One of the most shocking
tragedies that ever startled this
community was enacted this
morning about 8 o'clock at the
Johnson House, and the scene
presented to those who went to
render assistance to a helpless
woman who had fallen into the
hands of a murderer is seldom
seen outside of a field of car
mage. Sweltering in their own
blood the dead bodies of G w.
Campbell and his wife. Mrs. Ad-
die Campbell, lay within a foot
of each other. Mrs. Campbell's
throat being cut by the razor
found in the hands Of her hus-
band and his throat being cut by
the same deadly weapon. Those
nearest the victims during the
last few moments of their life
little dreamed that such a trag-
edy was being enacted and were
| horror stricken to find that the
deadly work had been done with
but little to attract their atten-
! ton to the principals until just
as the fatal blows were being
struck. ..,-.fssf

with different people along the
