachel Flynn, an aged woman,
of No. 605 Washington street, is
held at police headquarters on
charges which surpass in sensa
tionalism the famous case against
Dr. Rosa Monnish. In connec
tion with her case two negro
women servants at her beautiful
Washington street home are held
as accessories after the fact, and
her grandson, Charles Flynn, a
12-year-old boy, and two young
white women are held as wit
nesses.
The case is under the direction
of Chief of Detectives N. A.
Lanford, and he, in a statement
to Judge Broyles, following the
docketing of the case for 9
o'clock tomorrow, charged the
woman with the wholesale
slaughter of infants by strang
ling them to death with cords,
by piercing their heads with
sharp iron instruments, and even
with burning them alive in red
hot stoves and grates.
Detectives have been working
on the case for the past seven
teen days, and on Wednesday
secured evidence which they
considered sufficient to make ar
rests. Accordingly, Detectives
Hewcll and Hollingsworth, who
have been identified with the
case from its inception, .accom
panied by Detectives Norris and
Clarke and Probation Officer
Cloer, raided the Washington
street house, placing under ar
rest Mrs. Flynn, the two white
women and the two negro wo
men. The grandson was arrest- j
ed this morning. In the raid up
on the house the detectives were
unable to secure the woman’s
fKtoks. which they allege have
been destroyed. They found,
however, certain instruments
which they claim are used only
in criminal operations upon wo
men.
The case originated with the
finding of a tiny baby buried in
the soft earth near the railroad
tracks at the foot of Gordon
street, in West End, on April 10.
The child’s body was dug from
the ground by a dog, which had
accompanied ;t railroad man on a
trip of inspection. He notified
the police, and Patrolman S. J.
Roberts started an investigation,
which developed that the child
had been strangled a few hours
after its birth by a tiny silk cord,
which was still around its neck.
Assisted by Officer Roberts,
the two detectives have been
working on the case ever since.
They found evidence, they claim,
that two white women and a boy
had buried the body.
Since that date they have been
working persistently in an effort
to substantiate idle rumors which
they claim to have heard in re
gard to the character of the
house.
Chief Lanford declares that
with the information which lie
has received from certain wit
nesses who have been subpoenaed
for the preliminary hearing in
the recorder's court tomorrow
his charges bid fair to be sub- i
stantiated.
DARING RESCUE OF
GIRL FROM WELL.
Oriska, N. D., April 2S. To
save Miss Marie Smith from
death H. P. Olsen of this town
was lowered head downwards
into a well twenty feet deep and
only eighteen inches in diameter.
The strain was so great that
blood burst through his chest
and left arm. The girl was
barely alive.
Miss Smith fell into the well
and Olsen tied a rope around his
ank.es and crawled down in the
well while bystanders held the
rope. When he reached thebot
torn he seized the girl and call
ed to the men above to pull.
Added to her weight of one
hundred and sixty pounds was
that of her drenched clothing
and it took three men to pull the
two over the edge of the w ell.
BURNING NEGRO BOVS
ALIVE OVER FIRE.
Forsyth, Ga., April 28. —A
, great deal of excitement prevail
. ed in this city late Wednesday
i afternoon, when it was reported
• that two negro men of the city,
: Fitly Wright and William phillips,
had threatened to burn three
> small negro boys to death, but
1 were prevented from carrying
1 out their threats by the timely
1 interference of Marshal Jack
i Meek. Mr. Meek was attracted
r lo a building in the negro bot
- toms by the agonizing cries of
the boys, who were apparently
t being tortured to death, and if
. he had arrived only a few minu
t tes later the boys would possibly
■ have been destroyed by fire.
) Peeping through a crack in the
• side of the building, Mr, Meek I
■ discovered that the men had
- fastened a rope to the bodies of
the boys, which they had thrown j
i over a rafter, and had them sus
i pended in the air, with their toes!
barely touching the floor of the
building. They had built a fire
• beneath the bodies of the boys
arul were severely whipping
them, Mr. Meek rushed into
the building and placed Phillips
and Wright under arrest, just in!
i time to prevent more serious in- j
i jury. The toes of the boys were
badly burned by the flames, and
they were whipped so severely
that they could hardly walk.
Medical attention had to be ren
dered.
An investigation led to the fact |
that the negroes had threatened
the lives of the small negro boys j
because they had been discover-j
ed beneath the store of Eidy
Wright, where a large quantity!
of liquor belonging to Phillips!
and Wright was concealed. |
Thinking that the boys had dis
covered their liquor, and would
give them away to the officers,
Phillips and Wright hastily re
movod the whisky and then pro
ceeded to frighten and tortune
the boys, that they would be un
able to report them to the offi
cers for the illegal sale of whisky.
A quart of liquor was discovered j
! under the store by Sheriff Hol
land.
The trial of Wright and Phillips
was held before Mayor Blood
worth Thursday morning at 10
o’clock. Wright was lined $25
or 50 days and Phillips S2O or 40
days. Each one was bound over
under a SI,OOO bound for cruelty j
to children, and a heavy fine was
also imposed on Wright for keep
ing whisky confined beneath his
store.

BELIEVES BACON
KILLED SHAKESPEARE.
Chepstow, Eng., April 27.
Dr. Orville W. Owen, who is dig
ging in the mud of the river
Vye for manuscripts which he
believes were hidden there by
Lord Francis Bacon, is after big
game that has been supposed.
Today the American declared
that the cipher which is guiding
his oj>erations reveals that Bacon
killed Shakespear and buried the
bard of Avons's head in the box
which is now being reclaimed
from the river bottom. The top
of what the American thinks is
the hidden cache was reached by
the sounding rods, but there is
considerable layer of clay to Ik*
removed before the logs or plank
ing forming the cover can In 1 re
removed.
If you take a deed, you want
the correct form. It can be had

Money To Loan.
I am in position now to secure
loans on farm lands and town
property in Montgomery County.
The lender that will handle my
business is especially desireable
for parties that want big loans
on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
Their interest is 6 per cent.
Terms five years, the borrow pay
ing 1-10 each year thereby re
ducing the interest, and princi
pal so the final settlement will be
easy. The money for building
lor improving homes in towns is !
also 6 per cent, money, and the
loans are arranged so the bor-1
rower repays monthly for 60:
months. You only have to add j
a little to the amount you are |
paying as rent to own you a
i home in a short time. I think |
! this a good way for a person to \
j get a home.
