VOLUME 90. BABY THROWN AWAY TO DIE Inhuman Treatment of two Weeks' Old Infant by Its Motbsr. SEMI-WEEKLY. DURHAM, C, JULY 28, 1908. DOHA MARSH, COLORED, ITS MOTHER. Marsh Woman Claims She Gave tbe ttilld to Anollicr Found After Being Deserted 24 Hours-;- - Its father Now Known. A most inhumaa crime waf brought to light on Friday night, when a two weeks' old pickaninnj wa3 discovered hidden away it. an old trunk placed in the guttei near the N. & VV. railroad track in Edgemont Lonnie Thomp son, who lives in that place, found the child. He says that on pass in? that way Thursday night, he heard the child crying, , but he thought it to be a cat in one of the railroad ears. On Friday at noon he heard the same noise, also in the afternoon between 6 and 7 o'clock. It was then that he de cided to investigate the matter. Having located the noise in an old trunk, he secured the help of Mr. J. J. Baldwin; who also li res in that section, and together they made a search, and found the child which was almost starved to death. The infant was almost naked, and its bed consisted of nothing but a bundle of news papers. It was .evident, from the condition of the child, that it had been left in that place for at k-t twenty-four hours, without any attention or nourishment whatever. , " Messrs. Thompson ml Baldwin I immediately summoned fllcers, land Serjeant Pendergraph and Deputy Sheriff Belvin got busy -n ti e case. They-sent the child to the Lincoln Hospital, and were not long in running down the mother of the infant. After out two hours of detective w on;, iney ran across uora Marsh, who was found in a cabin r .ear the city stable, and the of f.vH'M proceeded to take her to the lock-up. The Marsh woman ai not deny that the was the n.'-ther of the child, but claimed that on Thursday night she left tia home of her . mother on Col fax street, and gave the child to j negro woman, whose name she lid not remember, who had pro mised to take care of the child f"r her. She was only able to vivo the otlicers a description oi tM woman, saying that she worked in the factory and lived i Illoney street. This story did i.ot hold, and she was placed in the jail. The child was brought to the " other, but It made no effort to r reive nourishment. Srzeant ctirterirranh limn nff.r lim.i warned the mother to "feed that I'.'tby, r hang on the end of the 'I?," and seeing that her life w.t at stake and desiring to rid h-rself of any charge of infAnti "ide, she mado a desperate effort ' keep the baby alive. The last retort is that the child is doing well, being able to take nourish "i nt. The mother says that she i not vet 21 rears, and that the 'my reason the is not rut tv of wiroer, is because the child yet "Ves. The mother announced on Sat urday that Andrew I'flrrlsh was 'he father of the child, and they were accordingly married at the Mice station at 3:30 o'clock. Niuire J. E. Owens officiating. -Mayor uraham decided that, in view of the fact that the ch Id roust have attention, the mother ouiu go with t to the county home, and appear regularly at "iiceccdinz courts. She was re. r"ttnizcd for her appeprince up . 1 ro'iru, an i wjurpn r.i '"UdUKO. KR. MAXMN'G TO ENTER TBE RACE. Alter Much Talk Hop.;. S. Manning win Baa lor Hi Senate. There has been in Democratic Tanks for some time speculation as to who would be theHcandi- date for the Senate branch of the legislature from this sena torial district, and many suitable and unsuitable men have been mentioned in that connection. Many friends of Captain E. J. Parrish did all in their power to induce him to make the race. He empathically declined to be come an aspirant for the position. It is now public property, and not denied by Mr. Manning that he has decided to enter the race. The request,-- coming from many of his friends, was too strong for him to resist the desire to answer their call, and it is understood upon good authority that he has finally concluded to respond and not retire from act ive political service. Mr. Manning served with cred it in the last General Assembly as representative from Durham county, and since that time he has devoted his time to the law practice, and more recently was manager for Hon w. w. Kitchin in bis campaign for governor. He made many friends in his ef forts for Kitchin, and the in fluence of Mr. Kitchin and his friends will mean that Mr. Man ning