himself, most unwillingly, the possessor of

should find himself in such a category,

Columbus, (Ga:) July II, 1913.
/ believe have got room to give you
the particulars of one of the most shock
ing murders | have ever heard of, commit
ted in Barber county, Alabama,a few days
ago. A Mrs. Gachet pronounced Gasha)
and two of her daughters were visited on
the day ofthe murder by Mr.. Brown and
his wife. They took dinner, and remain
ed until late in the evening with the old la
dy and her two daughters. When they
were about leaving, they insisted that the
ole. lady should go home with them and
spend the night.
She refused; giving, as a reason, that her
daughters would be left alone; and further.
that all the money she had was in her
house. They however, continued to urge
her, until she consented to accompany them
to remain the night. Shortly after her de-
parture, sick and weary traveller rode up,
and begged permission to stay the night
The two ladies said they were alone, and
he could not stop. He said he doubted
whether he could ride to the next house:
and presuming they were afraid of him, he
told them if they would consent to let him
remain. he would take his room and suffer
them to keep the KEY.
10 this proposition they consented, and
the traveller soon went to his room. Some
time during the night he was awoke by a
noise in the other room there being but
two in the house. Continuing to hear some
one moving about he got up, went softly
to the door, and discovered man at a bu-
reau examining the drawers. He hailed
the individual, who instantly drew knife
and made at the traveller, who, as he ap-
preached, shot him dead at his feet The
pistol alarmed the negroes, and when they
came up they went into the ladies' room,
and found both ofthem lying in their beds
with their Threats cut, and dead!
The traveller, on enquiripp for their
mistress, was taken to Browns House
On meeting the old lady he told her some
one had murdered her daughters, and that
he had shot the villain. Mrs. Brown ex-
claimed, "you have killed my husband, -
and so 1t turned out; the very person who
had spent the day with Mrs. Gachet had
murdered her daughters! What a provi-
Dental thing that the man should have
been permitted to remain, to punish the
assassin!
