MURDERED IN CHURCH.

While the last notes OF the Doxology
were being sung yesterday In the little
Methodist church at Ben Hill, a quiet
hamlet q short distance from Atlanta,
Ga. two pistol shots were heard aud O
young girl was seen to sink, dying, Into
her fathers arms. Miss Lila Suttles,
eighteen years old, was twice shot and
almost instantly killed by Willard Lee,
twenty-five years old. Both are of
good families.
The deed was prompted by jealousy
on the part of Lee. He had been pay
ing devoted attention to Miss Suttles
for some time, and was resentfnl over
the admiration she received from other
sultors. Lee was seated In church yes
terdsy directly behind his intended vic.
tim. During the service he leaned over
and spoke to her, seekiDg to make an
engagement for the evening service.
She declined his invitation to accom-
pany him on the ground of having o
previous engagement. Lee was then
heard to say to her in an excited vhis-
per that he would kill her II she did not
accompany him, as he had requested.
Her only reply was a smile, as she
turned her back to him.
The morning service had been CON-
pletsd and the last hymn was being
sung when Lee was seen to draw re.
volver from his pocket and fred twice.
Oae Of the shots went direct to the
heart OF the girl, the other penetrating
the left lung. Der father was standing
beside her and as she sank toward the
floor he gathered her 10 his arms. She
died Almost instantly.
As soon as Lee fred the second shot
he made 8 bolt for the door of the
church and started for the woods. Be-
fore he had disappeared more that fifty
men were in pursuit OF him. A posse
of nearly Eve hundred formed quickly,
and bloodhounds were procured from
a convict camp less than two miles
from the scene. The trail Of Lee was
readily taken up, and the posse is now
10 hot pursuit. Lee will be lynched
when caught.
