MOULTRIE WOMAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
Mrs. Glass Kills Self Because
of Bad Health
Moultrie, Ga., June 23.—Mrs. n. B.
Glass, wife of a well known local in
surance man, committed suiicde in her
room at the Hotel Colquit this morn
ing at 9 o’clock. Mrs. Glass has been
in very poor health since the death of
her mother in Atlanta some years ago.
She was extremely nervous and
hysterical all day yesterday and was
under a physician’s care.
This morning shortly before 9
o’clock her husband left her alone and
went to consult her physician, when
he returned to their room a few mo
ments later she was in the last throes
of death with a gaping pistol bullet
wound just above her heart.
She had covered herself with the
bed clothes before firing and the
sound of the shot was so muffled that
it was not even heard by a lady In a
room two doors away.
HEN MAKES A DEPOSIT
WHILE OWNER IS OUTING
Stir Created in the Retail
District
When a morning or two ago a large
daminecker hen of truly rural mein
cackled lastly from the dashboard of a
pretty carriage drawn up in front of
Warrick Bros, store, the passers-by
looked askance and marveled muchly,
wondering just what new-fangled kind
of incubator on wheels had rolled into
town. Everybody guessed that the hen
had laid an egg all right enough, but
why the time, the place, the occasion?
Soon the fair owner of the equipage
emerged from the store, and was as
much astounded as any of the hun
dred onlookers at seeing her pretty
rig converted into a hennery. It de
veloped that “Old Speck” was schedul
ed to lay an egg that morning, and
had settled npon her improvised nest
in the carriage when, unexpectedly, it
was whisked away to the city. The
hen was game—though a dominecker
—and held on to the job until it was
finished in front of Warlick’s store.

FOLKS IN ATLANTA A
BUNCH OF TIGHTWADS
Bride Thus Wrote of the
Bunch There
New York, June 23. —The suit fo>
seperation by Mrs. Edith Russell Gam
bler against her husband, Edward Vic
tor Gamblier, cashier of the Merch
ants Exchange National Bank has
brought out some sensational inci
dents in Mrs. Gambler's life. She is
an Atlanta woman, of about half the
age of her husband.
The testimony showed that the re
ception at the church following their
wedding was abandoned because Mrs.
Gambler couldn’t bear to have her
new husband near her.
“He treated me as he might have
treated a ptece of stone,” said Mrs.
Gambier.
A number of letters have been in
troduced in evidence. In ten of them
Mrs. Gambler in writing to bar fiance,
she usually addressed him as “My
Dear Mr. Gambler,” although once she
called him “Dearest Man.”
Mrs. Gambier wrote in one of her
engagement letters froim Atlanta that
she hoped she could have some lin
gerie from Paris, because nothing she
got in Atlanta fitted her.
The plalintiff wrote that her Atlanta
friends were giving her a number of
parties and that she hoped that she
would get many gifts, but said that
“Atlanta people are such tightwads
that they want a run tor their money.”
She told Gambier to have all his
friends give silverware.
Mrs. Gambier said that after the
marriage ceremony she went into a
state of collapse and even had a hys
terical attack.
