Other Lives.
Chattanooga, To in.. Feb. 20.
Th© waywardness and wilful
ness es pretty Annie Skelton, now
celebrated as the young woman it ,
one of the most sensational mur
der cases in the South, not only
dragged her name before the pub
lic and stained with blood the fair
honor of her family, but it broke
more than one heart which had
loved and believed in her. She had
a number of sweethearts .
One of these was John D. Free
man, a young man well known in
this section, and now reading Isa
at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Mr. Freeman
knew her in her girlheod when the
purity and innocense manifest in
her charactei and shining through
the windows of her soul, made her
life as beautiful as her person, and
he loved her passionately.
She treated him shamefully,
though permitting an engagement
He would travel hundreds of miles
to see her, only to find her favo -
iug some transient friend, break
ing an engagement for the even
ing with Freeman to receive the
passing caller. Yet his love was
constant and his faith in her vir
tue implicit, even under the strain
of terrible shocks.
Some time last summer Miss
Skelton visited in Chattanooga
when, as at all other times, she
was a guest at the s,vellest social
functions, Oue night a swell dance
was given at the Mountain City
Club. After the dance, as gossip
whispered, she was accompanied to
her hotel by her escort and at a
late hour the two were asked to
leave the hotel. Freeman heard th s
while down in Alabama, and came
to Chattanooga to investigate,
meantime sending tor his engage
ment ring.
But he managed to satisfy him
self of the falseness of this report
and recalled his request. Then to
win her forgiveness, he purchas d
from Fischer, jeweler of this city,
a diamond bracelet, costing $l5O.
What his feelings were there
fore when he learned of her leav
ing home with Ross, can only be
imagined. But his purpose in the
premises seem to be well shown by
his expressions in a letter to a
friend this morning after Ross was
killed. Freeman wrote:
“Your telegram to hand. I am
glad of it. It is what I intended
doing myself if I could have found
him. and I don’t care who knows
it,”
The pieliminary trial closed to
day with brilliant speeches by the
counsel on each side, to a packed
courthouse. Bail was given the
four boys in the sum of $7,000
each, The final trial is set for Feb
ruary 28th, when the circuit court
convenes.
Owing to unenviable and un
fortunate connections with the
killing, as aiding and having sym
pathy in the same. Judge Tally is
pronounced incompetent to hear
the case.
"Rich with sensations and reple'e
with surprises as .this now celebra
ted case has been the proceedings
at the final trial promise to equal,
if not surpass iu new and unex
pected things
Miss Shelton who is now lying
very ill in Cincinnati, w ill, by that
time, be able to appear on the wi -
ness stand and tell her own story
which cannot be otherwise than
decidedly interesting.
Not less se, will be the testimo
ny of a number of men who are to
be eubpoened. Two ot these young
men live iu Chattanooga and are
members of the Mountain City
Club.
