must be allowed to leave the room
until the matter was fully investi

stepped up to Kate, and putting one
arm around her, drew a pistol with

which by this time was filled with
people, and said in a determined way.

Bob Southern, his wife and brother
left the house, and that night left the
country in disguise, mid made their
way to Marion county, North Caro
lina, where they lived happily on a
farm for nearly a year. During their
stay there a child was born, which
now shares their captivity. A few
months ago they were arrested while
they were on the eve of leaving their
farm for the purpose of coming back
to Georgia to stand trial. Very lit
tle excitement was created by the
arrest or by the trial. Everybody
seemed to take it for granted that, it
would result in an acquittal. During
the five days while the trial was in
progress Kate Southern, who had
lost none of her beauty from con
finement, sat in the court room with
her child (about. 6 months old) in her
arms. The child* unconscious of the
terrible reality of her surroundings,
smiled at everybody, and played and
toyed with Kate’s hands, rings, etc.,
almost incessantly. The 6cene was
an effecting one. The father of the
murdered woman was in the court
room most, of the time, and toward
the close of the trial seemed to
sympathize with Kate as much as an}
one. When the

A motion for a new trial will be inadi

i he Supremo Court affirms the deci

Boh and Kate were married Mrs.

“Bob’’ being flattered by her en

about his wife’s complaints about
talking to Mrs. Cowart, laughed at
his wife for being jealous of his “old

Her complaint s doing no good, she
went to Mrs. Cowart with whom she
had never been friendly, and appealed
to her not to persist iu encouraging
her husband’s attontiors and trying
to destroy the happiness ol her home
by coming between man and wife.
This interview is reported to have
been rather stormy, and the rivals
parted with anything but frieudly
feelings. It is said that in this inter
view Mrs. Cowart said, “ What if I
do part man and wife ? Was I not
DIVORCED FOR 11X3 SAKE ?”
Mrs. Southern, seeing her appeal to
Mrs. Cowart had done no good,
exacted a promise from her husband
that he would never speak to Mrs.
Cowart further than politeness rc>
quired. Soon after this, and only
about three months after he was
married, a Christmas party was given
at Mr. Hand.right’s (Kate’s father.)
During the day Kate heard that Mrs.
Cowart had said that she intended
dancing with Southern that night in
spite ot his wife. Kate, after this,
went, to her husband an 1 attempted
to get him to promise not to dance
. with “that woman,” as she called her.
“Bob,’’ instead of granting the res
quest, teased her about being jealous.
Alter the crowd had assembled, Kate,
meeting Mrs. Cowart in the dressing
Kooin, begged her not to encourage
her husband if lie made advances to
her. Mrs. Cowart replied tauntingly
that lie needed no encouragement,
^ate that night Kate came into tho
ball room and was surprised to see
her husband and Mrs. Cowart nt the
head set that was forming to dance,
film hurried across the room and
reminded her husband that he had an
engagement with her tor that set.
Mrs. Cowart spoke up, declaring that
she intended dancing that set with
Mr. Southern, saying something about
having known l.itn much longer than
Kate had. Kate walked out in tho.
yard and watched them through the
window’, until the set was nearly
