 3e s. Kaiser then stepped forward and
 d to see Miss Edwards.
 s. Edwards called her daughter, who
 retired on account of a sick head
 saying:
 iellie, a lady wants to see you at
 front door" Miss Edwards came to
 front door, and the negro man, who was standing at one side, said:
 'Is this Miss Nellie Edwardsg' Miss Edwards replied that 1t was
 Mrs. Kaiser then stepped to the door 1n the left hand side and commenced shooting with a pistol she had hidden in her dress or purse. She fired three shots. two of which missed their mark, but the third entered Miss Edwards throat just below the chin and lodged in her head. Miss Edwards fell to the floor and told her mother that 1t was the woman who shot her, and not the negro man. Up to that time Mrs Edwards thought 1t was the negro.
 Mrs. Kaiser and the negro turned and ran down the steps as soon as the shots were fired. As they reached the street Mrs Kaiser said;
 "You go one way and I will go the other. Then we will be able to get away"
 On the Street Car.
 An East Lake street car coming towards Birmingham came up at that minute and she boarded it. Chief Gray of Woodlawn heard the shots, as did number of oth- CTS, and they arrived Just too late to stop the street car Chief Gray telephoned to Chief Wier's office in Birmingham and asked that the woman be caught. The only description he could give was that she had yellow and brown ribbon on her hat and was very tall.
 Policemen Ray and Disheroon got on their wheels and rode to Twenty-sixth street, where they met the street car. They boarded it on the rear end and Policeman Ray stopped to ask the con- duetor where that woman on the inside got on the car. Policeman Disheroon went inside, and what happened In there can best be told in his own words. He says:
 Policeman Tells the Story.
 T stepped past the conductor and start ed in the car As I got within six or seven feet of the seat where tnIs woman was sitting she glanced up and saw that l was a policeman She dropped her eyes and commenced fumbling In her lap or under the jacket she was wearing over her dress.
 T then heard a pistol snap twice, as a double action pistol does when 1t strikes a blank cartridge. l sprang towards the woman, thinking she was shooting at me, but before l could touched her a shot rang out and as I grasped her the sec ond shot was fired. The second shot caused her clothing to catch on fire, and she and I both burned our hands putting out the flames.
 .'The woman lived until she reached Twenty first street, but 1t was only a short time, as the car was running very rapidly. We carried her to the undertak- ing establishment of the Gaudin com pany."
 When Miss Edwards fell after she was shot, her mother and brother carried her Lack to her room, where she was placed on the bed Physicians were summoned and they gave her all the medical atten- tion possible.
