About 10 o’clock thla morning the
clerk, having heard nothing from the
| couple, opened the room assigned
them, where he was confronted by

The woman wae found lying In a mire
of her own blood. A dull, broken razor
had been used to diameraber her body
in the most (hocking manner, A cloth
was found over her face, but her cloth
ing was entirely stripped off.

He saw her for only a minute or two
but in that time fell passionately and vi
olently In love with this unknown wo
man.
As a result, he lice a bleeding corpse,
dead by his own band.
On the day mentioned, Chas Patter-

Macon to Scotland on the E. T. V. A G.
road He has been living In and around
Maeon for some time, but left for Soot-
land to accept a position. He seemed In
exoellent spirits, sod on the way talked
and laughed with the railroad men with

At Helena, however, just six miles
from Scotland, a change took place, and
a fair woman was the cause.
When Helena was reached Patterson

manner suddenly changed, and with
groat emotion he asked who the was.
He stood charmed, and as the train
palled out, he remained to eatoh a last
glimpse of the fair creature. When ont

seemed lost In thought He acted
strangely and would talk of nothing but
the vision ho saw.
“I love her," said he to a friend, "and
never saw so fair a creature. Already I
am wrapped npffn her, and can think of
nothing else. I have met my fate, bat
what can I do f I don't know her, and
If I did what good wonld that do T I

I can die for her."

and a bloody knife lying by bis side.
He could hardly speak, and died In a

Ills last words were: “I am dying for

It was a peculiar esae, and especially
since there can be no doubt that Patter

rash act until after seeing the woman at
