HER WEDDING MARCH A D1RGE.
Milo FreemeR the Groom in a sad
Deathbed MarrInge.


Atlanta, Ga, Feb. l4.-The death of Mrs
Milo Freeman, which occurred at the resi-
dence of A. e. Finkle. 700 South Pryor
street, at o'clock this morning, reveals
the story of a deathbed marriage that
is as sad as 'ships That Pass in the
Night"
Milo Freeman was at one time a member
of the state railroad commission and is
now auditor for the Rome railroad, being
well known in business circles throughout
the state. Mr.. Freeman and Miss Marie
Shumann, a young widow. were boarders
at the house of Mr.. FinkIe. They fell in
love with each other and despite the
spectre consumption that was rapidly pur-
suing Mrs. Shumann to the grave, they
became engaged few weeks ago. Last
Sunday the doctor said the sick woman
could live but a few days longer and it
was settled that the marriage should take
place that day. Mrs. Shumann reclined
upon couch when the ceremony was
performed. Forty-eight hours after the
marriage the bride was cold in death, the
bridegroom having watched at her bedside
constantly from the time of the ceremony
until the end came.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 14-District Attorney
James was to-day notified of the arrest
OF Green TreadweIl, ex-state Senator Sam
Brown, Justice Frank Kilgore, Sye Kill
gore, ]. r. Order. Alfred whitner and
Robert Weaver, all well known citizens of
Murray county. These are the seven al
legged whitecappers who were released in
the United States court last week upon
technical error in the Indictment Judge
Newman ordering a verdict of not guilty
The case against the men was apparently
strong, and since their escape on a slight
technicality, District Attorney James has
been devoting his energies toward bring
ing them to justice. Yesterday he had
warrants sworn out for them for beating
the son of Hooker, the victim in the orig
inal case, and to-day he received no.
tice of the arrests. The Hooker case was
8 most aggravated one, and once they are
brought into court the district attorney is
confident the alleged whitecappers will
get their deserts despite their lucky es-
cape last week.
McCutchin, known as the King" of the
Murray county whitecaps. made a full
confession to-day. He was brought back
yesterday from Arkansas McCutchin
says that he led the band which tried to
lynch Morley and few days later was
member of the crowd which killed him,
McCutchin states that he fired the sec
ond shot and hit Morley as he was falling
to the ground. another member Of the
party having shot him first McCutchin
states that he was tired of trying to elude
arrest and is willing to take the conse-
ouences

Three Lives Lost In West Virginia and Two
In Wisconsin.
HENDR,CKs, w Va. March i4-L d.
jenkins hotel at Mackieville, about four
miles from here, was consumed by fire
about o'clock in the morning. All of
Jenkins household goods were burned up,
with his store goods, which were in the
same building Three men were burned
TO death and three more so badly burned
that two of them cannot live. The dead
are Homer Catlett h. r.. Sisson and Squire
j. S. Corley. The injured are James Jen-
kins, J. Williams and j. Coffner Fifteen
persons escaped by jumping from win
lows
The hotel was big two story frame struc-
ture, and the fire was sweeping through it
when it was first discovered by Mrs. Jen-
kins, who aroused the family and guests
as quickly as possible No effort could be
made to save any effects and the only eff
forts were to arouse those who were asleep.
All had retired when the fire broke out in
the kitchen, and rapidly spread to the sec
ond story. The only two stairways in the
building, one in the front part and one in
the rear, were both cut off when those from
the lower floor gave the alarm. Those who
escaped, therefore, jumped from the win
dows and some sustained slight injuries
in addition to their burns.
Every room was occupied, there being
over forty people in the hotel. Jacob Coff-
ner, William Wilson, j. X. Williams and
James Jenkins were in one room. They
were driven back from the hallway exit
by the flames, and all were badly burned
In trying to escape by the stairway Then
they tried the windows, but the flames
were sweeping up so that they had to
jump through furnace of flames They
were so badly hurt and burned that Coff-
ner is the only one of the four who can re
cover.
In two other rooms on the second floor
were Eugene Sisson, Homer Catlett and
James Corley. They all perished and their
| remains were so charred as to be almost
| beyond recognition. 1t is believed they
| were suffocated and unable to get out of
| their room. The positions in which their
bodies were found would indicate that
| they never got out of their room, and all
| died together.
