Hawes, the Birmingham mur
derer’s second wife, said just be
fore marrying, to some of hor la
dy friends, ‘-I’d marry him if he
was a murderer; yes, if he had a
thousand wives!” She got the
man her idle words endorsed, and
no doubt, these very words encour
aged the viiliaa to commit the ’das
tardly crime.

Sunday evening's lulie “fracas”
on the streets and in front of citi
zens’ private residences and fV.nti
lies, suggests good reasons that Ho
me:’ought to be incorporated. The
offenders could lie arrested and lin

someone takes it upon hiinseif to
make report to the tirst grand jury,
then they are likely to throw it
aside, as it has become so old. The
sheriff has no right to arrest these
violators without a warrant issued
by a mayor or justice of the peace.

Homer elects her new magistrate,

The other child, Irene, of R. R.
Hawes, the Birmingham murderer,
has been found in the lake where
its mother was. The coroner’s jury

came to its death from the hands
of its father.
When found the child was lying
on its face—-just as it had been
thrown in the lake. Around iit.

This, of course, kept the body from
rising to the surface of the water.

grace to the rope. He ought to be
put on exhibition as (he phenome

then he would be a disgrace to the
animal nation.
