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~

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

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.

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.
