herself and left the house She was
followed and discovered sitting on the
river bank, mile below town, in the
act of taking off her CATERS. AS soon
as she saw that she was discovered she
jumped to her feet, gave one wild scream
and plunged into the dark, turbid waters
and sunk. Her last letter to Norton
was as follows:
" To Sam Norton:
Il hope that God will curse you all
the days Of your life for your falseness
and the injury you have brought upon
me. | hope that you may never live to
know apother moments peace in this
world. If you had any honor or one
spark of humanity for me you would
never leave me as you have. | am
going to the river to drown myself as
soon as i leave this note with some one
for you. You will not 60 through life
unpunished. SUE"
The affair created the widest excite
ment, and in the evening large crowd
gathered before the hotel where Norton
was stopping, and nothing but the in.
tervention Of the poor girls father saved
the villain from being lynched.
