 Results-Further Details of Tragedy

Anniston. May 5.-tspecial)-At the request of relatives, the body of Ethel Fulmer, the woman victim of the sui eide pact which culminated at Vel lington yesterday was shipped this aft ernoon to Talladega for the final ob sequies.
 Relatives of w. H. Davis, the man, have asked that his body be turned over to the Johns Undertaking com pany of Birmingham.
 An examination of Davis pockets produced interesting results Written in ink on the face of his watch were these words: "rhe end-1:30 D. m" It is supposed that it was at this hour that the poison was taken. In the cor ner of his handkerchief he had writ ten in ank also the following: Tn men ory of the girl I love. This was the last present she had made me-"
 The bottle which contained the poi son was found beside the body on the he'd and the letter was left on table The letter was partially in the hand writing of Davis but most of it seemed to have been written by the girl. Da wis requested that his mother be kept in ignorance of his act. He stated that she was old and the shock would kill her. Both requested that no min ister be allowed to take part in the funeral services and that no flowers be placed on their graves The re- quest was also made that both ba
 buried in the same casket and in tho
 same grave.
 Their Own Story The following is the letter left by the man and woman, part in the mans writ ing and pafs in the womans. It tells their own story:
 Birmingham, Ala. May 3, 1915.
 To Whom It May Concern: The undersigned parties have on this day of May 3, 1915, decided that life, being so unbearable. and not being allowed the privilege of staying together in peace; and that the financial trouble of both have come to such a point $ not to allow either to be happy, or to be left alone to get through without being pushed that this is the best way to be together. We defy the world to try to part us now. The law and no one else can have anything to say and talk about now. We are not crazy as some people may think and say. We are merely doing as our hearts dictate to us. Why oh, why, is it that me people mate before they find the right one?
 To save the physicians the trouble Of examining, we have gone by the way of cyanide of potassium, the only sure and unsympathetic poisoning known. We meant to go w. H. DAVIS ETHEL, FILMER. P. S-As our last request we wish to both be buried in the same caslset and in the same grave. As the las t moments of our lives were spent to- gether we wish to always be to- gether. and further. it is our wish that no preacher be allowed to con- duct the funeral services eff any) but
 that the services be conducted by rhe Red Men. Tecumseh tribe. No. Fl, and further. that there be no flowers at
 any stage of the game for us. The flowers could not be strewn In the path of lfe-they will not do any good aft
 erward and will be only an insult to us both.
 1 am glad to know that we are nat by ourselves, for the financial con ditions of the whole country have caused many others to do as we have. I cannot stand the strain any longer.
