Who Jilted Him
COLD BLOODED MURDER
Lay In Wait, shot His Victim
And Untillated Th# Remains.
Shamokin, P*., Oct. 17.—Ed
ward Crisamger to-day voluntarily
confessed to the murder of pretty
Daisy Smith, whoso shot-nddeled
body was found by her father in
Augusta last Monday. The young
girl , he says jilted him, refusing
absolutely to associate with him,
and while in a wild rage, be says
he took this awful mode of venge
ance.
The crime was carefully planned,
Crissinger says. He had learned
that Miss Smith intended to visit
a friend at a nearby hamlet and
with a gun and knife in his hau ls
he lay in wait for his victim.
He saw her emerge from the
woods and cam® towards h<-r on
the road. Secreting himsdf, he
waited until she was within twenty
yards and then took deliberate aim
at her eyes and pulled the trigger.
ihe girl dropped unconscious to
the ground, but fearing that sh®
still lived. Crissinger says he cut
her three times with h s knife
acros 3 the neck. severing the jug
ular vein and almost cutting the
head from the body.
The job complete. Cirssinger
hastened to retreat, but first with
drew the shell from his gun and
dropped it by her side. He then
wiped the blood from his hands.
Making his way over the road he
noticed a hollow tree in the woods
and into this he dropped his knife.
It was found there today.
On reaching home Crissinger
placed the gun in its customary
place without being noticed, and
then went about cleaning the blood
from his overalls. In this operation
he was discovered by a posse who
were looking for the murderer, and
he was taken into custody, barely
escaping lynching Through the
shrewdnees of the Coroner he w..s
hustled away to jail,
Crissinger remains cool aud
nerved. He was bound over for
trial.
count for his revengeful mid
night visitation is not reported.
The names of the young men
who were implicated in the ha
zing are not given in the letters
from Tuscaloosa which convey
