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.

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.

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 Inquiry Into the criminal situation In Fulton county: Forrest Adair, foreman; C\ A. W. I)enk. R M. Durant, T. J. Day, secreta ry; C\ J. Sullivan. F. J.

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.

Altogether one* hundred and forty men walked out of the machine shops. Of this number one hundred nnd eight were Journeymen machinists nnd thir ty-two were apprentices.

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. Chinese Y. M. C. A.

The cry of Tim Woodruff and Ills crowd Is, 'Get the labor vote/ and they are making tremendous ef* forts for It. 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 sonal Interest at xtuke,>who will not tell you that Mr. Hearst was fairly elected. “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.” DYNAMITE NOT STORED AT WRECKED CAR SHOPS. gpeefa; to The floorgfau. Chattanooga, Tenn.. Nov. 5.—It is W. B. Robertson. W. B.
