This statement, made by Boxing
Instructor Fred Creel of the S. A

Woman Stays Affinity.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. ll.-Mrs.
Fannie Waters, seamstress, sent a
bullet through the brain of E. C.
Flanary, salesman, as he lay reading
a newspaper on couch in room on
the fourth floor at No. 144 South
Main street.
Mrs. Waters then stretched herself
across bed, and shot herself to
death.
The police believe that Mrs. Wat
ers, who was a sweetheart of Flanary
before he married, committed the
deed in fit of jealousy.
Mrs. Fern Flanary, bride of seven
months, sat up all night in her home
awaiting the return of her husband.
When Flanary failed to put in his
appearance, she suspected that he
had gone to the room of Mrs. Waters
and called in friends who found the
bodies.
Letters left in Mas. Waters room
showed that Flanary had written to
her from limo, Mo-, about a year
ago, for money to come to Memphis.
Mrs. Waters is believed to have come
from Kentucky.
