CHAPTER V.
Nurse and Patient.

When Dominick returned to con-
sciousness he lay for a space looking
directly in front of him, then moved
his head and let his eyes sweep the
walls. They were alien walls Of white
plaster, naked of all adornment. The
light from shaded lamp lay across
one of them in soft yet clear wash
Of yellow, so clear that he could see
that the plaster was coarse.
There were few pieces of furniture
in the room, and all new to him. A
bureau Of the old-fashioned marble
topped kind stood against the wall op-
posite. The lamp that cast the yellow
light was on this bureau; its globe,
a translucent gold reflection revealed
in liquid clearness in the mirror just
behind. It was not his own room nor
Berny's. He turned his head farther
on the pillow very slowly, for he
seemed sunk in an abyss Of suffering
and feebleness. On the table by the
beds head was another lamp, fold
ed newspaper shutting its light from
his face, and here his eyes stopped.
A woman was sitting by the foot Of
the bed, her head bent as If reading.
He stared at her with even more in
tentness than he had at the room.
The glow Of the lamp on the bureau
was behind her-he saw her against
it without color or detail, like a shad-
ow thrown on a sheet. Her outlines
were sharply defined against the illu-
mined stretch Of plaster-the arch OF
her head, which was broken by the
coils of hair on top, her rather short
neck, with some sort Of collar binding
it, the curve of her shoulders, round
ed and broad, not the shoulders Of a
thin woman. He did not think she
was his wife, but she might be, and
he moved and said suddenly in q
husky voice:
What time is it?"
The woman started, laid her book
down, and rose. She came forward
and stood beside him, looking down,
the filaments Of hair round her head
blurring the sharpness of it's outline.
He stared up at her, haggard and in
tent, and saw 1t was not his wife, It
was a strange woman with pleasant,
smiling face. He felt immensely re-
lieved and said with a hoarse careful
ness of utterance:
What time did you say 1t is?"
"A few minutes past five," she an
swered. you've been asleep"
Have II" he said, gazing immov-
ably at her. What day is it?"
THURSDAY" she replied. you came
here last night from Rocky Bar. Per
haps you don't remember"
Rocky Bari" he repeated vaguely,
cropping through haze of memory.
WAS it only yesterday? Was it only
yesterday left San Francisco?"
Il don't know when you left San
Francisco" the newspaper cracked
and bent little, letting a band Of
light fall acrossthe pillow. She leaned
down, arranging 1t with careful hands,
looking from the light to him to see
If 1t were correctly adjusted. liAs
whenever you left San Francisco, :
she said, c.you got sher8 last night.
They brought you here, Parieys and
some other men in the sleigh. They
found you In the road. You wera half
frozen"

Hls Mother eets the Sad News.

Mrs Emma Battle, the mother of
...e deceased, was in revival service
at the First Baptist Church, when the
news came to her. The auto of Mrs.
A. M. Townsend was put at her serv-
ice and she was driven to The Palms.
Upon her arrival there she was met
at the door by several officers, but was
advised not to enter Taking their
advice, she was then driven home.
Wife Gets the News.
Mrs. Frank Battle, a bride of but
one week, received the shocking news
at her home, Porterfeld St., and came
directly to the city. She stated to a
Globe reporter, amid sobs and tears,
that the woman had carried out her
threats-that her husband had shown
her letter that the Womack woman
had written threatening to do this
deed.
Sister and Brother Arrive on Scene.
Mr. John Battle, accompanied by
Miss Eleanor Battle, arrived on the
scene, but none of the relatives
reached there before he expired.
Messages Sent.

and kilograms were sent to a sister.
Mrs. ]. NJ. Easterling, who resides in

Mr.. James Battle, who resides in Cam
den, N. j., also DR.. Robert Allen, of
Chattanooga, and DR.. Hickman, of
Murfreesboro, at whose home Mr.,
Battle had been married only a week
ago.
The remains of Mr.. Battle were
taken to the undertaking establish
ment Of A. N. Johnson. Hundreds of
people thronged the establishment un-
til after midnight, eager to get a
glimpse of the remains, but at the re-
quest of the family, all were denied.
The news of the shooting spread
rapidly throughout the city. People
from the suburbs boarded cars and
came to town to bear testimony of
their sympathy and to show their in
terest in the deceased. No direct
cause of the shooting has been given.
The woman made a statement to the
officers, declaring that she committed

