“One More Unfortunate.”
Jessie Lewis died yesterday morn
ing, between 2 and 5 o’clock, from an
overdose of morphine.
Coroner Johnson chanced to be in,
town and held an inquest nt 10:30
over the body of the poor woman,
Mr. James F. Evans was elected
foreman, and Mr. W. H. Mitchell
was elected clerk. The foUS^png gen
tleman composed. the Jury: James
F. Evans, TV.- IT. Mitohell, T;; J.
Ball, L. H. Jerger, If. Quinn, C. A.
Lloyd, (.’. S. Bondurant, S. A.
Smith, W. If. Bibb,- Calvin Carroll,
I). C. Blanton and W. H. Rogers.
11 was developed by several witness
es that the deceased had been a great
sufferer from neuralgia and had 'litjen
in the habit of taking morphine to re
lieve tho pain. About 10 o’clock
Tuesday night she sent a negro girl
after morphine and it is supposed
took nearly five grains of the deadly
drug. Dr. . Taylor was called
in and found her in a stupor-
He administered antidotes. They
seemed to have the. desired effect and
he left her at 2 o’clock resting quietly*,
Ho-gave instructions to a woman that
was present to remain with her.
Between 4 and 5 o’clock yesterday
morning Mrs. Hutto, who lives near,
came in to sec the woman. She found
her dead.
After hearing the evidence tlic
Jury found the following verdict:
Geoikma, Thomas County.—"We,
the Jurors, ns aforesaid, find, that
Jessie Lewis came to her death on flic
lUlli of June, 1880,'ill the said state
and county, frgm an overdose of
morphine,-administered by her own
hands.”
The dead woman''had frequently
‘ expressed herself us tired of life, with
in the past few weeks, and a noto,
without signature, but identified as
tho writing of the deceased, and writ
ten Tuesday night, was found, in
which die spoke of her lust night on
earth. It is therefore quite certain
that she took the deadly drug to end
an existence that had grown unbeara
ble.
In speaking of her intention to kill
herself she expressed a desire that her
baby should have her watch and
chain. Tho child is three or four
years old and is with an aunt of the
deceased, Miss Lou Campbell, of
Quincy, Fla.
Coroner Johnson took -charge of
the effects of the deceased and yester
day evening she was Inid to rest. Not
many mourners followed the remains
of this “unfortunate.”
Another Burglary.
Last Saturday night some sneak
thief entered the bed room of Mr. F.
II. Jefi'ers and stole his pants. The
pants were found in the hack yard
on Sunday morning.
The police are on the lookout for
the rascals, ami it is to he hoped they
will he bagged. In the meantime
