into a Cred By the Mnrdorrr
Augu-tn Chronicle: Dalton,
(ia., Nov., 10—Yesterday one of
the moat outrageous murders *■»■<
developed here that has ever been
chronicled from Whitfield since
the war. Alxiut 7 o’clock yes
terday morning a gentleman from
Murray county was coming to
Dalton with a loud of cotton, and
as he crossed a creek, some three
miles of this place, he discovered
the laidy of a woman in the
stream fjhelow the bridge. Ihe
gentleman made, known his dis
covery and prompt attention was
given to the recovery of the body,
after which the Coroner was sent
for and the inquest held, but no
developments were made as to
how she conic to her death, more
than that she had several bad
bruises on the head and face,
which it was reasonable to sup
pose that she received from being
thrown off the bridge, as it was a
high one. The hotly was carried
into the city, and there was ;
recognized as being the hotly of
Miss Lillie Gudger, a young
woman whe had come to Dalton
some months ago, but had only i
made few acquaintances, A post
mortem was held over the b< dy>
•nd it wus found that she hail
been shot with about a 32-culibre
pistol, the ball entering her
temple and ranging toward the ;
top of the head.
TIIK GUILTY I’AKTY.
During this time there hail been
good work put in by the city
<letectivcs, and at two o'clock they
had their game, a man by the
uanic of Charles Patten, to whom
circumstantial evidence pointed the
night b< fne, Ho went to the
•table ot R. B. Springfield, and
wanted u hack, as he stated, to
drive out in the country about
three miles to a friend’s ; that he
was going out to get some walnuts ;
that he did not have time to go
out in the daytime, and lie had
them picked up, and all he would
have to do was to go and get
them.
Mr. Patten returned in about
an hour and a half with the hack ;
never had anything to say to any
body, but immediately left the
stable. The next morning the
hack was found to have blood and
cotton bagging rubbed off on it.
Mr. Springfield thought strange
of that; and as soon as the murder
was know ii ho informed the
authorities of what he had seen in
bishacK. When an examination
was made it was found that the
cotton lint and lint of bagging in
the hack was similar to that
•ticking to the garments of the
victim. So the evidence pointed
to Patten, who was immediately
arrested and lodged in jail. After
which it was found that one Mr.
Holman was an accomplice in the
murder, and he was arrested
without trouble. Neither of the
youug men will have anything to
•ay in regard to their case, except
that they deny their guilt, but
both recognize the woman as being
■ n acquaintance of theirs, and one
or two gentlemen have stated that
they have acen the woman and
these two men together often.
Miss Gudger was a tine looking
young lady, almut eighteen years
old. She came to Dalton some
month or so ago and had changed
her boarding house several days
back, and the lady she had lieen
Ikianlii'g with thought her gone to
her new place of boarding, and
the one that she had engaged
board with thought that she was
•till staying at the other place a
few days longer, aud then fore
there was nothing said about the
Blissing girl. The accused w ill x
certainly get justice in Whitfield,
as they are lawabiding people.
One of the parlies, the one flint
was thought to be an accomplice,
has admitted knowing of the crime,
fie states that Patten and a woman
by the name of Lou Halkiim,
killed Miss Gudger last Wednes
day night, mid kept her hid in
Dalton until Monday night, when
she was carried out to the creek
and thrown in. The officers nil
keepings dose watch and fear the
parties will tie lynched to-night.
But it is hoped that such will not
be the case.

“All persons who patronize

public prosperity. If the printer
is paid promptly, and his pocket
book kept plethoric by prompt

paints his pictures of pa-sing
