Word was received at police head quarters yesterday afternoon that If an officer would quietly slip ardhnd Into the alley leading back of the Telephone Exchange something might be discovered. The message came just as Chief Westcott had turned over to Detective Smith a postal card from *.t lady say ing that she had reason to believe that a negro named-Oble Randall was sell ing whisky to her son. Placing the card in his pocket so ti?at he might investigate the mutter, the detective went «t once to look, after what was going on In the alley. Slipping around he found In'a corner, almost free from observation, five negroes engaged In shooting craps. He made n dlvq for them and succeeded In capturing'two of the men. These proved t/ be Jere Searboro, who was up before the re corder some Fme ago for violating tho prohibition law In some way. and tho other Ohio Randall, the man Whose name was mentioned on the postal card the detective had Just put in his pocket. The men were Just shooting a little craps for Christmas money, and they thought it a shame that they should be so rudely disturbed. When arrested Randall had two half pint bottles of whisky on his person, and the officers think they can con vict him with ample proof that he has been something worse than merely •hoofing craps for Christmas money.

Too drunk to tell his name, too drunk to tell whera he lived and too drunk to tell where he obtained his Whisky, but not too drunk to want a pawnbroker to advance him five dol lars on an clghteen-dollar ring that belonged to his mother, was this white boy, and ho only seven years old. That is what the horrified mother sa'.d to the kind-hearted . officer who managed by carry, him about on the streets long enough to somewhat sober the child to find her. Seven years old! The little fellow, wont into Kaplari & -Snotman's lust night and displaying the ring told what ho wanted. Tho members of the firm saw his condition and his tender years, and they sent for an officer—not to arrest him. but to find out where he lived nnd deliver him to his parents. The child was unable to tel’ any thing about himself, but he thought he lived In a locality where there were a number of electric lights. His mother was a stranger In Macon, had been here ortly for a short time, und the boy had not time to get acquainted with the streets. But the officer took the boy jiround to flrat one place and then another and then finally found tne locality and the mother who over whelmed at the condition of the child. The mother said that /die had a small quantity of whisky an her dross. or. And some of it was mlfs'.ng. She thinks the child must bive drank it. There was nothing for the.officer to do but to sigh and to leave the child with Its mother—to get sober. It wax DetecUte Smith who car ried the child to Ita home, and he says that in all his experience as an officer, this was the saddest s'ght he ever saw.
