MURDER OF AN AGED
NEGRO WOMAN.
Deed Committed in Morgan I
County, Near Line of
Newton
Eliza Shv, an old negro woman
living on Mr. K. H Cooper’s pi an
tation in the eastern part of N ew
t-n county, was horr.b y murdered
last Thursday night. The crime
was committed near Cooper’s
bridge, in Morgan county, a short
distance from the Newton County
line The b-dy was found in the
river Friday morning. An exami¬
nation showed that the wi Qian had
been shot, through the head, throat
cut and skull fractured. An in¬
quest was held by Coroner D-xter,
IlTd n !
Suspicion pointed strongly to Janie
Lynn and her two sous as being
the perpetrators of the dastardly
murder, and they were accordingly
placed under arrest and lodged in
jai! at Madison.
The motive of the crime was
evidently robbery, as the old wo*
man had on her person just prior
to the killing $25 or $ 30 funds of
,
secret society of which she wa3
treasurer.
Now tailored suits at Adair’s.

complete surprise to the voters of

Covington is from the sick room
