AT TER MOUTH OF A PISTOL.
Some months ago the relatives OF Green,
upon learning of his attentions to, Mrs.
NcCrea. confronted him with their know
ledge. and he promised to drop the woman;
He did not, however. and Mr.: Mackail
made two trips subsequently TO New YORK
expressly to break up the affair, but WITH
ont success. A letter was sent to Mrs.
McCrea telling her that Green was mar
ried man and asking her TO discontinue her
relations with him. She replied that she
loved him and would not give him mp.
II was learned that month or more ago
Mrs. McCrea said TO Green:
II want you to go with me to Savannah
10 see your wife. You must say to her.
don't love you / do love Mrs. McCrea,
and YOU must give me up and get divorce,
so that | can marry the woman love-"
Green said ne could not do that. 1t is
supposed he had not the courage to appear
before his brothers under such circum-
stances. Mrs: McCrea, however, did not
stop here. At o'clock the next morning
she appeared at Green's fat in the BARGE
Iona, accompanied by two maids. Holding
n pistol in her hand she pointed 1t at
Green and exclaimed: -,
Unless you 60 TO Savannah with me at
once I will shoot yon-"
Green ran through the fat and escaped
nv the back stairs. He made some promise
or other TO her later to avert the threatened
shooting.
