Deserts His Sick wife

Leaving his sick wife absolutely
penniless, with their three-year-old
babe so i'll that it may not recover,
with two other children in a home
empty of bare necessities of life save
what the charity of neighbors places
there, A. H. Daniel, Main street
merchant has disappeared from his
home and business i
His wife says he has deserted her
left her in the middle of the night,
taking his clothes and what cash he
had, leaving her without penny in
the world, without a days food in
the house with which to>still the cries
for bread of their children.
The babe in its cot, sick almost onto
death. appealed not to its father, said
the stricken wife. as she rocked back
and forth on the porch of the humble
home en- Aspen street, moaning her
bitter sorrow to sympathetic neigh
bors who sought vainly to comfort
her.
She looked it. A pathetic figure,
truly-weak, wan and tired-with two
little tots pulling her skirts and the
littlest one in its crib moaning feeb1y.
Hes gone and left me stranger.
without cent in the world and with
the little one in yonder so sick

been sick in bed, all Summer myself,
and I'm hardly able to- set up now.

lively cooperating with local author
tiles. Incentive to good work.

rewards offered for the arrest and
conviction of Myrtle Hawkins MUIR
derers will aggregate $500 and pos
sibly reach still larger sum.
Governor Kitchin has officially of
fered reward of $3.50.
The county commissioners will un-
doubtedly offer similar amount.
Subscription lists now being cir
cu1ated amongst the business men
men will raise possibly a thousand
dollars
Captain Bailey, for instance, the
Southern Railway Company's very
efficient representative here, says he
will be one of twenty business men to
subscribe $50 each. He is down for
his $50
The eagerness with which the lists
are being signed, the names of the

Hendersonyille's Tragedy.


From The Spartanburg Herald.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.
Now Hendersonville comes forward
with tragedy surrounded with mys-
terry, and promises to take the. place
of Chesterfield Courthouse as date
line on the front pages of the daily
papers. The body of Miss Myrtle
Hawkins, a popular and attractive
young lady of that town, has been
found floating in Oceola lake, one of
the beautiful bodies of water of that
picturesque region. There is no ex-
PLANTATION of the young woman s
death. the coroner's jury having re-
turned a verdict of death by means
unknoWnf leaves the mystery un-
solved. Accounts of the tragedy sent
out Sunday give little intimation of
any clue that may be offering the
authorities basis for further inves-
tigation.
Certainly, if it is case of foul
play, every effort will be made by
the North Carolina authorities to ap-
prehend those who may be respon-
sibleN for the girls death. BY reason
OF the young lady's wide acquain-
tance, the circumstances surrounding
her death and the fame of Hender-
sonville where, during the last three
months, thousands of persons from
all parts of the country have spent
their vacations, the tragedy will at
tract much interest.

CORONER KIRK TO HOLD SECOND INQUEST !!
IN MURDER MYSTERY!

was murdered, and the reason FOL
that murder will be shown at the in
quest Friday.
Also the method will be proved
and it is hoped, much more illuminat-
ing evidence thrown on the case.
With the suicide and the accidental
drowning theories cast aside, now
also is the theory Of death in the
woods beginning to be discredited by
those investigating the case.
The murder was undoubtedly COM
mitted in some house or in some
barn not far from Lake Osceola.
Whether or not that house was de-
serted, or whether 1t was occupied by
people having guilty knowledge OF
the crime being committed under
meath their roof are facts which will
soon be known.
No stone, no bit of S, evidence, no
matter apparently how insignificant,
is being discarded as worthy of in
vestigation, and to repeat, it is i'm
possible for the guilty parties to
escape.
Was to Have Married Miss Hawkins,
Mr.. Hal Cooper, the murdered
girls af11anced husband arrived in
town this morning and was immedi-
Ately taken to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w H. Hawkins il Flat Rock
Mr.. Cooper is connected with the
Exum Furniture Company of john
ston City. and is most highly esteem
ed by his employers and a wide cir
Gle CT friends there.
Mr.. Cooper was not absent from
Johnston city last week and knew
nothing of the murder of Miss Haw-
kins until late Monday night.
He was completely upset by the
tragedy and knew of no reason why
Miss Hawkins should have destroyed
herself. OF course, that theory has
long been discarded
Mr. Cooper was last in Hender-
sonville in June. To Johnston
City newspaper reporter Mr.. Coop
er's mother stated that she did not
think her son and Miss Hawkins
were engaged.

Another victim was added to the
list Of fatal occurrences here this sum
mer when the body Of Miss Myrtle
Hawkins, daughter of Mr. ana Mrs.
w. H. Hawkins of this city was
found early Sunday morning in the
waters of Oseola Lake
All Hendersosville was startled when
the news of the body having been
discovered floating in the lake by two
boys early Sunday morning. Crowds
quickly gathered at the waters edge
and when the body was taken out
there was no one present who could
identify the person The body was re-
moved to the undertaken establish
ment of the Hendersonville Furniture
Store. Here hundreds of people view
ed the remains, various of opinions
were heard, not one of them is the
least thought that it was the body of
pretty Miss Hawkins who was SO well
known here where she has lived all
her life and had scores of loved friends
and relatives.
Body Identified.
A. H. Hawkins, brother of the de-
ceased young lady was the first to
identify the body as that of his sister.
The news spread rapidly over the city.
Wild rumors were heard on every cor
ser but nothing definite was gained
until after the coroner's inquest Sun
day afternoon, of which full report
is printed below.
Miss Hawkins was very popular
young girl, hardly twenty years of age.
She was a member of one of the most
highly respected families in the coun-
ty The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is extended to the bereaved
family.
W. H Hawkins and his son, A. W.
Hawkins, are proprietors OF the Haw-
kins jewelry store Of this city.
Who murdered Myrtle Hawkins,
and why, will soon no longer be
closed secrets.
Coroner William Reddin Kirk
says he will hold another inquest
over the remains of the murdered
girl.
This second inquest will be held on
Friday.
The remains of the murdered girl
will not necessarily be exhumed !
The verdict of the second coroner's
Jury, under the intelligent direction
OF the county's most efficient coro-
ner. will be more Illuminating than

Additional evidence in possession
of the police is enabling them to trace

She was seen at different points
during that day. 1t has been impos-
sible, heretofore, to account for her
movements at any time on Thursday
after she left her Flat Rock home on
that morning.
Mr. Hal Cooper, who was engaged
to be married to Miss Myrtle, arriv-
ed here this morning. He was met
at the depot by member of the FAM

home of the dead girls bereaved

He was perfectly willing to talk
but disclaimed knowledge of any
facts which might in the least help

the strangest murder in North Caro-

fever heat 1t shows no sign of de-
creasing, and the murder is natural-

and conviction of the murderers.
The county authorities have as yet

understood they will offer $3.50 re-

The business men and citizens OF
Hendersonville will raise fund of
probably not less than one thousand

possibly towards the necessary ex-
penses of outside detectives.
These facts indicate the state of
