CRIME IN MERIWETHER A Jealous Husband Cuts the Tnroatofhis young, Beau- I tifu! but Unfaithful Bet ter Half. He Is in Prison. 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.
