Miss Minnie March man Dies in Ashburn
in Convulsions—Coroner Has W ar
rant Sworn Out for Tan Cleghorn,
Her Friend, Who Has Vanished.
ASHBURN. GA., Nov. 14.—The body ol' .Mis*- Minnie Marclt
nian, a beautiful young girl, lies unburied while Atlanta experts are
waiting to exifinine the e.outentb ol her stomtivh. A warrant ha,-, ii-.-.-n
issued against Tan Cleghorn, a young farmer, charging him with hav
ing caused th*- death ot Minnie Marchmati. and olHcers are searcii
ing for him. .Cleghorn has been missing for four days.
I’reparations had been made lor the burial oi the young woman,
who lived with her widowed mother six miles from Ashburn, when the
; family physician and friends of the family became suspicious and or-
I tiered the funeral stopped, it is reported here that < leghorn and Miss
Mari-hman were sweethearts, and visited Ashburn together sone da. s
I ago. While there, it is said, Cleghorn purchased fruit and candies
which lie gave to Miss Marehman, and after eating these she was
attacked with convulsions and died in agony.
At the coroner’s inquest today
tjie mother of the dead girl tes
tified that she died after eight
convulsions, foaming at the mouth
and with every indication that she
’ bad been poisoned. The mother
had not seen her daughter take
I any medicine, and there was no
i trace of poison in the house.
Girl Dies Four Days
After Man Vanishes.
j Friends of the dead girl say Cleg
home had promised to marry her and
tbeir visit to Ashburn was ostensibly
with Uie purpose of securing a mar
j rlage license, but Cleghome made some
I excuse and the pair agreed to postpone
the wedding for a few days The girl
i went back to her home In the country
and < ’leghorne disappeared. It was four
diys after his disappearance that Min
nie Marchman died.
Doctors Dixon and Thompson, of the
1 village of Rebecca, were called to the
Inquest. They removed the stomach
*rotn th* body of Miss Marchman and
forwarded it to the state chemist at
Atlanta for a close examination. It is
expected that tile analysis will reveal
Just what poison. if any, killed tiie girl.
Friends Looked
For Their Marriage.
The little town of Ashbum, county
seat of Turner county, is stirred as ft 1
was never stirred before. Minnie
Marchman was known as one of the
prettiest girls of the lumber country
and one of the most popular.
She and young Cleghorne bad been
"going together.” as young folk say. for
many months, and their marriage was
looked upon as a certainty. But for
some tlm* Mbs Marchman bad been
avoiding her friends and living almost !
as a 1 eeluse, seeing only Cleghorne.
