CONTAIN
SECRET OF TRAGEDY
MILTON WOMAN GIVES
REASON FOR AWFUL DEED
Letters Were Directed to Members of
the Harper Family-Intimacy Had
Developed Into Serious Complica-
tions,

Locked securely in the vaults in
the office of County Treasurer Brad
ley are four or five letters which con-
tain the secret of the terrible tragedy
enacted at Milton Wednesday morn
ing in which Joe Harper and Mrs.
Mamie Myrtle Kyle both died, the
one a murdered man and the other a
suicide. Despite every effort to keep
the existence of these letters from the
public, the secret has leaked out and
the motive which impelled a woman
to deliberately kill a man and then
take her own life has become known.
In these letters, three of which were
addressed to members of the Harper
family, the woman had set down the
reason for her deed and it was as or
ig nally surmised. The two victims
of the tragedy had known each other
for several months, an intimacy had
developed which was attended by nu-
merous clandestine meetings with the
result that the woman was soon in a
condition THAT made discovery of
their relations only a matter of a
short time. She had secured a divorce
and it IS believed that Harper had
promised to do likewise but had fall
ed to keep his promise. Unable to
Withstand the disgrace which must
soon be hers, she had resolved upon
her betrayer.
Letters Are Vindictive.
The letters were written on the
night before the tragedy and all were
the same. AT least it is supposed that
all were alike for the only two of
which were read were identical. They
were couched in a spirit of bitter vim
dictiveness and give evidence of a
state of mind bordering on insanity.
The letters fere found by County
Commissioner H. NJ. Coskburn who,
together with Coroner Ralph Folsom,
Deputy District Attorney Pruitt and
four of the Milton jurymen, broke
open two of the letters and read the
contents. SO bitter was the wording
that the seven men decided that it
would be cruelty to deliver them to
the persons to whom they were ad-
dressed and determined to maintain
silence concerning the letters and the
contents.
Such secrecy proved impossible,
however, and last night the news
leaked out in Milton. Both Coroner
Folsom and Deputy District Attorney
Pruitt admit the finding of the letters
but refuse to discuss the contents be-
yond confirming the reports as to the
motive of the crime.
