A SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
A We1l-Known Insurance Man of Chat
tanooga Killed by a Bank President
of That City---The Consequence
of a Divorce Suit.

T CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 5.-Geo. N. Hen
son, President of the Citizens Bank
and Trust Company, and one of the
most prominent men in ChattanoOga's
financial field and commercial circles,
this afternoon shot and killed J.. B.
Vert, a we'll known insurance man,
the father of a large family and with
connections throughout this section of
the country. The city to night is agOg
with excitement in consequence of the
sensational tragedy. The shooting
occurred shortly after 2 o'clock. The
killing vas done in n of the passenger
elevators in the Richardson block, the
largest office building in the city.
Some three months ago Mr.. Henson
sued his wife for divorce, naming Vert
as correspondent. On account Of the
prominence of all parties concerned,
the suit awakened the liveliest interest
and engendered most bitter feelings.
Henson stoutly maintained that Vert
had been unduly intimate with Mrs
Henson and Vert as stoutly denied it.
Following the filing of the bill for
divorce, Vert printed a card in the
newspapers denouncing Henson as a
liar and q calumniator. Henson re-
piled, reiterating the charges.
Through mutual friends the husband
and wife divorce proceedings were
withdrawn, the husband agreeing to
maintain wife and children and paying
the costs of the divorce suit. Wert's
friends claimed this e~xonerated him,
but Henson continued to contend that
he was guilty of the undue intimacy.
Some few weeks ago the Centenary
Methodist Church, Of which Mr.. Vert
was a prominent member, placed him
on trial before a jury of seven of the
church members. Five voted for con
viction of adultery and two for &C
quittal. Accordingly he was expelled
from the church.
Today the tragical chapter Of the
unfortunate affair was enacted. Both
men had been avoiding n another,
fearful of the consequences of a meet
ing This afternoon Henson had bust
ness with the banks attorneys on the
fourth floor of the Richardson block
and after finishing his business, he
started down to make his exit from the
building. AS he reached the second
floor below, Vert, In company with a
young attorney, entered the elevator.
Thus the men met face to face for the
first time since the church trial. Be-
tween the first floor and the ground
the shooting occurred.
Henson says he intended leaving the
elevator as soon as he recognized the
new passenger, but his exit was inter
