WOMAN IS SHOT
Man Who Stole for Her,
Spurned, Fires on Her,
Then Ends Life.

RENO, NEV Nov. 23.-PAysicians
attending Mrs. Estelle Baggott, OF Los
Angeles and New York, who wa shot
yesterday by Harry S. W GEMS, of Bal
timore, VINO afterward killed himself,
today held out no hope for her recovery.
Weems whose meteoric career in
matrimony included four unhappy mar
riages. left a note addressed to Police
Chief Hilhouse, explaining mis- act, part
of which follows:
Il am awfully sorry to resort to such
a measure, but when a woman runs
away after making a man go to ex-
tremes to get money for her and then
refuses to come to his aid, it's time to
quit And yet l idolize her. Now that
she has another, she leaves me to face
the penitentiary. Kindly notify my
brother in Baltimore. This woman, Es-
telle Baggot. has ruined my life. She
has already ruined one life her hus-
band whom she comes here to get rid
of. This is my second attempt and 1
hope it will be the last"
The authorities said that Weems'
family had claimed his remains and
that they would be shipped to Balti-
more.
Weems had planned the shooting In
advance and he left several letters tell
ing of his intentions. One was ad-
dressed to Los Angeles admitting that
he had embezzled. He also told of his
past marriages. His first wife was
from Charlotte, Va; his second was
Ada Crosby, Of Richmond, Va; his
third was Iva Moore, Of Washington,
and his fourth was Catherine Moore, OF
Buffalo, n. Y.
Mrs Baggot, who was a member of
the divorce colony, was shot while In
the dressing room of a bath house at
Moana Springs. The bullets entered
her abdomen, causing mortal wounds.

necessary and yet dib,urb not at all the

1t is rather a significant circum-
stance in connection with the govern
ors remarks on the subject of the pro-
posed change in the text of the King
James Bible that he is the possessor
of one of the few original copies of that
book extant.
The governor owns a copy, printed
directly from the original type, that
actually belonged to the king himself
and is decorated accordingly with the
English royal coat of arms. Attached
to the inside cover of the book is
certificate of its genuineness.
This Bible was presented to the gov
ernor by his brother, the late Julius
L. Brown, as a token of his love and
abiding affection. Between the gov
ernor and his brother julius a most
tender and loyal attachment existed.
julius L. Brown was famous book
collector-one Of the most famous In
the nation. His library was filed to
overlooking with the quaint. the rare
and the beautiful in books. 1t was, in
deed, a token of genuine love and
affection, when he parted with one Of
the most priceless books In his posses
sion-the King James Bible-even to
one so near and 50 dear as Brother
Joe"
However he did give the book to the
governor-and there is nothing in the
governors possession he values more.
The book, though somewhat faded
with age and printed more or less
queerly, as things go nowadays, still is
in a most excellent state Of preserva-
ton. The governor keeps this partic-
ular book in his private office at the
capitol, and frequently. when wishing
to use a Biblical quotation refers d.
rectly to it, rather than to the more
modern and less ornate edition near by

MACON SLEUTHS REGULAR
FINGER PRINT SHERL0CKS

MACON, GA, Nov. 2S.-Macon police
have worked out real Sherlock
Holmes case, arresting a negro who
burglarized the office Of local lumber
company with only the blood finger
prints on a dusty desk as a clew. The
finger prints indicated that mans
right hand had been cut, and as the
window was smashed in order to effect
an entrance it was guessed that the
burglar wounded himself in that way.
After three days Of watching, the po-
lice arrested a negro who had three cuts
on his right hand. Witnesses were
found who swear that they saw the ne
gro near the plant on the night of the
robbery He was formerly employed at
the place, and was familiar with the
premises. He has been bound over to
the superior court for trial.
