Lee Sexton, of Union Cotton Mill, 1 Charged With Complicity in Infanticide. On Monday morning Lee Sexton was arrested at the Union >i Cotton Mills; he was there seek- c ing work, having left Monarch t Mills. He has worked at both ? Aetna, Monarch and the Knit- c ting Mills. s The warrant for arrest charged i complicity with the killing of the i unknown child, found Monday, 1 June 25th in the gully not far! t from Gage Avenue. It seems ? that Sexton did not hear the war- \ rant read, or did not understand it, for he stated Monday afternoon that he did not know on what charge he had been arrested. Sexton is a young married man having come here from North Carolina, and married the daughter of Mrs. S. T. Fore, who lived j at the Union Cotton Mill but later moved to the Knitting Mill. The inquest, with acting coro- | ner Young continued its session Monday afternoon, examining eight witnesses. The trend of the testimony was toward an investigation concerning this man Sexton and his wife. She was suspected of being the mother of I the child. There was no testimony whatever implicating Lee Sexton, as it all went to prove or U disprove that Mrs. Sexton was m the mother. r, The nature of the, testimonjjf< was such as to make it unfit fB > a refined public, therefore Tdflr< ! Times will not place such matJR- s | before its readers. Suffice it to j < say that there was much conflict; [ in the testimony, and as yet, it 1 seems that no case has been es-1 s tablished against any one.
