WOMAN IN THE CASE.

Ludlow Skinner, the young man who
was shot and killed on the streets of
Raleigh, N. c., a few days since by
Ernest Haywood. prominent lawyer
of that place, was once resident of
Athens. His father, DIR. Thomas f.
Skinner, was pastor of the Baptist
Church in this city quite a number of
years ago, and at that time Ludlow
was small boy. According to the
Charlotte Observer the central figure
in the killing is a woman. She is Mrs.
Gertrude Tucker, widow of the late
William Tucker who was the only
son of Mai. Rufus Tucker, of Raleigh
She is a daughter of the late Mai.
John c. Winder and is a beautiful
woman. After Maj. fuckers death,
Ernest Haywood became legal mana
ger of the~Tucker estate or acted in
the capacity of advisor to Mrs. Flor
ence Tucker, the widow of Mai Tuck
er. The position of Mr.. Haywood
threw him in more or less contact
with Mrs. Gertrude Tucker. More than
year ago it was whispered in social
circles here that Mrs. William Tucker
and Mr. Ernest Haywood had been Sc
cretly married The report soon became
town talk in this city and went outside
of Raleigh. but found no confirmation,
from either of the alleged contracting
parties. The world saw that Mr.. Hav-
wood and Mrs. Tucker were together
a great deal in this place and then it
became known that they had been out
of town together in the larger north
ern cities. Scandal inevitably resulted
and for many months Mrs. Gertrude
Tucker has not been in this city. Some
times her three children were with her
as she Travelled from place to place in
the North, but more often they were
with their grandmother, Mrs. Flor
ence Tucker in this city But Mrs.
Tucker remained away from home
and soon story came back that SPELL
ed misery. For Mrs. Tucker, unac-
knowledCed as a wife, came to the
point where it seemed necessary that
she write her name Mrs. Ernest Hay

wood At any rate, she did this many
times. And still Ernest Haywood said
nothing of his marriage. He is a ner-
voIs man, shy, sensitive, proud. and
his best friends feared to quest him
on such delicate subject. But the
period came when talk was loud to
the clamor point and because a wom-
ans honor was at stake, Haywood was
asked if he was married to Mrs.
Gertrude Tucker. He replied
that he was not married to
her. Friends of Mrs. Tuck
er insisted that ceremony had been
performed either in New York or Bos-
ton; but except in answer to a point
blank question, Haywood said nothing"
Ludlow Skinner had married Miss Oc-
tavia Winder, a young sister of Mrs.
Gertrude Tucker. who openly suffered
over the blight that had been cast up
on the good name of her family, and
it is supposed that he attempted to
aVenge the insult paid his sister-in-
law. Haywood is in Jail awaiting his
trial on the charge of murder.

Office of the Peace River Phosphate

it with greater vehemence than be-

Bibb Superior Court room Monday at
tcrnoon. The jury had brought in a
verdict of guilty against Foster Ma
bry, a negro. for burglarizing the store

before him on which he had, on a for
mer occasion. sentenced the negro to
five years in the penitentiary for a
similar offense. AS the judge held the
paper he told the negro that he had
sentenced him once before for five
years for burglary. IN give you
twenty years" said the judge, "as I
may not be alive to sentence you
again. Il hope you won't. 1 hope

ed reply. The negro had been given the
