WOMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER.
CHARGED WITH HAVING KILLED
HER HUSBAND.

At FIRST IL Appeared to he Case of
suicide. But a witness Was Found
Who saw the ShootinG-Mrs Jane
Graves of AIexanderviIIe in jain
mt Valdosta-A Lynching Bee Was
Feared for Time, Hut Cooler
Heads Prevailed.
vaIdosta. Ca. June 22.-Mrs. Jane
Graves of Alexanderville was brought
here this morning and lodged in Jail on
1ba charge of numbering her husband.
The tragedy occurred last Sunday after
noon. and was reported as case of sui
eide. The citizens in that community
were not satisfied with this theory, and
the coroners jury investigated the case
for two days
Enough circumstantial evidence was
gotten 70 justify the arrest Of the woman.
Messages were sent here asking Sole
itor General william Thomas to come
down to the commitment trial. and he
went down yesterday. The trial occurred
at Alexanderville, and there was deep in
dignation among the people there over the
tragedy.
Il was feared for a while that the hear
ing would develop into a lynching bee so
strong was the feeling, as each page or
the testimony against the woman was IN
folded.
Eye witness to the shooting.
The most startling testimony was that
of young man named George Register
who worked with Graves and his wife
and who stated that ne saw Mrs Graves
shoot her husband, then throw the empty
cartridges out of the weapon and hastily
place the pistol in his hand as he laid upon
the floor in the throes of death. Empty
ing the pistol of its discharged shells de-
stroyed the theory of suicide, but the
murderess did not think of that at the
time.
It was also stated at the trial that
Graves and his wife had been quarreling
during the morning because she had been
out riding with a young man. She intend
ed going out again ia the afternoon, but
he forbade her, and thus the quarrel was
renewed. 1t was stated that he
feared that she would shoot
him, and that he got her pistol and
took the cartridges from it, but she made
him give them up.
According TO the statement of George
Register, she was standing in the kitchen
when her husband walked out on the
porch and started TO the lot TO stop boy
from hitching up a horse with which mis-
wife was going driving.
As he crossed the porch two shots rang
out and he dropped 10 the floor dead in
moment Both balls entered his right
shoulder and ranged down through his
body.
VIII De Sensational Case.
The woman was accompanied here by a
3-year-old adopted child. and very hand
some child il is. The woman is intelli-
gent looking, plump figure, neat and at
tractive, aged about forty years. She de-
MES the charges against her, and says that
she does not know who did the killing
The case will probably outrank the famous
Mobiles case, as the parties stand higher
in the community than the Mobiles did and
are more intelligent in every way.
The murdered man was a prosperous
farmer and machinist. The couple mad
been married fifteen years and had lived
together happily until recently
