A Gruesome Occurrence in the Brick Church Neighborhood Coroner Flowers held an inquest over the body of an infant on the Witherspoon place, in the Brick Church neighborhood, Sunday. Saturday afternoon- he was- notified by telephone that the arm of a negro baby had. been brought into the yard of one of the negro tenants on the Witherspoon -plantation by a dbg and that there .was considerable ex? citement over the gruesome occur? rence, i Sunday morning he went down to the scene accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Gaillard to make a thorough investigation, in the meanwhile Mr. W. S Raffield, who has charge of the Witherspoon plantation, had made "an investigation and had the case pretty well worked up. A number of witnesses were exam? ined and the fact was established that the arm that the dog had brought into his owner's yard be? longed to the baby of a woman named Addie Benjamin, who lived on the same place. The child was born dead on Thursday night and was buried in its mother's garden with? out being enclosed in a box or coffin. The woman told no one of the birth of the child or its burial, hence the mystery and excitement when it was unearthed and partly devoured b3r the dogs. Dr. King, who examined the body of the infant, stated that the child was born dead. The jury returned a verdict that the child came to its death from causes unknown. The firemen had a hard and red hot fight on-' the Atlantic Coast Line yard Saturday to prevent a serious fire and they won the fight as usual. When the alarm was sent in shortly before I o'clock a car of cord wood was on fire, the flames threatening to spread to other cars, the Standard Oil Storage tank and the Compress. The fire was confined to a small area. The car of wood was burned, also a half car load of lumber and t>ne empty box car was damaged. A bale of cotton was ignited by a flying spark, but was promptly extinguished. The cord of wood is supposed to have been set on fire by the shifting engine.
