BODY DISMEMBERED

Jesse Wisenhunt and the placing
under surveillance of Mrs. Wisen-
hunt and her daughter, Bertha,
all being charged by a coroner's
jury with the murder of Isaac
Wisenhunt. following the find
ing of the dismembered body of
the man in an old we'll on the
Wisenhunt farm, has created a
sensation never before equalled
in Howard county.
Wisenhunt disappeared during
last January, and there has al
ways been a suspicion that he
met with foul play. Mrs. Wisen-
hunt has always maintained that
she could not explain her hus-
bands disappearance, and it
was not until recently that a
clue to the murder was found.
Several months ago John
Chandler, a half brother of the
dead man, started an investiga-
ton and discovered that an old
cellar on the Wisenhunt place
had been walled in. This aroused
his suspicious and he questioned
Mrs. Wisenhunt. She is alleged
to have ordered him away from
the farm.
He related his experience to
G. A. Pace, a deputy sheriff of
Pike county. Pace called re.
peatedly at the Wisenhunt home
and questioned Mrs. Wisenhunt
each time about her husband s
disappearance. He learned that
the wall in the cellar had been
torn out and when he searched
the cellar the body was not
there.
He continued to cross-question
Mrs. Wisenhunt, however, and
finally on Saturday, the woman
told him that she had killed her
husband and disposed of his
body.
Pace notified Sheriff Haller
and Prosecuting Attorney Pinnix
of this county and they went to
Wisenhunt home Sunday. Mrs
Wisenhunt was subjected to a
sharp cross-eXamination. She
refused to tell where the body
could be found.
A search was made over the
entire farm without result. Pro-
scouting Attorney Pinnix again
questioned the woman, and she
finally told him, he says, that
her husbands body was in a
well.
1t was found there, but one
leg, one arm and part of the
other leg were missing. 1t is
believed that these limbs were
cut off when an attempt was
made to burn the body,
Sheriff Haller Immediately
placed the Wisenhunt woman
and children under arrest. A
coroner's jury was impaneled,
and the jurors returned a yer
dict charging the murder to the
four prisoners. The two boys
were brought to Nashville yes
terday and lodged in Jail, but
they refuse to discuss the case.
An armed guard is on duty at
the Wlsehunt home.
Mrs. Wisehunt says she killed
her husband on the night of
January 16, while he was intoxi-
Gated and in the act of trying to
kill her older son, WalteE Wis
enhunt, she said, had been to
Nashville, and arrived home
drunk. He had raised a gun to
shoot the hoy, she declared,
when she shot and killed him.
Sheriff Haller says the body
had first been buried Immediate
i ly after Wisenhunt was killed in
a cellar on the farm. Later,
fearing discovery, the woman is

STATE FAIR WILL INCLUDE NAM
MOTH AUTO EXHIBIT.

September 10Th has been named as
special occasion for the Motor enthu
siasts. It will be one Of the best days
at the fair. Keeping abreast of the
times. the State Fair management has
provided a splendid building to present
an automobile show which will be
worthy of Nashville and the entire
State as regards the automobile In
dustry. While the idea of the motor
show In connection with the fair is
new, 1t is figured by those in charge
that motor cars and kindred lines are
prominent enough in the State to In,
sure a widespread interest among fair
visitors. In other words, the motor
car industry in Tennessee Is Of great
mportance-hence every effort will
be put forth to produce a show that
will adequately reproduce the prog
ress and achievements of the motor
industry, within the borders Of the
State. 1t will be a big auto show, a
good roads gathering, an automobile
convention and a pleasure trip com,
bined. Many parties from different
parts of the State have already
planned to make the trip to the faii
In their machines.

Congregational Church Notes

Next sabbath Rev. Roy E. Guild,
 Secretary of the Church Building -o. | eiety, will address Us on the work of that organization. Mf. Guild az the successor Of Rev. George Hood has proven himself in every way equal 10 the situation and has so brought the society to the attention of tue churches that the receipts to this branch of our benevolent work are exceedingly Rrati. lying. In the evening Mir. Guild will give an illustrated lecture on Twin ming the West. Those who heard him in his nddress sThe Man from Italys will surely want to listen to him upon this theme. There is pos sibiliiy that MT. Guild will meet the men and tell them something of the work and worth Of the Congregational Brotherhood in which he is particular. ly interested. MT. Guild spoke in New London Sunday evening, and the Tel egraph of that city, speaks of the lee tufe as follows:
 "Rev Roy k. Guild, New England secretary of the Congregational Church Building society gave n thrilling stere- opticon lecture on the Winning of the West at the regular monthly mission sry meeting al the Second congrega- tionai church last evening. The pie tufes were very interesting. Rev. MT. Guilds address was instructive and the large audience praised the speak CT
 II may not be amiss to acquaint the congregation with some of the needs of the parish in connection with improve. ments on its property. The committee has been notified by the city clerk that the sidewalk in front of the parsonage must bc repaired and the house itself sadly needs a coat of paint. IL Is some twelve or fifteen years since 1t was last painted under the direction ot Mr. Bandy. The faet that after all these years the paint retains some of it's freshness k a tribute to his honesty and faithfulness.
 The exercises of Sunday morning were in harmony with The sentiment of Mothers Day and at the close of the sermon six little girls dressed In white, distributed white carnations to the mothers in the congregation and to the choir.
