subjected to the third degree" by the
police investigating the murder of his
wife by Miss Hazel Herdma,n, who
subsequently, committed suicide
George l. Manning to-day maintained
his declarations OF innocence.
Il knew nothing OF Hazel's plans"
he asserted, Il loved her, but II /
had known that she intended to Kill
my wife | certainly would have pre-
vented the deed"
Despite the protestations Captain
Tuite, Chief of Detectives, and Chief
Long declared their belief that Man
ming knew OF the girls plans, aud
worked on the theory that Manning
had agreed to commit suicide wi n
the girl, but weakened at the last mo-
ment. They intimated that they had
secured sensational evidence from a
letter found in the girl pocket afJe7
her death, although they withheld its
contents from the newspapers.
Two funerals held day marked

markable tragedy of love, hatred and
jealousy Mrs. Manning was buried

Carter, wealthy farmer, to-day lies
at the point of death at his home in
the upper part of Hall County as the
result of a gunshot wound, and his

and advanced upon his wife, who
snatched a .22-caliber rife from a
corner and shot him. the ball strik-
ing just below the heart and ranging
downward. He fell across a bed I'M
conscious and his wife tenderly
dressed the wound.
Sheriff f. A. Spencer arrived soon
but Mrs. Carter begged to be allowed
to nurse her husband. Carter also
asked that she stay. saying that the
whole affair was his fault; that in
his rage he would have Drained her,
and that she shot in self-defense
She was not put under arrest, and
has since the shooting hung in tender
solicitude over the bedside Of her hus-
band. who is said TO be dying. His
physician, DR.. f. P. Ham, stated to-
day that there was small hope of his
recovery.

it. Their married life seemed to have
been happy and contented. They have
four children.

SOUGHT
IN RACE CLASH
ESCAPES

LEESBURG, Feb. Cooper Biv-
ms, the second negro of the two who
killed Marion Bass and wounded G..
L. Cassells and Fl. E. Laramore Sat
urday night, has not been caught,
though A vigorous search is being
made near Desoto and in the county
adjacent to Lee for him.
Ed Tison, the other negro, was
caught Sunday and lynched by the
posse in pursuit of him.
There is much bad blood existing
between the negroes of the Desoto
section and relatives of Abner Green,
who was fired upon Saturday after
noon, causing the later trouble. If
the Bivins negro is caught he will
doubtless be lynched.
BY many the trouble is regarded
as the outcome of deliberate effort
on the part of Green's friends to get
rid of Bivins and Will Webster. who
shot out Green's eyes last August and
who was acquitted in Sumter Su-
perior Court on a charge of venue
from Lee County.
