"Why, everyone expected it a month

Not a word of truth in it," an

leaving three puzzled faces behind.
Hayne went straight to the editor
of the Social Calendar, with whom he
had some acquaintance. The latter
looked up from his writing with a
smile.

From the lady herself. Yes, here it

Hayne glanced at the dainty note,
with its familiar breath of heliotrope.
"Her monogram, but not her writing"
he said. ''This could not possibly have

MURDERER
Hairless Tells Of His Own
Awful Crime.
Special to the Leader.

Special to the Leader
Charleston, w. va, Aug lathe
correspondent has just returned from
Brownstone, where hesaw Wyatt Har-
less. the young man who ten days
ago shot and killed his sweetheart,
Miss Maude Pauly, and then made an
unsuccessful attempt to take his own
life, and got from him the first public
statement he had made of the tragic
affair.
The young man was found at tho
home of his father, in bed, with his
head bound up and his eyes coy
cred. for it is still'a question whether
the sight of the one least damaged can
be preserved. He was perfectly ra-
tional, as he has been most of the
time since the shooting, and can rec
ognize the voice of anyone with whom
he is we'll acquainted. He showed no
| indisposition to talk, and readily an
swered questions addressed to him.
"Maude and l had made up our
minds that we would die together"
said he, land the time set for it was
the evening before the day the at
tempt was made. l went for her that
evening, but there were some lady
friends visiting her at the time, and
she could not so. Next evening, how
ever, we went. We walked up the
creek some distance past the bridge,
and as we came back Maude said:
The bridge is as good place as any
and we went up on it and sat down.
| sat down first and she sat down be-
side me. We talked about ten milt
utes, and then | took my pistol out
and shot her, according to our agree
ment, and with her consent. | then
tried to kill myself, and | am sor-
ry | didn't succeed.
1--WE we're the best of friends, had
not quarreled, and l had nothing to
kill her for except that we had agreed
that We would both die together. She
was as good a girl as l ever knew,
and as virtuous as a child. l wrote
the note found in my hat myself but
with her consent"
The bullet which Hairless fired into
his own head entered the right temple
on a line with the eyebrow and came
out about three inches above the cor
ner of the left eyebrow. 1t cut the
cord of the right eye, which hangs
out on the cheek, the sight gone en-
tirely. There is hope of saving the
left eye, and he will be brought here
as soon as it is safe to move him
for an operation.
There was good teal of talk about
lynching, but that has almost blowr
over, and, although there are few who
take any stock in the idea that thC
girl was cognizant Of Hairless inten
tion, it is now believed that the law
will be allowed to take it's course.
A peculiar thing in connection will
the matter is that although the Pau
lys lived within four hundred yards
of the place of the shooting, and OF
the same lot with the Harnesses, tht
girls father was not informed Of tn,
killing until an hour and a half afte
it had occurred.
