ACCUSED OF KILLING OWN BABY. Greenville Woman Said to Have Confessed Heinous Crime. Greenville, Aug. 21.?"The baby was by my side in the bed and all at once I took the knife and began cutting and stabbing it." In these words Sunie Mabry, 20 years old, now under treatment at the city hospital, confessed to having taken the life of her new born babe in her room at a Greenville lodging house Tuesday morning, according to the sworn tes~ ^ 'r-r'r 1 * 1 J * ~ ~ 4. 41<\ timony ot l>i\ w. .unuium, ai mc| coroner's inquest yesterday after- j noon. As a result of the testimony of Dr. Mauldin and Dr. Davis Furman and another witness, Miss S. R. Coker, a trained nurse, the coroner's jury returned a verdict that the infant came to its death "by being stabbed by its mother, Sunie Mabry." Miss S. R. Coker, the nurse, was in Greenville on business of another nature, and was drawn into the affair when friends of Miss Mabry asked her to look into the condition of the young woman some three weeks ago, that being the first time she had seen Miss Mabry. Miss Coker said she was in the room about 8 o'clock Tueshavin? hppTi summoned UOJ mviu*i*e, ? ?o ? there by friends who regarded Miss Mabry's condition as serious. After being out of Miss Mabry's room from 20 to 30 minutes she returned and found blood on the floor, but no signs of the infant. Realizing that Miss Mabry's condition was serious, Miss Coker said that she immediately called Dr. Mauldin at his home and made as full a report on the case as her knowledge permitted. Dr. Mauldin came to the house about 10 o'clock. She believes the baby was born about 9 o'clock, and is satisfied that Miss Mabry was the piother of the child. Miss Mabry ?' seemed surprised at the happenings which occurred after Dr. Mauldin's arrival. Before notifying the physician, Miss Coker said she did not ask the direct question as to where the baby was, but "asked questions leading to that," and could obtain no information from Miss Mabry. During the 20 or thirty minutes she was absent from the room, this having been the period in which events transpired so rapidly, Miss Coker testified that , she heard no noise coming from the ~ room. Knowledge of Case Limited. Upon the repetition of question relative to her Whereabouts at the time of the death of the baby, Miss Coker repeated that she was not in Miss Mahry's room, and that her knowledege of the case therefore was limited. Miss Coker testified that at about 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon Miss Mabry was taken to the hospital. No idea as to where the baby was had been obtained by her up until that I time. About 8 o'clock, she said, she went to the then vacant room and started a search. She did not know Miss Mabry had the suit case as she had been told by Miss Mabry that she did not have one when the question as to what to pack her clothes in came up while preparing to send her to the hospital. When she sighted the suit case Tinder the bed Miss Coker pulled it out and opened if. There she saw the body, its head wrapped in a cloth. She satisfied herself that the infant was dead and then immediately left for Dr. Mauldin'S home. Besides the physicians, Miss Coker was the only witness. The inquest lasted"8 nearly two hours. ? < m Anything in the hardware line at Simmons & McCartha's, The Hard "ware Men.?ad. < >? ? FEW ORDERS GR^EX. v. ??? People of Town Evidently Xot Concerned Over H. C. L. It seems that the people of Bamherg are not greatly concerned over the high cost of groceries. Although the government offered millions of pounds of staple groceries at prices far less than they can be bought for from the retail stores, only three orders, for about fifty dollars' worth of goods, were received at the Bamberg postoffice. It was evident that the failure to buy these government groceries was not because of lack of . information, for the daily newspapers have given wide publicity to the sale, and the Bamberg postmaster had notices posted in various sections of the town calling attention to the . sale on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of August.
