GIRL’S BODY
Little Berta Jackson Murdered
To Hide Heinous Crime.
DEED IS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Victim Was an Orphan and Was
Thought to Have Run Away
From Adopted Home.—Re
mains Found in Branch.
The dead body of Berta Jackson, an
orphan and adopted daughter of R. S.
Flowers, a dairyman, was found Mon
day morning in a small stream of wa
ter about a quarter of a mile from
Flower's home, between Decatur and
Poplar Spring, Ga.. and about six miles
from Atlanta. The child had been as
saulted and murdered.
Berta Jackson, who was eleven years
of age, had been missing since last
Wednesday, and Flowers had been
searching for her.
Monday morning at 5 o’clock Judas
H. Parker, a gatherer of ferns and wa
ter cress, discovered the body. It lay
itua shallow pool of water, a portion of
a creek that empties into East I.ukc.
Parker, having heard of the disap
pearance of Berta Jackson, hurried to
Flower’s place and told what he had
seen. Flowers and a crowd of neigh
bors went to the creea and drew the
child's body fro mthe water. The au
thorities at Decatur were notified and
an inquest was ordered by Ordinary
Ragsdale.
A double crime had been committed.
The child had been assaulted and mur
dered. There were evidences of the
girl having been beaten and choked.
On one side of her throat was a cut
made by a knife, hut whether before
or after her death is not known.
According to the evidence that came
out before the coroner's jury, the girl
was last seen alive at her adopted fath
er's home Wednesday afternoon about
4 o’clock. She was seen by a negro
field hand, a negro who was employed
on the adjoining place, and by Flow
ers.
The negro on the adjoining lot saw
her walking away from the fielu where
she had been talking with the negro.
The negro employed by Flowers saw
her walking from tlie earn to the
house. Flowers saw her go into the
house. And that was the last time she
was ever seen alive.
The terrible crimes were committed
not far from where Edward Flanagan
slew his victims, and that memorable
crime was recalled by many Monday
when the murder of Berta Jackson was
being investigated.
Robert Flowers, the man w.io adopt
ed the child, is a young man who at
one time taught school in DeKalb
county-. He later moved to Griffin and
while there went to Jackson to take
the child. Flowers is a man of deli
cate build and seemingly of a nervous
temperament. He held his lower lip
between the first finger and the thumb
of the right hand while talking to the
coroner’s jury.
The inquest was held under the su
pervision of Ordinary W. M. Rags- !
dale. Dr. J. H. Green was the first
wltness anre of examined. Dr. W. J. Houston, With the he assist- had j
the made body a post after mortem it examination of j
was carried from the
branch to the house. He stated that !
it was his opinion that the girl's death
was caused by several heavy blows;
upon the head and by suffocation by
choking. The knife wound in the right
ot the neck severed the carotid artery
and there had been some hemorrhage. !
Flowers on Witness Stand.
R. F. Flowers, the foster father of
the deceased, was called, and his story
in part was as follows:
“Roberta Jackson is the name we
gave her upon adoption—we called her
Berta. We never knew her exaet age
or her parentage. She seemed to he
about nine years old when we adopt
ed her and we set apart as her birth
day November 26th, the day of her
adoption. We adopted the girl about
two and a half years ago. My wife and
I were living in Griffin at the time. We
had a liaby boy less than six months
old, tie girl but who my wife could wanted look after to adopt the baby a lit- j
and be a companion to it. Judge Car
michael knew oi this and through his
influence the child was placed in our
rare by the ordinary of Butts county.
I was made her guardian. The child
was at that time in the care of an
old negro woman to whom she had
been turned over by the county au
thorities temporarily.
“All that was Vnown of the child's
previous history was that she was
brought to Jackson from Chattanooga
by a woman named Bailie Smith. Tlie
latter was Bhortly afterward arrested
and Jailed and when she was released
the child was refused her because of
her bad reputation.”

