BRIDE
Husband Killed In Greenwich
Conn, Hotel
ais Death Occurred Within Ten Min.
utes After He Announced His Mar
riage-W Wife Arrested in New York.

Greenwich, Connie Joseph M Neil
blacksmith, twenty-six years old
whose parents live in New York and
who had a large business on the
Belle Haven Road, met death in the
Greenwich Hotel, where he and his
bride Of a few weeks had gone only a
few minutes before.
That he was killed there is no
doubt. Whether 1t was murder, an
accident or the result of a sudden
quarrel are questions the authorities
are trying to solve.
Neil was an athlete. Last spring
he was pitted against Gus Rubin UNI
der a fictitious name He had a pros
porous business and was supposed to
be bachelor.
During the afternoon a woman
about twenty-three years old entered
bis shop and workmen heard loud
words. That night at 1926 he en-
tered the Greenwich Hotel carrying a
suit case and accompanied by the
same woman. He told the landlord
be wanted the bridal chamber.
Ten minutes later the woman came
down stairs and asked that a physi-
clan be called Dr. L. o. Thompson
responded. He found Neil dead, fully
dressed, lying on the floor There
was dark spot under his right eye
and some blood on the floor The
woman gave no explanation, saying
he had suddenly dropped to the floor
dead
His face was deutschland scratched
and the Woman's face was scratched,
too
While the physician was examining
the body the woman took the suit
case, and saying she would spend
the night with her mother in New
York and return in the morning, she
went to the station and took a west
bound train The death was not re-
ported to the police until after she
had left town
The body was removed to Knapp's
morgue and next day an autopsy was
made, which showed that death had
been caused by the brain being
pierced by some pointed instrument.
possibly a hatpin or nail file which
were found on the floor.
1t has been found out that Neil
decided his property here to his sister
Nellie, of New York, in November,
and took the original deed from the
Town Clerks office, where it had
been recorded, during the afternoon.
1t is assumed that when this deed
came to the eyes of Mrs. Neil it may
have led to a quarrel.
New York City.-Chief Of Police
Ritch. of Greenwich, came to Police
Headquarters here with warrant for
the Arrest of Mrs. Neil on charge Of
manslaughter sworn out by Prose-
cutting Attorney Henry B. White, of
Greenwich.
Detective Sergeant Butler was as
signed to assist Chief Ritch. Mrs.
Neil was arrested at her mother s
fiat, 1856 East Ninety-fifth street,
where Mrs Neil had told the doctor
who was called when her husband
was found dead in Greenwich that
she was going.
She was hysterical. Mrs. Nell was
brought to Headquarters in cab and
her record was taken In view of
her hysterical condition she was
taken in an ambulance to the prison
ward Of Bellevue Hospital

WILL BEGIN WORK
ON Two New Lines
Louisville 4 Nashville to- Do Much
Construction Work.

According to information received
from Louisville the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad will begin work on the
two lines in Kentucky running out from
the Chesapeake Nashville line within
a month, and put forth the full force
of the construction department to COM
plete the two lines before next spring.
One of these lines is to run from Scots
vile, or near that point, to point near
Stanford KY, where it will. connect
with the line to Cincinnati. The other
will go from Huntsville, Tenn, or near
there, to Jellico, and beyond, connect
ing with the line to Virginia. The OBJ
ject of the company is said to be to COM
plete these lines as soon as possible, so
work can be started on the double track
work from Gallatin through Nashville
to Birmingham.
This work is expected to be done next
summer, and in order to do it the COM
pany wants the Kentucky work out of
the way, so the full forces can be put
on the main stem. When this double
track work is completed the crews will
be taken back to Gallatin, where they
will begin at once building the second
track to Louisville. 1t is said that the
Louisville & Nashville Road;will do more
construction work in the next two years
than it has ever donein that length of
time. The officials of the company have
given out no announcements Of the COM
pany's intentions, but it is practically
certain that the map of the Louisville &
Nashville year from now Will look very
different from what it does at present.

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.

The sermon of the Rev. A. r. Kasey
at the Methodist church Sunday fore
noon on the objectionable Sin or Sin
sagainst the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of
Truth" was an effort on his part,
which was a rare treat to those who
were so fortunate as to hear it. The
many truths brought out in the dis.
course should put the people to think
ing before they have committed this
great sin, ere it is too late.
Rev. Kasey is deep thinker. He
goes down into the depths of his sub
jects and extracts therefrom thoughts
that are feast for the minds of men
and women. His delivery is peofect-
his logic and force of character are to
be admired by all.
The speaker, during his sermon men
toned terrible evil that is abroad in
the country to-day-that is as serpent
trailing through our fair land. It is the
crime of destruction of unborn Ioff-
spring by women and men, in order
that they may have the pleasures of
marital relations without any inconven-
ienne from same. What will be the
fate of such people in the final judg-
ment day.. The blood they have sacri-
feed will cry out against them. It is
perfectly right for minister. to bring
these thoughts before the minds of the
people and one who is possessed of
sufficient courage and grit to do SO, is
worthy of the praise and admiration of
all good people. F. Mel.

WHOLESALE GROCERY BUILDING.

E. L. Sinclair and Co., have num-
Der of hands now at work on their
wholesale house which is being erected
just below the old hotel building and
fronting the Campbellsville pike. 1t

metal sides. Mr.. Sinclair thinks that
with favorable weather the building
will be ready for occupancy in thirty
days. This firm has been doing a good

but when they get into their new
building their trade will be largely in
creased.
