IS SHE SHIELDING HIS MUR
‘ DERKRY
A Young Woman’s Avowal of a Mur.
der Which the Community Diseredits.
A charge of murder is pending
in Jeffarson county, Ga, against
% young woman, Miss Elvira Ivey,
in which it has been founl impos
sible so far to secare a convietion.
The story was told to the world
at the time the crime was commit
ted, but will bear repstition.
Miss Ivey was at one tima highly
esteemedd in the best sosiety of
that part of the State, bat an in-
Idiscratiou causzad the doors of
most of her former frisnds to be
lel'wt'd agerinst her. Mouday,
Dacambar, 18, 1834, a suit to com
.pel Bolomon Jones to right, oy
"m‘"‘l'ffif‘g her, the wrong she al.
;legml ha had done her, wan to ba
i?z‘iezi. Batbon the Saaday mora
llrng pracading ths deal budy of
Jobn MeCauley, oue of the
wealthiost farmers of Warren,
Iw.-m foaad under the window of
'Miss [vey's room, with a balist
‘hole in the tample. In his left
I hand was elutched a buach of bank
bills amounting to more thanm
£1,500.
Miss Ivey, in aceounting for the
murder, alleged that McCaaley
was a friend of Joues'; that he
}'mul visited her $o induea her to
witadraw the charge she had made
%a;minst his friend. To aceom
'plish this he had avowed a pas
sion for her, showed her his voll
of bills and urged her to fly to
Texas with him. Miss Ivay ro.
minded him of h's duty to his
wife and seven small elildren.
With an oath MeCaulay declared
she should elope with him or dia,
At the same time he mads 2 mo
tion to enter the window, when
‘ Miss Ivey firad. He released his
| hald on tiie window and fsell back
‘dead. This was the story she
‘told her father and wrother, whe
were brought to the spot by the
sound of the pistol. To them she
declared it was a plot to save
Jones in the approaching trial.
A package of latters from her,
the authenticity of which was es
tablished, was found in MecCau
ley's posaession, which contradict
ed much of the girl'sstory. These
latters covered more than & year
proceding the murder, and were
contemporaneous with her intima
cy with Jonas. Shs had written
in the most endaaring terms to
McCanley, and in one, not datad,
supposad to be the last, assent
was given to the proposivon to
fly to Texas, and tha night upon
which tha killing took place was
designated as ths tima for the
flight. It was well kaowa that
McCauley was not on speaking
terms with Jones, oviny to their
rivairy. Why Miss Ivsy killad
McCanlay instead of flyiag with
him is the myatery of tha case.
The theorv which has ths most
adierents is that M:Caaley was
expacte i that night by . Miss Ivey:
that the noisa of pasing articles
through the windew a vakenad a
third party; that this thicd por
-Bon, sasing A man in an improper
place, fired snd killel him, and
that Miss Ivev assamad the crime
to shield the slayer. 1F this theo
ry is correct, that third party
would probably be Miss Ivey's
brother. She denied stranuonsly
that he had aaything to do with
it, ard insistad thai she fired the
fatil shot hersslf, The letters
sho Liad sent weikeued her plea
of zelf.dsfensa. Sie has had one
trial with no resalt, and is now
awaiting ancther. Two tarms of
the court have postprned the case.

“By the way, old fellow, have
you mat thas new beaniy, Miss
Liagsing,” a3k3 Roy Gilbart of his
frien i, Harold Danmark.
“No,” answers Harold, lazily
puffing away at his cigar, and
sanding graat rings of smoka in
tha awr. “I have never gsen her.
Have heard, thougzh, of tha sensa.
tion sha hascreatad, and the many
eonquests sha made last season.

“Bat yoa might not prova ada

then?”
“Naver faar, my dear fallow; I
have mat too many bsautiial
woman in my tims to suecamb
easily now.”
Moanwhile Nora Lansing, from
her saat baside tha parlor window,
aas distinetly hsard every word
passad babwaan the two friends in
regard to herself.
Having coms down, novel in
hand,to whils away ths hour until
bithing time, she had taken a seat
thera, not heading tha marmur of
their voises until the sound of
har own nams fell upon her ear,
and thon, impsiled by an irresist
ibla impalse, she has listened to it
all.
Now, a 3 she saa3 Harold Doan
mark rise and sanater away, alter
expressing his intentions 11 so
plain a manner, sha clenchas her
small fist and an angry light leaps
into her eyss.
“I detest him. How dars he
spoak 8o of me?” she says, pas
sionately, stampiug her tiny foot
upon the foor. *I am not a flirt,
buat I suppose I can be oma if [
choose, and—ah, wall, ‘only” wait;”
sir!”’
“Miss Lansing, allow ms to pre
sent my friend, Mr. Denmark,”
said Roy Gilbert that evening.
After having given the introdnc
tion ue moved away, leaving his
companion in possession of the
field.
After the first qnist drooping of
the eyes aad the bright flush has
died ont of -her cheek at thus
standing face to faca with hor ac
knowladzed foe, Nora Liansing re- {
covers herself, and laughs and
talks so ploasantly that Harold
beging doubting whether haought
to hava judzsl her so harshly.
Ha claima more than one waltz
that evening, and as ha elasps her l
sapls waist, and they glide down
the ball room in such perfect har
many, he confesses to himself that
lie never enjoved a danca so much
noc had so charming a partner,
Bat at last ho kad to relingnish
her in favor of another, and with
a regretfal sigh hs wanders away
to the consarvatory and thero
among tha shrubboery and flowers
fai's into n daap study.
“This is truly a nica beginning
alter my words of yesterday!” he
said to himself. “But she is a ‘
most bewitahiag creature, and
lovely enough to win any man's
heart.”
Nora Tiansing, one evening sev
eral weeks later, attired in a
charming costume of cool muslin
and luee, wends her way slowly
down the beach, the object of
many adiniring eyes. Oat of’ the
reach of the crowd sha turns her
footsteps in tha direction of a
favorite seat of hers far out on a
projecting rock over the sea, and
settling herself on a plie of sea
weed, opens her book preparatory
to having a quiet timo all by her
self.
Pushing her broad brimmed
hat far back upon her head, she
reaas on and on, nor notes the
flight of time until the sound of
water lapping against the rock at
traets her attention, and looking
around, she discovers that she has
lingered beyond her wusual tima,
and that the tide is alveady com
ing in, completely cutting off her
escape by surrounding the rock
upon whieh sko site.

As she realizas this a shrisk of
horror barsts from har lips, and
sho springs to tha highest point
of the rock; but sha knows that
evan that will ba entirely oovered

a boat, ha immaliataly sats eut in
the direction of tha forlorn little
figare that setands with olasped
hands and frightaned face upon
tha remaining speck of tarra

As he lifts her into tha boat a
oonfused expression comas into
har face.
“How ean I find words with
‘which to axprass my geatitade to

ly exclaims.
“By not trcubling yoursslf to

into the swoat facs, he says, slow
ly: “You are the ons woman in

For answer sha ouly lifts her