Crazed by jealousy, and brooding
over the news of the recent marriage
to another woman of the man she
loved, Philista Womack walked into
The Palms, shot and instantly killed
j. Frank Battle, the proprietor of the
establishment, at the corner of Cedar
street and Fifth avenue, North.
The shooting occurred between 9:45I
and 10:00 o'clock Monday night. From
all accounts it appears to have been
deliberately and cody planned by the
perpetrator. There we're several eye
witnesses to the tragedy and many
are the rumors afloat as to the real
cause of the deed, which stirred Nash
vile from center to circumference.
Philista Womack is said to have
held a brief conference in front of
The Palms with her chum, Mamie De
moss, who was accompanied by John
Caruthers. Breaking away from them,
she is said to have remarked, 81 am
going to kill him." Walking into the
establishment, she closed the the door
behind her, and without word of
warning took deliberate aim and fired
at her victim, who was busily at work
preparing an order for customers in
the parlor
The first shot fired took effect in
the right breast between the first and
second ribs. The victim, who was
standing behind the counter, turned
to retreat toward the rear of the
building. The second shot fired en-
tered the neck right over the cervical
vertebrae, while the third shot went
wild, lodging in the door above the
victim. With this mortal wound in
his neck, Mr.. Battle fell to the floor
and expired without uttering word.
The assassination is regarded as one
of the boldest and most notorious that
has ever taken place in this city.
Soon the streets for block around
were thronged with excited people,
eager to get some detail of the crime.
After the shooting it is said the
Womack woman called the police
headquarters and notified them of the
deed, but after getting connection her
nerve failed her and the message was
transmitted to the officers by one Of
/ the customers.
An account of the shooting is given
oy several eye-witnesses.
II DR.. A. N. Johnson, Jr, who heard
the shot, rushed into The Palms and
finding that Mr.. Battle had been shot,
made a dash to his office for his case
of instruments. He Immediately re-

The ThrOns Tuesday Morning.

The Throng Tuesday Morning.
On Tuesday morning at the under
taking establishment of A. N. John
son & Company, on Cedar street, a
curious crowd thronged the street
from Fourth to Fifth avenue. People
gathered from all parts of the city to
get glimpse of the popular young
man who had been so brutally mur-
dered Monday night In the crowd
were to be seen people of both races,
of all walks of life, on all of whose
/ faces were expressions of profound
sadness. Never before in the history
of Nashville has the death of young
man created such sympathy and grief
! as did the tragic ending of the life of
j. Frank Battle.
At the home at 1923 Scovel street,
pitiful scene was witnessed when a
Globe representative called to see the
family.
People of Nashville remember the
sad death of Mr. Joseph o. Battle
who was the first editor and president
of the Nashville Globe. They remem
ber the tender affection he had for his
mother and how dearly she loved hel
son Joe" 1t is recalled how he haC
endeavored to make his mother happy
and that just when he had secured g
home for her that was to his liking
he was stricken down with disease
and died. Frank Battle was mere
boy then, and the people of Nashville
have admired his heroism in taking III
where his br ther Joe" left off, car
ing tenderly for the necessities of his
mother and young sister.
At the time of his death Mr. Frank
Battle had let contract for extensive
improvements on the home that was
begun by his brother. The lumber
was in the yard and the carpenters
had torn away the old foundation and
were setting their jacks preparatory
to lacking up the house and laying a
stronger foundation. And just as
this work was begun, J. Frank Battle
was cut off by the hands of an en-
ragged woman.
Mis- Emma Battle, the mother
when seen by the Globe representa-
tive, was grief-stricken. Friends were
attending her and doing all in their
power to console her. But how can
uman hearts be consoled under such
trying ordeals? Mrs. Nellie Easter.

