LOVERS FEARFUL ACT
Kills Girl Who Rejected Him and
Hcr Newly Welded Husband.

1AGK &NCNby W CUNA0u 11USUAuUs
Montgomery, Mo-: News has been re-
ceived of the murder ON Oct. 4 of Frank
Walker and a newly welded bride by a
disappointed lover, who then killed him
self. A. child was seriously wounded by a
stray shot. All concerned were promi-
nent residents of Montgomery County.
The murder occurred at the home of
James Cook, nine miles east of here, where
the couple and their friends had gone to
eat the welding supper.
Walker, who had no relatives, worked
around the farm. He and Miss Maud
Goshorn drove to Montgomery and were
married. Then they drove out to the Cook
home, where a supper was prepared. Fol-
lowing n pretty custom, all the company
left the dining room when supper was
over, leaving the bride and groom tothem-
selves for a brief period before the dance
should begin. They sat side by side at the
head of the tablet in frontof an uncurtained
window. 1t was then that Rankin shot
the couple, firing with a shotgun through
the window. When the guests rushed in
they found the couple dead in their chairs,
their heads riddled with shot.
n curious child, Il member of the Cook
family, who was also in the room, was
badly wounded.
None saw the murderer and his identity
was unknown until his dead body was
stumbled over outside the house.
n letter left by Rankin revealed the fact
that he was a rejected lover of Miss Gosh
orn's, and he committed the murder be-
cause she married another.
