The mystery veiling the desertion
of the month-old babe, found by two
negro men a few nights ago In the
weeds In a vacant-lot at DeKalb ave
nue and Delta street,vTnman Park, was
cleared Sunday night when Policeman
Coogler arrived In Atlanta, having in
custody the mother of the child, Miss
Phronie Morris, 27 years old, daughter
of J. L. Morris, u‘well-to-do farmer,
residing a mile from Redan, Ga.
Miss Morris, who was Monday morn
ing transferred from the police station
to a cell In the Tower, makes a com*
]>lete confession, stating that she placed
the. child In the weeds herself, she
says she deserted the child In order
that the fact of Its existence might not
become known to her people.
Miss Morris has also furnished the
police with the name of the child'
ther, who resides In Conyers, Ga. The
father has not been arrested.
When seen Monday at the Tower,
Miss Morris declared she had been
engaged to marry the man, and that
she Intended to sue him for breach of
promise.
Watched Har Baby.
The young woman Insists that she
had no intention of leaving the child
in the weeds to die, stating that site
left it near the sidewalk in the hope
that Its crying would attract the at
tention of some passerby. 8o anxious
was she concerning the outcome of
her plans, she says, that she stood on
a nearby corner and watched for re
sults. She says she remained there
until the two negroes found the baby
and took It to the Georgia railroad
round house, after which she broke
down and wept bitterly.
Miss Morris says her married sister.
Mrs. Janie Olds, of 65 Bartow street,
was with her at the time she left the
baby In the weeds. The two sisters
carried the Infant from Mrs. Olds’ home
to Inman Park on a trolley car.
The mystery of the deserted babe
was solved by Officers Coogler, Berry
and Bedford, who have been working
energetically on the case since the little
tot was found. After ascertaining that
the mother was at her home, near
Redan, Officer Coogler went there on
Sunday and placed her under arrest.
The young woman offered no reslstanc
to coming to Atlanta. She was nc
companled by her father, who Is still
In the city.

Grand Jury Finds True Bill
1 Against Prisoner in
Tower.
It Is now up to J. K* Crutchfield to
arrange hts defense In a trial for as
sault with intent to murder his wife,
Sallle Crutchfield, for the new grand
jury returned An Indictment against
him Monday, morning.
While Mrs. Crutchfield was not able
to give evidence ‘herself, several eye
witnesses.* including L. A. Baldwin and
his sons, T. A. and W. H. Baldwin, and
Mr. Schlnn, were questioned, and It
did not take the Jury long to find a
true bill. W. H. Baldwin followed
Crutchfield aft^r the shooting and
pointed him out to an officer, who ar
rested hhn.
Crutchfield Is now In jail, and his
wife is in the hospital, where one of
her legs has been amputated above the
knee as a result of the shooting by her
husband, who she was suing for di
vorce. The trial of the case will prob
ably be taken up soon after Judge
Roan convenes court Jn the latter part
of November.
Two women (‘ailed at the Jail Mon
day morning and had a long talk with
Crutchfield. They refused to give their
names or the purpose of their visit.
It Is said that Solicitor General Hill
has secured some sensational evidence,
which will throw light on the motive
for the shooting of Mrs. Crutchfield,
and that he planned something more
than protecting his wife’s good name,
as he claims.

The Mother's Story.
When asked for a statement Miss
Morris said:
I came to Atlanta in June and was
directed by my physician to go fo the
home of Mrs. Ida Byers, 16 McDonald
street. After the birth of my child I
went to the home of my sister, Mrs.
Olds, where I have been staying of
late. I didn’t want my family to kno.v
of the existence of the child and tried
to plan some way to get rhl of It.
was anxious that It should be well
cared for und I didn’t know lust wiiut
to do. Finally I decided to leave tin
child in some place where It would lx
found and turned over to the author!
ties or some one who would raise I
properly.
”In company with my sister, I finally
took the child to Inman Park am! left
It In the weeds near tho sldr walk. I
felt confident the child would cry und
that the crying would attract th» at
tention of some one passing along the
street. I had dressed It In good, warm
clothes and then wrapped it In a blank
et, so it would not suffer from the colJ.
I felt so anxious about my baby that 1
watehed It to see who would find it. My
sister and myself stood on n comer, a
short distance away, until two negio
men came along and picked up the
child, carrying It away. When I sow
my child being taken away • could
hardly stand It and broke down and
cried. •
”1 then watched the newspaper.* to
see what was done with the child and
to ascertain If the police had any Idea
as to the identity of the mother. I was
not much surprised when the officer
came and arrested me, for I Just felt
all the time that I would be caught.”
The grand Jury for the November
term of tho superior court of the At
lanta circuit was organized Monday
morning with Forrest Adair as fore
man, but not Including the name of
Joel Chandler Harris, In lieu of whose
presence a doctor’s certificate was pre
sented. The physician said “Uncle
Remus" was po'ly on account of
bronchial trouble.
The Jury was charged simply on the
ordinary points of the criminal code
with special attention to pistol carry
ing. Judge Pendleton told the Jury
that It would not be expected to make
any general presentments, as the grand
Jury for the term which closed last
Tuesday had covered general matters
fully, but of course the present Jury
can take up any matter which In Its
discretion needs attention.
Here are the 22 men who will make