Special to the Globe:
Spokane, Wash, March 15.-Closing
in a whirlwind of great meetings in
this city, Booker T. Washington came
to the end of the second week of his
tour of the states of the far northwest.
The remarkable demonstrations in his
honor by the citizens of Spokane-and
remarkable is an abused word with
out hope of protection-was simply a
continuation of the ovations every
where and by everybody given the
most distinguished living Negro since
he entered the state of North Dakota
to begin his campaign against ignor-
ance.
Addresses White Women.
DR. Washington's speech to the
white women in the Chamber of Com
merce, following his set addre IS at
the Chambers luncheon, at which the
wealth and culture of Spokane paid
homage to the Great Black, was as a
ringing defense and plea, first, of the
women of his own race, and then for
the industrial and moral emancipation
of all women. An idea of the num-
Der of engagements of DR.. Washing
ton may be had from his three days
in Spokane. Arriving March 9, DR..
Washington spoke at the Unitarian
church at II o'clock; the white Y.
M. G. A. at three o'clock, and ap-
peared before great congregation at
the First Presbyterian Church at 4:40
He was the guest at tea at the home
of w. c. Morris, the distinguished ed
itor of Spokane's great daily news
paper, the Spokesman-Review, and at
1880 spoke to a mass of folk at the
First Methodist church.
Speaks to CoIored People.
AT 8 o'clock Dr. Washington spoke
70 about all the colored people in the
. state of Washington, so it seemed
81 at the A. M. E. Church. A portion ol
each of the white meetings he had ad
dressed during the day followed him
to the colored church, The next
morning he appeared before both oi
the high schools of the city, and the
students tried their grandest to show
him that they took him for some kline
of hero. A eight O'Clock DR.. Wash
ington stepped over the line into
Idaho and delivered message to 6
throng at Moscow. Returning to Spo
kane, DR.. Washington closed his meet
ings with the luncheon and reception
a. the Chamber of Commerce. The
white Y. M c. A. gave dinner fol
him in their building and at O'CLOCK
the colored citizens rendered a ban
banquet, the affair brilliant, so they
said, of all their history out here.

DR.. Johnson administered heart nour-
ishments in an effort to arouse Mr.
Battle, but he never regained con-
sciousness.
Statement from Mr.. A. N. johnson.
81 was sitting in my Office and heard
two or three shots. | don't remember
now whether 1t was two or three.
Hardly had the report of the revolver
died away when my son rushed In and
said that Mr.. Battle had been shot.
We both went Immediately to The
Palms. found him lying on the floor
in the rear of the establishment, right
in front of a small closet door, where
it appears that he attempted to enter
for protection. My son, the doctor,
worked faithfully and rapidly, trying
to revive him, but he was unconscious
and expired without speaking to either
of us-simply looking up into our
faces as we worked. DR.. Johnson was
assisted by DIR. Hagar The two
worked desperately, but the effect Of
the second shot in the neck could not
be overcome. But for this Mr.. Battle
might have had a fighting chance for
life"
Statement of Mr.. Frank PaschaI.
"a boy rushed into the Little Savoy
and announced eXcitedly: Frank Bat
tie has been shot!' We went imme-
diately to The Palms. AS was going
in, several persons rushed out Of the
door. | was the first to enter, | think.
Mr.. Battle was lying in the doorway.
The Womack woman was standing
over him. | asked the woman where
Frank was. She replied There is,
living on the floor. | then asked her
who shot him. She placed both hands
over her eyes to hide her face and
then said, Il did After saying this
she sank into a chair and leaned her
head on a table. By this time Special
Lficer Pink McGovern of the Grim
inal Court, and Detectives Vaughn
and Wooley appeared on the scene in
response to the telephone message"
All was excitement without, as the
crowd had begun to gather. The wom-
an is said to have demanded that she
be driven to the station. She called sew
eral auto drivers, and finally George
Clay agreed to take her to the sta
ton in an automobile that was stand
ing in front Of the buildings. Before
they had proceeded half way the
block they were halted by the officers
who made the arrest.
