DISCARDED LOVER
 SHOOTS BRIDE ON
 HER WEDDING MORN
Miss Gilleland of Ensley Shot and Killed by Former Sweetheart-Murderer
 Arrested

While Miss Margaret Gilleland was pre- paring for her wedding at her sister s home in Ensley yesterday morning she was shot three times by Tom Lambert, a former sweetheart. She died from the wounds at the Ensley Infirmary at Il o'clock.
 Miss Gilleland was to have been mar ried yesterday afternoon to John M. Sul- livan at the home of her sister, Mrs. w. Mccain, at TIA Thirtieth street, EnsIey.
 Lambert made his escape after the shooting and evaded the officers for sev- eral hours. He was arrested last night at S:30 o'clock by Officers Millican, Brown and L. H. Whitley of the Ensley police force at a rooming house on Sew enteenth street, Ensley.
 Lambert was brought to Birmingham and lodged in the city jail last night. He had in his pockets a large size bot tie of beef, iron and wine" a bottle of paregoric and s2.94 in money.
 Lambert did not deny the crime, it is said, and declared that he did not in- tend to attempt to escape. He gave his fathers address as Gabbettville, Ga, and stated that he had brother on the Atlanta police force. He asked that his folks be notified. He has been living TOT some llIll6 dl Odhllldi, <AifA+
 The tragedy occurred as the Me- Gains prepared to have breakfast. Lambert, whose home is at Oakman. knocked at the door. Miss Gilleland was drawing some water from the hydrant a the time, it is stated. She invited him to come in, and he asked f the report was true that she was about to be married. When she con- firmed the report, he pulled pisto! f1aa bullets took effect When Miss Dora Gilleland, sister of the dead girl, in- tervened. Lambert threatened to shoo. her, it is said.
 Miss Gilleland was rushed to the Ensley infirmary and placed on the operating table, but medical skill was unavailang and she died shortly after wards. John Sullivan, the intended groom, was called to the home shortly after the tragedy and accompanied the young woman to the infirmary and was present when she died Miss Gill; leland was conscious up until the ad- ministering of the anesthetic. When death came Sullivan held the hand of his prospective bride.
 Following the excitement of the shooting Lambert escaped through the backyard of the Mccain home.
 Miss Giileland was staying with her sister and working in the city. Her marriage to MT. Sullivan was to have been a quiet affair yesterday after noon at o'clock. Rev. F. R. Stephen son was to have performed the cere- n.ony.
 Lambert is said to be addicted to the drug habit and it is said that when Miss Gilleland found this out she broke her engagement with him. Her refusal to resume the former engage ment brought about her death at the hands of her discarded sweetheart.
 The deceased is survived by her r.other. Mrs. M. J. Smith; two sisters Miss Dora Gilleland and Mrs. w. Me Gain, and brother Joe Gilleland. of Besscmer.
 The body will be sent to Aldridge tl,is morning by Echols and Augwin Interment will be in the family ceme- tery

BIRMINGHAM WANTS
 BAPTIST HOSPITAL
Representative. Committee Will Present Claims at the
 Meeting Here Tonight

livery effort will be made to have
 Birmingham selected as the site of the Baptist Memorial hospital, according to
 pr. J. D. Heacock, chairman of a. com-
 mittee appointed for this purpose.
 location committee. composed Of
 prominent Baptists from all parts of
 the state and under the chairmanship
 of pr. J. R. Hobbs. pastor of the First Baptist Church, will meet tonight in Dr. Hobbs church to hear claims of cities in the state as to the location of
 the hospital.
 This hospital will be erected in some city Of the state by the Baptsts as a part of the home mission work, with a sum from the proceeds of the s75,- | ooo.00o raised in the recent campaign. It ia the desire to have the hospital
 located where it will be able to do the
 most good. and it is for this reason that committee will consider ths claims of various towns.
 | The committee which will present Birmingham's claim is composed of
 lcember of each civic organization, and several members of the Jefferson Coun- | ty Medical Association. They will meet
 some time today to prepare the claim which will be presented to the loca- ton committee tonight.
 We have no tangible proposition to place before the committee." said Dr. Heacock, but 1t Is our opinion that we can successfully convince them that
 Birmingham, owing to its accessibility, | it's latitude and climate, is the ideal | spot in the state for the hospital There are several other competitors, hut in the case of most, they will not
 be able to support the institution after fai in Tirrf,f fTles h of a , advantages. We need it, we can sup port and enlarge 1t and in our city it will pc moro accessible than in any other part of the state. It Is a practi- eally undebatable question.
 "One of the best features of the pro- posed hospital and something that is seldom seen in an institution of this kind is the sanitoria feature. This will provide for accommodations for people whof are not critically Ill, but vbo need rest and doctors care, and will also provide for the convalescents.

 The city believes that the fish were net again iced during transit, and are taking the matter before the interstate commerce commission
