Some years ago a soap boiler by
name of Chicago, became
tired of his wife and he killed the
woman and boiled her remains In a
soap vat. His crime was published
all over the United States. He was
exploited as the devils own, the
meanest of the mean, and West of
the vile and he deserved all that
came to him IN his punishment and
the loathing that prevailed all over
the country for his villainy.
But Georgia has furnished another
of this class of wife-killers who
lived few miles from Americas, Ga,
This man cut his wife's throat and
then threw the CHASTITY remains in
an old we'll. His mother, who was
supposed to be the mans helper in
the deed, was garrulous and pc. haps
onscious-stricken. She was heard
to say something about what had
been hidden in the we'll. The wife
having disappeared the peighbors be-
gun an active search for her and
the corpse was discoveredt lifted up
to the light and the husband was
arrested
When his trial comes off and 1t
should be a speedy one, the story
will reach a conclusion with strong
rope and short shift, as 1t Is to be
hoped. The murderer has confessed
his crime and lays the burden on
liquor. Doubtless he will also plead
insanity, the usual and compelling
plea of murderers. Any rejecting
mind can picture for itself the hor-
rors that poor victim endured in life
at the hands of this man. Perhaps
she enjoys her release. Life held
nothing for her in the clutches OF
her cruel mate. And the illicit liquor
yender who fed the bottle to THIS
demon of a husband should be IN,
