Atlanta, June ’26 .—Atlanta was shocked by another horrible trage¬ dy of the Julia Force ord:r this afternoon. In some particulars it bears a close similarity to that bloody event. This time, however, it is ma tricide instead of homicide which lavs wasta* the family circle, and insanity is the cause of it. About 3:30 o'clock this after noon, while she was lying on a pal¬ let in the sitting room taking her af¬ ter dinner nap. Mrs. W. J. Fagan, living near Bellwood suburb, had her head almost literally severed from her shoulders by an axe in the hands of her eldest son, Thos. Fagan. Soon after the killing took place the Telegraph correspondent vis ited the semie. The home of the Fagan family is a neat cottage lo cated near the public road. Stretching to the rear of it through a fertile Valley the well tilled fields and garden shows the industry aud thri t t 0 f the llOUSeSold. Mr. Fagan, before coming to settle near Atlanta, had been a proeper ous planter in Forsyth county, wherr lie married the faithful wife who met 0Ucb a horrible death at the hands Ol her SOU touttV. folie the daughter of Capt. Hardy j, Strickland, „ . , . . a family e which ■ sUll ,, holds a prominent place iu the an nals of Forsyth. HER HEAD CHOPPED TO PIECES. Mrs. Fagan was f und K ing in the sitting room, her head literally chopped to pieces. j> a ft of her skull was Cllt off, and tin blow fcoin the axe knocked it ac-ros the room. The lady had been lying upon a pallet on the floor ai'stated, with the blinds down to make the room dark so that she could enjoy her after dinner nap. In another j room just across the hall several children were occupied in sewing and playing. The family is a large one—five girls and foui boys. Thomas, who committed she hor ; ror today, being 19, and the oldest of the family. The next younger is a young lady of 1/. She was in the room opposite at the time of the killing, sewing and looking after several ot the young children. One of the little boys left the room and went out to Lack yard, where Tom was splitting wood. This little fellow saw his brother leave off splitti: g Wood and start to the house with the axe. With childish curosity he asked him what he was taking the axe to the house, for, and the reply was. “I am going to put it away." the lii m boy followed. The little fellow followed to ward the house. He saw his lir -, htt w<tef th9 M whw Li . mother was asleep very quietly, “ d i““ « 113 ^ heJ *• Tom came out with the bloody axe in his hand. He had a strange ex pression in his eyes, and at sight of the little brother ran after fiercely. The little boy, frightened almost to death, but not yet knowmg.the terrible that had been done, ran for dear life and escaped in a grove neir by. STRICKEN WITH HORROR. Those in the loom across the ball were horrified They heard the blows, but could not their terrible meaning until the oldest sister ventured to enter the sitting room as soon as Tom had left it. There the horrible sight of her mother'd lifeless body, with the head severed from the trunk and cut into an almost unrecog¬ nizable mass, and great pools of blood running upon the floor met her eyes. Out in the back yard beside the pile of fire wood upon w hich he had been at work, Tom, the son and brother who had w ielded the death dealing axe, sat in a chair with the bloody weapon in his hands, laughing. There he con¬ tinued to sit while the neighbors gathered, always laugnlug when anyone spoke to him or'mentioned his mother, THE FATHER’S SHOCK Mr. Fagan was at a store a quar¬ ter of a mile distant buying his wife a pair of shoes when intel¬ ligence of the horror was brought to him. When he got to his deso¬ lated home he was overcome by the horrible spectacle and the hys¬ terical lamentations of the moth¬ erless children, “Why did yap do it?” he at last asked his son, who still sat with the bloody axe in his hands be¬ side the woodpile, grinning in an imbesiie way. “A negto told me to do it,” he replied. Then after a moment, “No. ihe negro did it himself.” NOT OF SOUND MIN'D. Young Fugan has never been of sound mind, his father says, though always capable of helping about the farm. He was particularly at¬ tentive to his mother, and would do more for her than for anybody else. Last Sunday he w r as noticed to act rather strangely by running back and forth across the back yard with an axe in his hand, but no particular signfiicancft was at¬ tached to this on account of the cloud that had always been over his mind. When the police arrived the young ~man offered no resistance to being taken to jail, He will be tried for lunacy.—Telegraph. . A UNIQUE SUIT FOR LIBEL. Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—-“Judge” D. A. Newsome, who has achieved social fame by his sweet singing— in fact the man w ho wrote “The Lone Rock by the Sea,” and who is a familiar figure about the state capitol when the general assembly is in session, to-day began suit for i 10,000 damages against the Atlanta Constitution. The “judge” is a justly celebrated local character, and his libel suit is regarded as something very unique. He wrote his own account for the commencement of the suit for the press, aud among other things he says: “This suit is au action of libel based on a sensa¬ tional publication which was print¬ ed in the Constitution on June 4, reiterating that Judge Newsome had presented au itemized bill for bouquets of flowers aud other presents made to an Atlanta young lady for collection because she had jilted him, and also reciting that at various times the judge, by the moonlight, had sung at the fair maiden’s window much to the annoyance ot the young lady.” The judge and his friends ale hot over the publication and say it is both criminal aud civil libel, and subjects the judge both to cotempt and ridicule, wounding his pride, his spirits and also effecting his health. They further say that the publication has already great ly damaged Judge Newsome, both m business and in social circles, and therefore the judge seeks dam ages from a jury of his fellow JCor Thirst-Class J « b XV'ork THE TIMES J ust W orrt be Kqualed. zens. The judge s friends also say that it is a dmy he owes to them and to himself to appeal to the The judge also says he regrets having to go to law, as on the trial of his case it would be necessary to have lady friends as material witnesses to disprove the Constitution’s allegations, The judge, it is said, can prove, by fadirs thaUhc ; s not guilty of the statement made by the Constitu tion - 'I'* 1 * 3 luct aU(1 further fact that the i nd & 9a vs the char ‘ . ’ u ‘ *ht Constitution for truth, is so bad thst lie cun easily peach its veracity induces his be lief that he will be an easy winner j of his ease.