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSHEAR. GA., THURSDAY. JUNE 13. 1901.
ENTOMBED IN BURNING MINE.
Thirty Men In Jaws of Death Deep
Down In Depths of
Mother Earth.
The Pittsburg Coal and Coke Com
pany's plant No. 2 at Port Royal. Pa
is again on fire after steady running
for seven years, and over thirty men
are in the mines, many of whom, it
is feared, will never be heard from
again.
About 6 o'clock Monday morning
smoke was seen to be issuing from
Shaft NO. 2, which Is on the line of
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad.
It is thought the fire started from an
explosionand thst six men were in the
mine a* the time l pop the arrival
of a rescue party two of these were
quickly brought to the surface after
being nearly overcome by after damp
They could give no Information as to
what had caused the fire, and told the
rescue party that four other men were
entombed.
About 7 o'clock Superintendent Wil
liam McCune, of West Nowton, gen
eral superintendent of the district;
Dennis Wortley, pit boss of the mine;
Michael Roy, foreman of the Euclid
mines, and several other bosses and
with about twenty men went down
Shaft No. 1. which is just opposite on
the Baltimore and Ohio side of the
river, and failed to return. About three
ho’;rs after the rescue party had been
in the mine two more explosions were
heard. Meantime the crowd around
the opening of the shaft had increased,
the crowd including many mothers,
wiws and sisters of the men en
tombed.
All sorts of plans were then suggest
ed tor the rescue of the men. Some
suggested turning the river into the
mines, blit many were opposed to this
idea for fear of drowning the miners.
All that would be necessary to let
the deluge of water loose in the mines
would he t«> pull a plug, which was
placed in the mines after the explosion
of seven years ago, and the water
would rush in the mines at a rapid
rate.
At 11 o’clock Monday night four
men volunteered to go down shaft No.
2 and No. 3, and one man down No. 1.
Gas and smoke were issuing from the
mines at midnight and over two hun
dred men. women and children were
waiting for some news oi relatives.
Doctors were called and assistance
was being offered on every side.
HONEYMOON ENDED IN DEATH.
Newly Married Couple Commit Suicide
In a Chicago Hotel.
Ride by side, each with a bullet
wound in the temple, the dead bodies
of L. Hartman and his wife were found
in their bed at the Great, Northern ho
tel in Chicago Monday evening. Tlie
room showed no evidence of a strug
gle. but tile revolver clutched In the
right hand of the husband told the
story of the double tragedy.
Of the pair that courted death so
successfully nothing is known by the
managers of the hotel, beyond the
report that the man has wealthy eon
nections in New York, and that the wo
man, apparently, was once an actress
under tlie stage name of Rose Violet.
From information given by a woman
who inquired for them, it is supposed
that the ease is one of a runaway mar
riage, with deatli as the result of de
spendency over the obduracy of an
tinfoigiving father.

WILL COERCE
Administration Insists on Uncon=

CABINET DISCUSSES MATTER
Until Our Terms Are Fully Complied
With, Soldiers Will Stand
Guard—A Breach of
Confidence.
A Washington special sa.-s: The
cabinet was in session over two hourR
Friday discussing the Cuban and Phil
ippine situations. A communication
has been received from Governor Gen
eral Wood regarding the prospect for
the unconditional acceptance of the
Platt amendment, but its contents are
not made public, it can ho stated,
however, that there is a hopeful feel
ing in administration circles that af
ter tlie first soreness wears off the
convention will see the wisdom of
adopting the terms of the amendment.
3 he answer to General Wood is to lie
sent and the language ol that commun
ication was under discussion at the
meeting. Meantime, the existing stat
us in Cuba is to lie maintained. No ac
tion looking to the calling of another
convention is in contemplation, if the
present convention should decline to
accede to our terms.
While no new propositions have yet
been submitted, it is probable that the
convention will not accept the Platt
amendment outright until another
proposition lias been made to this gov
ernment. The administration is fully
determined tbat. the Cubans must ac
cept the Platt amendment, without
qualification before there can lie nny
change in the status of Cuba.
Confidence Betrayed.
During the conference between Sec
retary Root and tlie Cuban commis
sion some weeks ago, the secretary
wrote a letter to Senator i'latt, of
Connecticut, who introduced the I’latt
amendment, asking for his views rela
tive to intervention as mentioned in
the third clause of the amendment.
Senator Platt replied and his letter
was furnished the commission confi
dentially by the secretary of war, and
it was incorporated into and made a
part of the acceptance of the Platt
amendment by the constitutional con
vention. The letter, however, to the
surprise of Washington officials, ap
peared in a Havana paper and Friday
was made public by the war depart
ment.
Cuban Naval Station Selected.
The naval surveys whicli have been
in progress for some time along the
coast of Cuiia have disclosed the most
available harbors for coaling and na
val stations, in case these are estab
lished in accordance with the Platt
amendment. Probabzly the most im
portsint points are Cape San Antonio,
at the extreme western extremity of
Cuba, and Cape Mays!, at the extreme
eastern end.
Force Radicals to Accept.
A special from Havana says: The
Cuban constitutional convention will
hold a meeting next Monday to discuss
the instructions received Thursday
from Washington regarding the I’latt
amendment. The fifteen delegates who
voted In favor of the amendment have
held several meetings, and are unani
mous In thinking that the amendment
must he accepted in a manner satisfac
tory to the United States government;
and they are determined to force the
radical element to accept the amend
ment under a threat of dissolving the
convention
ONLY ONE LEFT.

