said that to attempt an operation would prove fatal
 What led up to the shooting, as told by Frank Edwards, a brother of Miss Edwards, is as follows:
 Nellie and Kaiser have been friends for a number of years, and have been going together. Last summer she came to me and told me that she and Kaiser were engaged, and that they were going to get married on the first of October.
 My father when he was living, dislilx- ed Kaiser very much and would not al- low him to come to the house. I have never liked him either, but when Nellie wanted to marry him, I said all right and told her to get what clothing she needed. She went to work and bought her clothing and had her trousseau aI- most completed. My wife helped her make h.
 Seemed Broken-Hearted
 About two months ago she came out to my house one day and seemed broken hearted. She told me that Kaiser had told her about marrying this other wo- man, and told her that he couldn't help it.
 T advised her never to talk to him or to have anything to do with him. He called her up one night and she told him that she did not care to talk to
 
 told her that he intended getting a di- virce from his wife. She told me all about this.
 My wife told me about the conversa- tion she had with some woman over the l telephone, but we thought nothing about it, further than that some friend of my other sister from Attalla was in the city and wished to see Nellie"
 Miss Edwards is considered one of the | -f.-f tfr,an AI ft, lawn, and was a great church worker. She was known all over the town as an earnest Christian character.
 Kaiser was married to Miss Luttrell about two months ago. At that time it is said that she was living at Fifth ave- nue and Nineteenth street, and that Kali ser was also living there.
 It was evident that Mrs. Kaiser intend ed to kill Miss Edwards, as in one of the two notes she left she prayed for strength not to commit the crime. The two notes are as follows:
 Notes Found in Purse.
 "Oh most merciful God, I beg of Thee to change my precious husbands heart and make him be true to me. Oh Lord, I ask that Thou will make him turn against thls other woman. Oh God Thou hast the power to and can within one second change his heart so that he will never see her again and be true to me. Oh Lord, forgive all the sins I have committed and make me a better woman, and may l 1 always love and be true to the man of my love- Oh Lord, forgive my husband s many sins, forgive him for telling the 1 awful lies that he has undoubtedly told | me to try to shield his conscience. Oh l God, put patience in my heart and may l never commit the murder I planned to l do. Forgive me and help me to stand my l trouble I ask for Chrlst's sake. Amen. The other one says
 1 "Oh Lord, I ask Thee to guide and look after my precious husband and keep him from all harm, and put 1t in his heart to be true to me in word, thought and action. I pray that we may gel l along peacably and that she will let us alone. Oh Lord, put 1t in my husbands heart to keep no secrets from me, and this to others, for Christ's sake, Amen. "
