At this juncture Southern stepped up to Kate, and putting one arm around her, drew a pistol with she other, pointing to the doorway, which by this time was filled with people, and said in a determined way. “We are going out that door if I have to SIIOOT OUR WAY THROUGH.” Ilis brother THE GREAT ESTEY ORGAN, time was at his side, pistol in hand, to share his fate. The crowd rapidly moved back, and 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 SENTENCE OF DEATH was pronounced on her, he wept immoderately. She is row under sentence to hang oa the 21st of June A motion for a new trial will be inadi on the 13th inst.

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 ever.