Robber Leaps to His Doom.
A dispatch from Toronto, Ont., says:
Of the three men, Fred Lee Rice,
Thomas Jones nnd Frank Rutledge,
extradited from Chicago to stand trial
for the robbery of a bank in Aurora,
Ontario, Rice is the only living surviv
or of the trio to serve out the twenty
one years imprisonment to which he
was sentenced Friday morning. Two
tragedies have put Jones and Rutledge

United States Will Guarantee Bonds
Of China to the Limit of
Our Liability.
The ambassadors from most of the
European countries were in conference
with Secretary Hay at Washington
Thursday, mainly because it was diplo
matic day, which afforded an opportun
ity for discussing the state of the Chi
nese negotiations. It is understood
that the middle ground, or modus viv
endl, as it is being referred to, con
cerning the form ot paying the indem
nity, Is likely to be settled by a joint
and several guaranty. This will be in
compliance with the American view
that there should be no joint guaran
ty in the sense of binding each gov
ernment to securing the payment of
the entire $1137,000,000. It wut be Joint,
however, in the formal aspect of being
executed by nil oi the powers Jointly,
at the same time and with probably
the same instrument. This instru
ment. doubtless, will include ft pro
vision by which each government is to
assume no liability beyond the amount
of Its own share of the Indemnity,
which, in the case of the United
States, is limited to $25,000,000.
In answer to his inquiry, Special
Commissioner Rockhlll, at Pekin, has
been informed that the United States
government has not. taken any steps
recently looking oward the abatement
of its claims for indemnity against
China by one-lmlf. regardless of the
action of the otner powers.

Horribls Fate of German Exploring
Party In the South Seas.
The Tageblalt (Berlin) prints spe
cial correspondence from New Guinea
containing a full account of the massa
cre of the members of the first German
South Sea expedition on the cannibal
island of St. Mathias. They were all
kiled and eaten save Dr. Heinrotli.
The Colonial Zeitung, tho official
organ of the German Colonial Society,
furnishes details of the massacre. It
seems that the vessel which carried
tlie expedition to the Island of St. Ma
thias left after a few days for Herbert
shoh, New Britain, to get. coal and
fresh supplies. During its absence tho
savages, who had hitherto appeared
friendly, although known to he rabid
eannllials, planned to kill and rob the
diminished party.
The plot was carried out. one morn
ing while the members of the expedi
tion, who had a body guard of forty
drilled paupans, were cleaning their ri
fles, which they had taken apart.
Dr. Heinrotli, the only survivor, emp
tied his revolver into his assailants,
while the body guard ill the meantime,
retired to the boats with the wounded
and Dr. lleinroth, leaving twelve dead.
The boat put off to an Island not far
distant, where the expeditionary ves
sel rescued them. Subsequently tlie
survivors returned to the Island of St..
Mathias, where they found that the
bodies had been devoured ami tho
camp absolutely looted.
