cally every car line in the city, with the
 exception of the Tidewater line comes
 within block of the market and ample
 room will be given for automobiles. As
 no traffic will have to cross the market
 it will be able to remain open all during
 the day, which will mean that hundreds
 more people will patronize it, Mir. TharpA
 thinks. Even with the popularity of the
 present market, housewives are not able
 to come before breakfast with the result
 that hucksters reported that only 25 per
 cent of their produce is retailed to the consumer.
 Another advantage of the location as explained by the market inspector is that with the building of new viaduct on Twenty second street, this spot can he made one of the show places of the citv. It's location close to Morris avenue is an- other advantage pointed out. MT Tharpe has been in conference with J. Ellis Brown, city commissioner of pub lie utilities several times recently. In the next few days Mir. Brown will make an Inspection of the proposed market. MT. .harpe will prepare, with the assistance or architects, nan for the market lp order to estimate the cost. With increased finances of the city during the next year, MT. Tharpe believes that 1929 will see the completion of the market.

 cept that 1 wish to God that
 he had left me alone" sobs
 Mrs. Winnie E. Sprague, who is
 being held in the county jail on a charge of murder, and
 who will face the Investigations
 of the county solicitor this morning for having shot and almost instantly killed H. H. Harris, street car motorman, whom she declares attempted to break into her bedroom. Emergency call officers at police 1 headquarters received call few
 minutes before ? o'clock yesterday
 morning to the effect that some one had been snot at 1612 North Third avenue. When they arrived at the ad dress they found Harris lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood by l the front bedroom window. Deputy Sheriff Sandefer arrived about the same time and arrested Mrs. Sprague >on a charge of murder. She still held the hot pistol in her hand when the off cers arrived.
 l Mrs. Sprague stated yesterday after noon to Deputy Sheriff Sandefer that
 she had killed Harris in delf defense
 only after he had refused at least half a dozen times to go away and leave her alone.
 TURNED ON LIGHT 1 She stated that about 1;30 o'clock yesterday morning that she heard some one picking at her bedroom window. She said that she got up and turned on the lights, but that upon searching the house and finding no one she said she | went back to bed. but had hardly l turned out the lights when she heard the same noise again.
 '"rhis timc." Mrs. sprngue stated, "I did not turn the lights. but waited in the dark with my bus- | bands pistol in my hand. In few l moments I saw that it was Harris. I recognized him, for he had once boarded hero for short time. | When l saw that Harris was trying | to rip the screen away from my bed | room window I begged him to go on away As there was no one there to
 help me I told him that I would shoot
 him if he attempted to climb into the | room.
 DROP THE PISTOL 1 He paid no attention to what I was ] saying and all the time kept on trying 1 to pull the screen away from the window. The last time that told him I would shoot him he told me that did not have nerve enough and that
 would drop the pistol the minute he en- | tered the room."
 Mrs. Sprague shot Harris just as he | had pulled the screen away and was
 attempting to climb upon the window sill. Investigating officers declare Harris was rushed away in Johns am bulance, but died before the hospita
 could be reached. He was shot foul | times in the stomach and chest. liar
 ris had a small pistol in his hip pocket
 but Mrs. Sprague states that at no tim
 did he attempt to use it.
 MT Sprague is employed as a nigh
 clerk at the Granada hotel and knev

 hours after it had occurred
 Harris was a motorman on the Soutf Ensiey line and up to two weeks agt he lived at the Fifth Avenue hotel. His present address is not known. The body will be sent to Decatur early this morn ing by Johns for burial He is sur vived by his mother and one brother.
