Such was the second verdict of the!
coroner’s Jury In tho matter of the
killing of A. L. Cole, at the house of
Annette Carter, Cherry street, Satur
day," midnight. The Jury held three
sessions and the examination of wit
nesses was very rigid, but while they
were ready to describe the appearance
of the man In the long raglan over;
coat' and while every one seemed to
know Cole, the murdered man, and
nearly every one admitted they had
seen the “man In the raglan” about the
streets, and one said that she had
known him for years. It was impos
sible for the Jury to exact his name.
The woman called “Dot” was
brought to the stand at the investiga
tion resumed yesterday afternoon. She
is slight In figure, apparently about 24
years old. She came before the Jury
on call with a lighted cigareete under
her reticule. She was very nervous
at first, but as she proceeded, ever
once In & while striking a match to
relight her cigarette, she told very
frankly her story. It was a story of
a depraved life most unblushingly
told. She spoke os a woman of some
education. She gave names, but not
tho name of the slayer. One of those
whom she designated was summoned
before tho Jury and six of the men who
had admitted they were In the house
the night of tho killing, declared under
oath they had not seen hint on the
fatnl Saturday night. As soon «s this
testimony was given the coroner i
that the Jury had reached the limit of
its powers and naked for the declara
tion of a final verdict which was
given as above.
The case, with the evidence adduced
by the coroner’s inquest, will now be
transferred to the grand Jury, before
which the Investigation will bo ro-
sumed.

and have them take such action as would
prevent tho loss of $4,687.50 to the city.
This amount Is tho fund duo now if the

Children’s Many Misfortune*.
In the ages of children up to twelvo
years, their misfortunes, from baby's
prickly heat to tho boy’s, open sore,
are many. Few parents realise tho
therapeutic value of sulphur for skin
diseases and Impure blood,
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur, Nature’s
Greatest Germicide, Is Indispensable In
a home where are children—It may be
taken Internally or applied direct to tho
affected parts.
Here Is the opinion of Mr, H. J. La
mar, VlnevlUe, Macon, Go.: We used
your Liquid Sulphur on our one-year-
old baby, who suffered Intensely from
prickly heat over her entire body. A
half dozen applications In two daya en
tirely relieved her and she slept sound
ly. You should recommend Liquid Sul
phur strongly to mothers. It will prove
a blessing to every family with small
children.
The Hancock Liquid Sulphur Co.,
Baltimore, Md., sends free Its booklet
on sulphur.
