"How WAS Mrs. Walker dressed when

"She wore a gray dress, polonaise,
and skirt None Of her underwear was
colored. Her stockings were white ma
chine-knit ones. She wore a heavy
brown shawl embroidered in two of It's
corners. The embroidery was made at

folded as to make the entire
back look like embroidered work. The
shawl was hanging on the foot of my
bed, and when she pulled it off | was

minutes and did not return We became
uneasy and began search. 1t was then
quarter to l o'clock in the morning.

PROKFN-UrARTED.

Mrs. White shows that this great blow
has borne heavily npon her, but for one
who has been in delicate health for
number of years she holds up under
such strain wonderfully well. During
her conversation she said that her mother
had admitted that she was heart-broken
from trouble.
1.-THE condition OF my health, con.
tinued the daughter, "gave her great
concern, and there were other things
that bore on her mind. For one of her
age her mental faculties were remarkably
clear, and while she had troubles TO bear
she seldom was ever low-spirited.
"Bnt ara you still Of the opinion that
the shoes shown you are not your
mother's?"
~ am certain about it," Mrs. White
answered.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1888-04-03
PAPER IN HER SHOES


Recurring 10 the shoes Mrs. White
said "Mother often wore paper in her
shoes. She did this tor the two reasons
that she always wore loose shoes, and
that the paper would keep ont dampneas,
and therefore was beneficial 10 her rheu-
matism. Frequently she would cut out
false soles Of paper and put them in her
shoes. She also often folded paper and
put il under her clothes on her sides
when she was threatened with rheuma-
tism."
The pamphlet found in one of these
shoes was an advertisement of some kind
OF farming implement.
Mr. White states that prior to Mrs.
Walkers disappearance there were at his
house quantity of papers and circulars
that were brought from the Fair the fall
before. The scraps that were found in
the shoes were pieces OF circular about
the McNulty moving machine OF Ohio.
One thing that indicates mistake on
the part Of Mrs. White with reference
10 the shoes is that the heels of these
shoes had been cut down in the same
manner that Mrs. Walker always reduced
her shoe heels.

He Strikes Mr.. w H Godssy with Chair.
and 10 Killed in Conss.
uuence

At S:25 o'clock last night, in the st.
Charles Hotel dining-room, four or five
shots in quick succession were heard (;
and there was rush of people from the
room and others to it.
In moment more Mr.. W. II. Godsey,
the manager OF the hotel, walked into
the Office, pistol in hand, and upon Mr..
Callahan, the proprietor, asking what
was the matter, said: "That nigger hit
me across the head and have shot him.
THE SCENE.
In the dining-room, stretched on the
floor, David Glass, colored waiter, was
breathing his last. A number of colored
people-menand women-were clustered
about him, and under his head they had
placed a red table-cloth, snatched from
one of the tables.
few minutes later Mr.. Godsey had
surrendered himself into the hands Of
the police, and the Coroner was viewing
the body. He did not propose to go into
All inquest Immediately. but he did wish
10 enroll witnesses, names and ascertain
from them what points they could testify
to-.
THE GIsT OF IT.
Mr.. P. B. Callahan, the proprietor, in
conversation with the Coroner and re-
porters said that Mr.. Godsey is the step
SON of Mr.. John S. Dodson was for
merly with Mr.. Dodson at tho American
Hotel, and more latey was employed in
Lynchburg, and for three weeks past had
been manager at the St. Charles, with
authority to employ and discharge ser
wants
Mr.. Callahan was told by Mr. Godsey
in the forenoon that he (Godsey) had had
some words with this man Glass. but the
exact nature of the interview he did not
know, but as Mr.. Callahan understood
it grew out OF GLASS; impudence and re-
fusal to obey orders.
HEAD PUsHER.
Mr. George Browning, the baker,
knew OF no fuss between Godsey and
Glass, but observing during the evening
that Godsey Was following up the wait
ers pretty closely and keeping them
steadily Mt work, Brewing remarked 10

ing you all pretty lively this evening, "
whereupon Glass replied, "Yes, but
he won't he doing it tomorrow or
something to that purport This was
about $50 p. VI. Glass was laughing at
the time, added the baker.

MUST BE MRS. WALKER
LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE REMAINS
FOUND ARE HRS.
The Piece OF Drsss-Goois Probably to Be
Unearthed for Identif-
cation

There is now little doubt that the
lower portion of human body found in
the river on Friday was part of the re-
mains of Mrs. Sarah A. Walker.
This is, at least, the generally-accept-
ed belief, and there are some circum-
stances which strongly indicate its cor
rectncss.
Mrs. Walker disappeared from her
home on Union Hill on the night Of
February II. 1887, and through this
period OF more than thirteen months
many persons have held to the theory
that she wandered down to the river bank
and committed suicide by drowning that
sand washed over the body and kept it
buried until during the recent freshet.
when this portion OF 1t was washed out.
