test girl in the county, Miss Myrtle
Finley. of Hemlock, is said to be re-
sponsible for the feud that is as bitter
as any ever waged in Kentucky or the
mountains of Carolina.
Miss Finley looked with favor on
Yeager, and they were rumored to be
engaged. Sutton was the accepted
sutton Of Miss Stella Peters, a close
friend and confidant of Miss Finley.
The young men, according to Miss Fin
ley, often had been warned to keep
away from Hemlock, or they would be
''done up" Once, indeed, did the SWANS
of Hemlock threaten Yeager in the
presence of his betrothed.
Their Lives Threatened.
The evidence has disclosed that Yea
ger and Sutton, who resided at Oak
ford, eight miles south of here, were
close friends. and both realized their
danger in calling on their sweethearts
at Hemlock, three miles away.

Cincinnati, May 15.-The true story
of the broken package of poisoned
whisky, which caused the death of one
and the serious illness of four other
Adams Express company employees
Wednesday night, has not yet been
pieced together. There will be no fur
Their deaths as, a result. The men are
recovering rapidly.
Mrs. Lizzie Mccormick, of Memphis,
is accused of sending the package,con-
tanning whisky. Mrs. Kate Noble, to
whom the package was addressed,
identified the handwriting as that OF
Mrs. Mccormick and the local author
tiles requested her arrest at Memphis.
It followed, as did also promise from
her to come to Cincinnati and face
charge of murder without any battle
over the requisition.
Says Sender Was Jealous.
Mrs. Noble was before Chief of Po-
lice MILKY, but could do nothing more
than repeat the statements which she
had made to the police on the preced-
ing night, in effect that Mrs. McCor-
mick was jealous of her because OF i'm
agined attentions to the Cincinnati
woman on the part of Edward Pell,
Memphis saloonkeeper.
The Memphis woman is fearful and
indignant because of her arrest. She
denies absolutely that she sent any
package containing poisons by express
to Mrs. Noble. She does say, however,
that parcel passed between her and
the Cincinnati woman. It contained,
she AYERS, candy baby.
Were Once Friendly.
This happened, Mrs. Mccormick
claims, soon. after Pell returned from
two weeks Cincinnati visit. She AYERS
that the baby was expressed to her by
Mrs. Noble. She regarded it as an I'M
suit, she states, and promptly re.
turned it. Since then she AYERS that
she has never considered Mrs. Noble.
Formerly they were quite friendly and
corresponded regularly.
The Memphis police have asyet been
unable to locate the personwho placed
the package of poison in the express
office. The clerks were busy at the
time and failed to notice whether il
was man or woman.
Defends Accused Woman.
Saloonkeeper Pell told the police that
the women became enemies because
Mrs. Mccormick came to keep house
for him at his cottage. Hampton
place. He intends, he says, to furnish
the woman with the best legal talent
for her defense.
Research made by the police shows
that Mrs. Mccormick has been arrest
ed three times. In each instance the
trouble was caused by fits of jealousy
on her part, and woman figured in
each case.
Charged with Murder.
Memphis, Tenn. May 16.-Detective
j. A. Sweeney, of Cincinnati, arrived.ir

warrant charging Mrs. Lizzie McCor-
mick with the murder of the express

Noble, of that city.
