IlHkeil Her Grandchild.
Seima, Ala., May 27. Oue of the
most horrible crimes ever chronicled
in Dallas county occurred four miles
from Selma ysierdty. Early in the
forenoon a four-y earmold child of
Bill Griffin, colored, went over to
the borne of its grandmother, Millie
Griffin, and seeing a hoecake on a
gridiron helped itselt to a pit-ce
without the knowledge or coneent
of the grandmother. ? , ,
This furiously enraged the old
woman, who promised if it was the
last act on earth, to punish t he child
for its rudeness. 8he procured an
empty oat sack and putting 'the
child into it tied up the tack and
hung it on a pair of pot hooka
up in the chimney, -
The old woman, who is 70 years
Old, then gave positive instruction
that the child should not be released
by other haLda than her own and
then went to the field to work.
About two hours later an uncle of
the child heard groans in the .cabin
and went in to inyeatigate, To Jhis
surprise he found thai te Rack had
caught fire and the child had been
literally roasted alive. v
- The neeroes in the immediate
neighborhood - gathered and it was
with difficulty that thty were pre
yented from mobbing , jhe perpetra
tor of this terrible crioie
Thought the Does Caused It. .
A certain laay of i be cny, v ho is
the owner of several very die dogs,
lay down upon ber bed Monday
afterm oj '.-to- ei py' the Bleep that
she had been deprived of the night
before, bn t as saddenly awa KeDed
by the thakiog up caused ty the
eartl quake, and thinking that the
do 8 had got undeineah7 her bed,
she gathered the broom and, punched
, right ami. left, but no dog hollered.
