The first bullet entered her heart,
killing her instantly.
Reinhart then turned the pistol up
on himself and fired two bullets into
his own breast He is not expected
to survive.

A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Coroner at Macon Returns His Verdict
In the Case of C. l.. Clark.

NOFOneT aL WAGON returns Ills NSfOICI
In the Case of C. l.. Clark.
Macon, Ca, June 27.-Tn the killing
of G. S. Tyner by G. L. Clark Monday
night the jury of the coroner's jnuest
returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by a gunshot wound,
the gun being in the hands of C. l..
Clark and that the killing was the re;
suit of mistaken identity.
1t was clearly demonstrated that
the two men were not only friends,
but in reality very close to each other
just short while before the kill
ing. The dead man was assistant
night yardmaster of the Central rail
road in this city, and the one who
fired the fatal shot was the yard
master. These officials have been
bothered great deal recently by
trespassers in the yards at night and
not few robberies have taken place.
When Clark saw Tyner in the yards
Monday night he took him for a thief
and when he failed to answer the
command of halt, fired. The result
was death.
Clark is very much worked up over
the killing and is suffering intensely
from nervous shock, as the result of
his unintentional act.
