THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
MRS. ADAMS GOES
TO STATE ASYLUM
MACON, Ga., August 11.—Mrs. H. C.
| Adams, slayer of Capt. E. J. Spratling.
is to be sent to the insane asylum at
; Milledgeville. She was adjudged in
tane in the ordinary's court at At
' lanta yesterday, and will be sent at
once to the state sanitarium.
The hearing before the ordinary.
I
which will result in Mrs. Adams’ in
carceration, grew out of a writ issue-1
at the instance of her husband. H. C.
1 Adams, some two -weeks ago, just af
ter Mrs. Adams returned to Altanta
after being compelled to leave the
Tabernacle Rescue Home for contin
ued infractions of the rules of the in
stitution and general insubordination.
‘She managed to make a peace bond of
.$..'00 pending the hearing yesterday.
| It was a little more than a year ago
i that Mrs. Adams appeared at Camp
! Harris, approached Capt. Spratling,
j commander of Company F, Fifth In
: fantry regiment, and shot him dead as
■he sat eating his mid-day meal. Ar
rested by the military and turned over
Ito the civil authorities, she spent the
time between the killing and her trial
last May in jail here. f
Arraigned for the murder, she told a
story of being insulted and betrayed by
Capt. Spratling, a practicing physician
; in civil life, whom she claimed treated
her so shamefully that the matter
i preyed on her mind until she was
forced to kill him. Considerable sur
prise was felt when she was acquitted.
She spent some time here in the Tab
ernacle Rescue Home immediately af
ter the trial and then returned to At
lanta. It was only a short time after
I this that her husband sued her for di
| vorce, setting out that she was afraid
113 live with her.
I Some two months ago, she again ap-
I peared at the Tabernacle Rescue Home
hero and asked for admission. This
I was granted, but two weeks ago, the
I authorities of the institution refused
j to house her longer, as she was insu
i bordinate and unmanageable. She re-
Iturned to Atlanta.
Almost immediately her husband ob
tained a write of lunacy against her
land as a result, she goes now to the
I state sanitarium adjudged insane by
; properly constituted authority.
