Sensation Deepens.
The Arrest, Conviction and
Release of Anna Math-
eWs.
The Auburn Hair, Tan Slippers, Brown
Glove Remnants from the SuppOs
ed Bloody Tragedy Near Logan,
Correspond to those Worn by this
Woman.

1t will be remembered that on
Wednesday evening of last week
the citizens of Walnut Street, as
we heretofore chronicled, were
much disturbed by the rushing of a
disrobed woman through this thor
oughfare, promiscuously firing a
revolver at the heels of a party of
fleeing young men. This vision of
womankind was subsequently ar.
raigned before Mayor Smiths
court the next day and gave her
name as Anna Mathews and was
fined $40 and cost, and repaired to
the city prison. About ten O'clock
in the evening kindly young gem
tleman came to her assistance, paid
the fine and costs $1260, and Sc
cured her release. The court or
dered that If this sobriquet should
again be seen in our midst he would
order her arrest, and ultimate re-
tention In the GAINESVILLE halls of
correction, That meant more
money from her paramount, so he
coughed up $25 and shipped her to
her home near Athens on Friday
morning. This was supposed to
he the ultimatpm of this sensation,
but the finding of the startling
evidence of foul play at the Falls
Mill west of Logan, when compared
with the daily apparel of this wo-
man gave such striking likeness,
that investigation is being pushed
vigorously as to her safety. II is
evident beyond a. doubt that this
woman, though having been seen
leave this city Friday morning,
was again seen on back street in
company with man on Saturday
night, and those that were arrous-
ed from their beds Sunday night

limits by screaming and fireing of
revolvers, saw horse being driven
west at an awful speed, II girl an
swering the DESCRIPTION of the same,
standing up in the buggy. Think
ing it drunken spree, they gave
the matter no more consideration
until the awful evidence of a
tragedy were found on Monday
morning. The chain of evidence
is being more closely nit every day
to this identity. We indeed hope
that The fair name of Logan will
not be blotted by the discovery Of
such to be true, but the latest ir-
formation we can get from the
actions and clam features of the
public working on the case, point
to this awful end.
