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. ARNETTE-MOSES. Mr. and Mrs. M. W.

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.

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. L. C. Underwood, Mt.
