Mrs. Dale stated that she and her
husband had retired for the night,
sleeping on a folding bed in the dining
room. He had been very jealous of
her, she said, and had urged her re
peatedly to move down close to the
works where he was employed, in or
der that he “might keep an eye on
her every’ fifteen minutes of the day.”
She said that she had been afraid of
him. and that whiie afraid to tell him
that she did not want to move, she
did not want to move where he might
come in and carry out his oft-repeated
threat to kill her, at any time.
She said that last night they re
tired about 10 o’clock and that as
soon as they were in bed he brought
up the question of moving to her. ask-

ing her to be ready to move Saturday.
She said that her reply was:
“Albert I had rather die than to
move away from here.”
“So you won’t move, won’t you?”
she says he asked her.
“I was afraid to tell him that I
wouldn’t and I was afraid to move,”
continued Mrs. Dale, “but I finally
told him that I would not move.”
“When I told him this,” she con
tinued, “he turned over and said:
'Well, I guess I will kill that father
and mother of yours’ first.’ I scream
ed for father, telling him that Albert
was going to kill him, and then I ran
out of the room. Father came to the
door with his gun, and Albert had his
pistol, and then papa shot.”
When the officers arrived, Dale was
lying in the spot where be had fallen,
the whole back of his head shot away,
the charge evidently havifig struck
him in the side of the head. A great
pool of blood had formed on the floor
and his head lay in this. The knife
■was on the stand beside his bed, and
the pistol lay on the floor close to
his right hand. The L. J. Sharp
company had been notified and their
dead wagon was rushed to the scene,
taking his body to the morgue where
an inquest will be held this morning.
Mrs. Dale said last night that Dale
had threatened on different occa
sions to take her life and the lives of
her father and mother, and that he
had said at one time that he “intend
ed to give The Times something to
write about one of these mornings.”
She said that she had been the vic
tim of his anger on numerous occa
sions and that he was continually
quarreling. In this statement she
was borne out by several of the neigh
bors who had come in.
Mr. Aldredge. who did the shooting,
seemed crushed by what he had been
compelled to do. He did not care to
discuss details last night. He will be
held pending the inquest this morn
ing, and it is probable that he will be
either released or held on a small bond
to await the action of the grand jury.

Macon, Ga., October 20 —When W.
H. Thompson, a young white man of
Bostwick, Ga., tickled the chin of a
fair lady passenger on the Central of
Georgia train bound from Macon to
Athens last night, a serious free-for
all fight was precipitated.
While Thompson was being “called
ed down,” by fellow passengers, he
tilted the lady’s hat. A fight then
began in which over a score of male
passengers participated.
The conductor tried to separate the
combatants and his clothes were torn
to shreds. Thompson and two oth
ers were arested at Montecello, and at
Appalachee two more of the belliger
ents were taken in charge by the po
lice. ’
