body was found only after several hours
search.
Mrs. Evans, who was 26 years old, was
society woman. She was married to
Evans in 1898. Last Wednesday she
filed suit for divorce, alleging drunken
ness and cruelty, and at the same time
brought suit demanding that her hus-
band pay $500 for rent of the barn oc-
cupied by the company of which he is
manager. Two years ago Mrs. Evans
gained some notoriety by horsewhipping
a man who had attempted to f1irt with
her.
Evans was born in Kentucky 81
years ago, and his father was sheriff
of Breathitt county, the scene of many
bloody feuds. The elder Evans was
himself shot and killed as the result
of feud. Evans had lived in Kansas
City for many years, and is said to
have been married twice before. He
married Lille Maude Perry, the 16-
year-old daughter of Mrs. E. G. Perry,
widow of Argentine, Kan, against
the latter's wishes. Evans built up a
prosperous transfer business from
$4,000 given him by the woman he
killed.

WARDEN RESIGNS POSITION
Man Who Whipped Miss De Crist
Quits His Place.
Prison Commission Decides That He
Acted Within His Authority
Girls Claim Declared False.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 1.-THE Georgia
prison commission, which has been in
yestigating the whipping of Mamie de
Crist, white woman convict on the
state prison farm, made its report
Saturday With the report came the
announcement of the resignation OF
Warden Allagood and acceptance by
the commission. The charges of i'm
proper proposals by Allagood, alleged
by the woman, and similar conduct to-
wards other female convicts, are found
to be absolutely false and malicious.
The report says the warden acted en-
tirely within his authority in whip
ping Miss De Crist, and that he was
led to it by severe aggravation. The
commission concludes that this par
ticular punishment was an "error on
the part of the warden, who, recogniz-
ing that his usefulness may have been
impaired by reason of the prejudice
against him caused by the De Crist af-
fair, has voluntarily handed in his res
ignation."

local authorities to acknowledge them
selves participants in the crime.
