DR.. BRINKLEY'S SLAYER
TOOK OATH TO KILL ANY
MAN SPURNING HER Love
Pretty Kate Wisnant, Bride of Five

Life in Careful Detail, Though Her
Mind Was Declared Unbalanced.

UNFAIRLY appeared before the Coroner
with her statement.
Mrs. Whisnant and her companion
found a man and a woman in the
doctors office when they arrived The
two women sat in the front office
waiting for the other patients to de-
part. When DIR. Brinkley opened the
folding doors Mrs. Whisnant told her
companion to wait for her. She said
DR.. Brinkley was going to be mad
with her because she had lost pre-
scriptiOns before she had had them
filled. There appeared to be nothing
unusual in her attitude.
Il guess you think l worry you a
whole lot" Mrs Whisnant said to
the physician, according to her COM
panibn.
DR.. Brinkley answered pleasantly
that he was not annoyed, and closed

there was certainly method in her
madness. No attempt was made to
harm herself until she knew for GER
tain that DR. Brinkley was dead. Her
determination was evidently to kill
the physician. She followed him all
over the house, always close behind,
and always firing at every opportu-
nifty. The fact that she had to fire
many times did not deter her in her
purpose.
infatuated With Doctor.
The accepted theory is that the
girl was in earnest when she stated
to friends that she would kill any
man whom she loved who might not
want to marry her, and that she had
become infatuated with DR.. Brink
ley.
Dr. Brinllley came to Savannah
from Virginia several years ago. He
was prominently connected in Suf-
folk and Nansemond County, where
his mother, Mrs. Sallie Brinkley, and
his brother Fairlee Brinkley, live. DIR.
Brinkley was educated at NanSe-
mond and Suffolk and then went to
the Medical College of Virginia. He
was unmarried. He was popular
among his colleagues and with his
patients, and was making a good
reputation as a specialist in nervous
diseases. The remains were taken to
his old home in Virginia for burial
A delegation of physicians from the
Georgia Medical Association accom-
panied the body to the train.
The remains OF Mrs " h.snant were
taken to her old home at Sylvania,
in SCreven County. for interment.
She too is prominently connected,
being descended from one of the best
known families in South Georgia. The
remains We're accompanied by her
mother and other relatives. The
young woman was buried in the same
white dress which she wore at the
time of the shooting.

PRESIDENT MAY RETAIN
JUDSON C. CLEMENTS
Death Of Marble Probably Makes Nee
essary Retention of Alabama
Member of |. c. e.

The death Of Commissioner John H.
Marble may embarrass the commission
for time in its inquiry into the rate
question.
The term OF Judson c. Clements, of
Alabama, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland. will expire in December,
and it is understood that he would be
succeeded by former Gov. Glenn of North
Carolina Commissioner Charles A.
Prouty has been selected TO head the
Physical Valuation Bureau.
IL Commissioners Clements and Prouty'
retire, as indicated, the commission will
begin the rate investigation with three
new members on the board OF seven.
The rate inquiry is regarded as of the
utmost Importance, and the impression is
quite general that The administration
will not dispense with the services of
both Commissioners Clements and Prouty
in view OF the death of Commissioner
Marble.
II is regarded as probable that as
things now stand either Judge Prouty
or Judge Clements will be retained on
the commission. As the former has
already been designated to direct the
work Of physical valuation of railroads
1t is believed that the President is like
ly to reappoint Judge Clements. Chair
man Clark and other members of the
commission have urged the President
TO retain Judge Clements

ton. with military operations between
the Federalists and Constitutionalists of
Mexico going on right across the border.
These protests set forth that not only
should the Second Cavalry be retained
at Ell Paso, but that additional troops
should be sent. 1t was reported to me
that there was no disturbance at the
time, but the probable conflict between
the opposing Mexican forces might pre-
cipitate a condition where American citi-
Zens might be in need of protection by
American troops. They informed me
there were between six and seven thou

and insisted that We should have fully
two or three thousand in reserve in the
immediate vicinity.

the matter, and was promised that one