will have easy sailing when it comes to asking for the votes in these four connties of this sen atorial district. Cobgnod Case Settled.' , "Keferee Victor H. iyden, of Raleigh, was in the city Monday in the interest cf the B. W. Hob good company's creditors and succeeded in making , a com- promise, whereby the creditors wilt receive 25 cents on the dollar and the business will be resumed. The compromise was satisfac tory to most of the stockholders. The amount of indebtedness was about $6,000, the failure being due largely to the recent panic. We are glad to learn that Mr. Hobgood will resume his business at an early date. ToQog Kaa Pardoned. Will Webster, a young man from this county, who has been serving a sentence in Guilford county for breaking into a car and stealing, was pardoned one day last week by the Governor. The pardon was granted on the condition that the young fellow return to his home in South Car olina, and a consideration for granting the pardon was the fact that he gave the information that led to the arrest and conviction of three other boys. Lonnie Moore, one of the boys, recently made a break for liberty, and was shot dead by the guard. The other two boys will serve the re mainder of their sentence. Tbe Confederate Reunion si Wlnston-Satem. The citizens of Winston-Salem, with that snlendid spirit of en tcrprise and genorsity, that has ever characterized them, are making elaborate and extensive preparations for the entertain ment of the Confederate veter ans on August 19th and 20th, which is the .time fixed for the State reunion of the "Boys in Grey." Among the'mcmbers of disMn guished speakers for the reunion will be a nephew of Gen. It. b. Lee. ax Mrs. T, L.

NUMBER 23; Durham Military Company Will Go fo Morehead City on August 4. Capt.Sidney C. Chambers and his men, the members of Com pany M, Third Regiment, are getting ready to go into encamp ment at Morehead City on Aug. 4. This will be the second trip of the Durham soldiers this year, and they will be gone a- week or ten days. The encampment will be prin cipally for target practice, and practicing the men generally. The first regiment has just brok en camp, and tha second is home from Chicamauga, where the militia of several states and the regulars were in camp together. r Seventeen men, the best shoot ers in the State, will be selected from the different companies, and will be sent to Camp Perry, Ohio, for the annual shoot. From these there will be selected an other team to be sent to Canada and England. This will give the Durham men a chance to win and receive a fine trip across the waters free. Sergeant T. B. Ed wards was chosen last year as one of the best shooters, and was sent to Camp Perry, to engage in the national shoot. The mem bers here are now drilling, and it is expected that about 45 Dur ham men will go to the encamp ment at Morehead City. v" ' f -m---- .' Southern's Grand Excursion - to Richmond. On Tuesday morning August IHh, the Southern Railway will I?--? tieir Grand Annual Ex cursion From ruueigu iu fticu- mond, Va. Train will leave Raleigh at 7:30 a. m., Cary at 7:52, Morrisville, at 8:03, Dur ham at 8:40, arriving Richmond at 3.-00 p. m. Returning, the train will leave Richmond at 8:00 p. m., Wednesday, August 11th. Fare, from all stations Raleigh to Durham, inclusive, $3.00 for the round trip. As is already well-known, Richmond is one of the most at tractive cities of the South, built 1 1 1 on seven nuts, peauuiui pams and many cool spots, where the excursionists may enjoy the breezes so delightful in eastern Virginia. Richmond is the capi tal of the State, and one of the most historic points in the U. S. No other city offers so many at tractions to the sight-seer and those seeking a place to enjoy themselves. No doubt this will be the lar gest excursion of the season. Nine coaches will be provided with ample accomodations for all, and separate coaches for the col ored people. For detailed in formation, ask nearest agent, or address W. II. McGlamery, P. & T. A., Raleigh, N. C.

The stars for the "cowboys" will be Claude Flowers, who will do the catch ing 6tunt, and Richard Conyers, who will do the twirling act. The game is sure to be an inter csting one and no doubt will be well worth the price of admission, whatever it may be. it 1 Hi lb CITIZENS NATIr AL BANK I OF DUr At N. C. ORGANN MAY ist 1905..
