CRIME IN MERIWETHER

Gr»>euv'lle Ga, November 1'
The terrible Magruder tragedy, the
details of which appear d in tin*
morning s Constitution grows in
interest.
The funeral of the victim was
largely attended, while the uxori
c:oe is distracted with remorse.
It was on Tuesday afternoon,
about 1 o’clock, at White Sulphur
Springs, that was enacted this sad
dest and most lamentable tragedy.
Never was a crime committed in
old Meriwether that created more
surprise. The news of its commis
sion was '.ike a thunder clap from
a clear sky.
The perpetrator was regarded as
an affable mild mannered gentle
manly aud loviug husband, while
the victim was known to her neigh
bors as an affectionate wife.
AN UNLAWFUL LOVE.
The crime is the finale of an un
lawful love. Just after dinner yes
terday, Mr. W. L. Magruder c. t
his wites throat, killing her in
stantly, on account of her suppos
ed intimacy with J. H. Maddox, a
prominent business man of Wwst
Point.
Several years ago Magruder was
married to Mise Lula May John
son, a beautiful young lady of 18
summers, whose father resides at
Waverly, Ala. Maddox whs also a
suitor for the hand of Mies John
son.
After ths marriage of M iss John
son to Magruder,Maddox became a
married man. For the past s x
mouths, it is claimed that Maddox
has been a frequent visitor at Ma
gruder’s home during the latter s
absence.
THE TRUTH DISCLOSED.
Ten days ago the unfortuna e .us
band learned •! his wile’s unfaith
less, since which time, by brooding
over his trouble, it is supposed t‘ at
he became temporarily ins. ne. The
climax was reached Tuesday, when
lhe wife's infidelity was made appar
ent to the husband by a letter ad
dressed to her paramour, Maddox
agreeing t< meet him at LaGrange
Thu| etter was intercepted by the
already « u’raged and infuriated hus
band.
THE MURDER COMMITTED.
This was more than he could
stand. Reason toppled from its
throne, and it is believed that while
under the influence of temporary
dementia he committed the hor.
rible deed. Mr. Magruder made no
effort to escape the consequences
of his act, but immediately gave
himself up to the officers of the
law, waived trial and was commit
ted to jail to await the action of
grand jury.
Will Magruder, as the defend
ant is commonly called, is justice
of the peace of White Sulphur
Springs district, a prosperous far
mer and universally esteemed by
his acquaintances.
The unfortunate killing is deep
ly deplored. J. H. Maddox, whom
Magruder claims ruined and blight
ed his home, and the person to
whom the fatal letter w r as address
ed is a prominent business man of
West Poii t Hon. H. W, Hill and
Hon. B. F. McLaughlin have been
employed to defend Magruder.—
