The Sad Side Of Life.

The last act of the Pettus tragedy has
been played and the curtain falls on the
death of the woman who resorted to
murder because she had either . real or
q fancied idea that she had been wrong
cd. The tragedy forms sad chapter in
the story Of life which all who run may
read.
From the morning when Mrs. South
wol th fired the shot that deprived Mr..
Pettus. of life until the morning on which
she died in prison cell, her health had
been gradually failing. Her physicians
said that it would only be question OF
. few weeks until the fragile murderess
would answer for her crime at a tribunal
not of this earth. The medical gentle-
men spoke truly. Ere the day Was fair
" ushered in on the morning of Tues
day, January 7th, the soul of Hanns B.
Southworth passed away thus saving an
earthly jury from passing upon the
question of her innocence or guilt.
The murder Of Mr.. Pettus was 80 atro-
cious in its nature, 30 cold blo0ded and
cruel in execution that her friends were
perhaps justified in saying that her mind
had become warped in brooding over her
wrongs. Perhaps so. Women who can
walk up to man and shoot him five
times with deadly aim are fortunately
rarely found. It necessitates IN utter
disregard of consequences. willingness
to face possible danger, and q ferocity
and Joy in bloodshed that may be ex-
pected in tieress but not in . woman.
We are charitable enough to accept the
idea that her reason Was t0ttering on
the morning OF the fatal 22nd Of Noven.
ber.
A strong moral may be drawn from
the doleful story OF this tragedy. 1t will
not be needed, however, by the men
who allow themselves to be drawn into
dangerous and unlawful relations with
women, or by women who suffer tbem>
selves to become enamored, and listen to
the tale of the tempter.
The ringing down of the curtain on the
end OF both figures in the gloomy trax-
edy ends it only 20 far % they, them
selves, are concerned. But sorrowing
relatives are left behind whose heads
vill be bowed in sorrow and whose lives
viii be c.ouded until they, too, pass
away.
