MEMPHIS GIRLS WERE IN LOVE.
Alice Mitchell Killed Freda Ward Be-
cause She WouIdn't Marry Her.


MEMPHIS. Tenn, JAM 2S.-Alice Mitchell.
the murderess of Freda Ward. talking
with her counsel, said she killed Freda be-
cause she loved her and Freda refused to
marry her. On all other subjects the girl
seems perfectly rational, and she does not
realize the enormity of her crime. She
says she asked Freda to marry her three
times. and the murdered girl at last con-
sented. Later Freda returned the engage
ment ring, whereupon Alice was miser-
able. ''I could not bear to be separated
from her," said she, 'and resolved to kill
her."
The letters she wrote Freda are full of
the most endearing terms, and go to show
that the girl eagerly looked forward to the
time when she could make Freda her wife.
Strange to say, from what can be learned,
Freda herself seemed TO be infatuated with
Alice and willingly assented to the pro-
posed marriage. The affair was to have
been in the nature of an elopement.
