THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SAT DRDA ^OCTOBER 7; 1S93.
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.
HORRIBLY BURNED.
Why Did Mrs. Fitzgerald Kill Mrs. Carry
Pearsall?
New York, Oct. 4.—A murder, with
all the dements of mystery as to the mo
tive, was committed here, in broad day
light, at 515 East Eighty-sixth street.
The story as told by the neighbors is
to the effect that shortly after 4 p. in., a
tall, darlc and genteel looking woman,
dressed in deep mourning, was seen pass
ing to and fro along Eighty-sixth street,
as if waiting for somebody. It was no
ticed by those Who watched her that she
cast glances toward the top floor of No.
515. Suddenly she ascended the stoop
and immediately tour sharp cracks from
a revolver were heard.
A crowd gathered and rushing into
the hall, they found Mrs. Carry Pearsall
lying at the foot of the stairs with a bul
let hole in her neck and bleeding pro
fusely from the mouth and nostrils.
When the crowd entered the hallway
the tall woman pocketed her revolver,
drew her wrap about her and walked
down the stoop. A few of the neighbors
followed her and found that she.jvent to
the Eighty-eighth stroet police station to
self up. She told what she had
and said her name was Mrs. Cath-
Fitzgerald, and that she lived at
2510 Eighth avenue. She said she
48 years old.
The woman who was shot was Mrs.
Carry Pearsall, wife of Policeman John
W. Pearsall, of the East Eighty-eighth
policejjtation.
Mrs. Pearsall is a blonde, rather good
, looking. Her husband said she was 37
years of age.
The utmost reticence regarding the
matter is maintained by those most con
cerned, and the police, for some reason
or another, seem to be anxious to keep
the secret within themselves.

A Blind and Helpless Husband Hears His
Wife’s Vain Appeals.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 4.—Mrs. Dr. Spence
Durham, of Watldnsville, was horribly
burned, and her injuries are apt to prove
fatal. She arose before daylight to pre
pare breakfast for herself and invalid
husband. She lit a kerosene lamp and
placed it near the stove while she was
lighting the fire. When she finished
making the fire and started to get up
from her stooping posture, she accident
ally turned' over the lamp, setting fire to
her clothes.
Her husband is an invalid, and has
been for several years, and, consequent
ly, conld not give her assistance. Mr.
James Watson, a neighbor, heard the
screams and ran quickly to the house,
and when he broke in the door he found
Mrs. Durham almost completely envel
oped in flames. He quickly extinguished Y anna '
them, but not until she was almost
burned to death.
Everything possible has been done to
alleviate her sufferings, and, at the pres
ent writing she is resting as well as
could be expected; but grave doubts are
entertained for her recovery, as she is a
very old lady. Dr. and Mrs. Durham
are probably the oldest married couple
in the state, having lived together for
the past 64 years. The husband being
blind and an invalid makes this afflic
tion doubly sad.

THE TELEGRAPH’S TROUBLE.
Two Men Are Flgbtlng Over the Man
agement of the Paper.
Macon, Oct. 4.—An unusual occur
rence took place in the business office of
the Macon Telegraph, and for a while it
seemed that the paper would have two
managers instead of one, as heretofore.
Both Mr. G. W. Price and Professor.
G.R. Glenn claimed to be manager, and
so the police were called in to put G. R.
Glenn out of the office by Mr. G. W. F.
Price. When they attempted to do so
he showed telegrams from Mr. Seifert,
president of The Telegraph Publishing
company, and was allowed to remain.
Attorney Claude Estes was in the room
with Professor Glenn, his client, when
the police came in and presented Pro
fessor Glenn’s side of the case to them,
and they left the building. Mr. G. W.
•F. Price has for months been managing
the paper, but at present Mr. Seifert has
removed him and appointed Professor
Glenn, and the public fails to learn the
cause of the change.
Governor Turney Objects.
Nashville, Oct. 4.—Governor Turney
has disapproved the contract made by
the penitentiary purchasing and build
ing committee for the purchase of 1,500
acres of farming landin Franklin coun
ty, on which the new penitentiary would
have been built. He based his objections
on the ground that the syndicate had op
tions on the land at $44,300, and at the
contract price, $63,000, would make a
profit of $18,700. The governor say3
this is too much money for the land, and
for this reason the contract is disap
proved. Franklin county is the gover
nor’s home.
Lawrencevllle’s New Newspaper.
Lawrenceyille, Ga., Oct. 4.—Law-
renceville is certain of a new paper. The

ganizing a stock company, and all the