Ttie one topic of discussion in the of
fices, the stores, on the street ’and in
the hotels today Is the gubernatorial
fight In New York; the question ns to
whether Hughes will come under the
wire winner or will be beaten by
Hearst. The discussion Is confined not
to talk alone. Money Is doing consid
erable talking «nd both cand(dates havei
plenty of backers. If the odds are a
criterion, Hughes will have, a walk
over. Odds'of 4 to 1 were freely of
fered and quickly snapi>ed up by the
Hearst adherents.
A member of an insurance firm culled
up the office-of The Georgian Monday
and staged thtit lie had $6(10 to bet 6n
Hughes at 3 to 1. The name of the
bettor will be'given to anyone desiring
to place d bet.
While no estimate of the money w
gered In this city on the Hughes-Hearst
contest has been inude, it will undoubt
edly run Into the thousands. The odds
freely given by the Hughes men look
tempting to the short-end bettors and
many a flyer has been taken on
Hearst's probable majority In Manhat
tan. One enthusiastic follower of the
champion of the people" bet $100 to
$50 that Hearst will pull out of Man
hattan with 75,000 majority. He had
plenty of money to offer nt the sums
odds, but takers were lacking.

The strike-breakers were discharged

in good running order and relieve the
congestion of accumulated repair work.
Altogether one* hundred and forty
men walked out of the machine shops.
Of this number one hundred nnd eight

ty-two were apprentices. As a result
the shops were closed down until labor

the strike was announced settled. While
believed to be In sympathy with the
strikers, Mr. Sheehan has been loyal to

FALL OF CHILD
That the bill Introduced by Council
man Terrell, at a recent meeting of the
council, for the doing away of bill
boards carrying vulgar and obscene
pictures is a movement toward the up
lifting of the morals of the citizen*
of the city, .was the consensus of
opinion Monday at the meeting of the
Ministers* Evangelical Association.
When the bill Is presented to the
council for consideration a representa
tion of the ministers will lie present
to aid In the passage of the measure.
According to one minister, this will
be no easy matter, as the committee In
charge of the bill Is said to be opposed
to the measure.
If the bill is passed, it will mean the
naming posters, visible at the present
time on many streets, will be seen no
more. Pictures of women Immodestly
dressed and medicines advertising un
clean diseases, will, according to the
members of the evangelical associa
tion, l»o conspicuous by their absence.
According to one minister. Council
man Terrell's measure provides that all
billboards In the future shall be of a
width and length much less than at
present. Am all lithographs are of the
same width, this, said the minister,
will mean there will be no more ca-
tbiutio advertisements, no more pic
lithographs of women wearing naught
but a seraphic smile. In their phu*
will be such small advertisements us
can be placed on the restricted bill
boards as called for In the Terrell
measure.

In aid of the V. M. (V A: building that
will be erected In Canton, China, In the

The association voted to co-operate

Trusts Fighting Him.
The great clement of opposition to
Mr. Hearst Is the trusts. They are
against him. not mildly, but actively,
angrily, ferociously. They are fighting
him at every turn. The corporation
Democrats are fighting him. too, but
against the division In the Democratic
ranks Is set the great strength which It
Is believed Hearst will gain from the
laboring people who have formerly vot
ed the Republican ticket. Perry Bel
mont wanted to support Hearst, but
hia brother, August Belmont, the finan-
I sands of parents -.
saved by his distribution of free milk.
Mr. Hearst’s new Jewish paper has an
enormous Influence among the people
of the East Side.
Expect a Victory,
"I have had the confidence of the
leaders and can say that they expect
confidently a victory for Mr. Hearst on
Tuesday. One gveut fear Is of rob
bery In elections. The Republicans
have control and It will l>e hard to ns-
surc an honest count.
"It Is true that the betting is against
Hearst. But two weeks before the
muyor’s race the betting was 10 to I
In favor of McClellan and n few duys
before It was 4 to I. Yet there Is not
a man In New York who ha* no per

“Mr. Hearst is not making lash
promises, promises that he cannot ful
fill. There Is no doubt that lie Is
working for the people. He believe?
that the ‘corporations should be held
a fair profit on their real investment,
not on enormously watered stocks. He
Is fighting a battle for the people and
the people know' It.”
