Seeing.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 3.-The
lifeless body of Lille Palmer, hand
some 1S-year-old girl, Of Atlanta, was
found In an abandoned railroad cut on
the side of Lookout mountain with her
throat cut from ear to ear. The au-
thorities are looking for Ed. Turner,
who came here from Atlanta with the
girl and who is believed TO have com.
mitted the murder.
Excitement was high near the scene
of the killing and had Turner been
found in that section necktie party
would have been the result
The evidence adduced before the
coroner's jury came largely from F..
f. Reeves and j. e. Jones, both At
lanta boys, who came here on the
same train with the couple. They
state that Turner and the Palmer
woman had been married. The four
went to the foot or the mountain. Tur-
ner and the Palmer woman started to
walk up the mountain, the boys re-
turning to take a car to the city. Tur-
ner was seen to take car to the
city. He was alone.
The only cause that can bo assigned
for the murder is jealousy.

The schooner was bound from New
York to Virgins, s. c., for cargo
and was swept out Of her course by
the storm.
Shortly after midnight she ran on
the beach and was discovered In the
breakers by coast guard from the
Nags Head station. On account OF the
high sea no attempt was made to
launch the boats. A line was shot
over the schooner and the breeches
buoy was run out.
When the surfmen pulled 1t In they
were surprised to find young woman
as its passenger. She is the daughter
of Capt. Fletcher, of the wrecked craft.
Then one by one the seven members
of the schooners crew were hauled to
safety through the seas, and on the
last trip Capt Fletcher came in.

governments coast wires say that the
schooner is high on shore, but seem
ingly In good condition.

was being towed to the coast and
broke her hawser in the storm, two
days ago.
