Itometnber that In the vlnw of (lie

they were not they were constitu-

To some of us it has seemed a
long time to nccnmpllRii this letinlon
and fraternity in the fulness of birth-
erhood but ns the life of the nation
Ik reckoned It Is but n span. Among
other peoples such a feud would hnve
lasted a century and tho conquered
provinces would have been humiliated
If not outlawed through a long nnd
weary period. Only tho brave gen
erous nnd forceful people of tho Unit
ed Slntes could hnve come together
so quickly.
This formal olmervnnce of tno dee
oratlru of Confederate graves Is duo
primarily to the efforts ot tho lat

"I have known of this woman's In

no avail. My husband spent most
of his fTine In her company and gnw
up Tils position to be with her. She
gave him money ami kept hltri away
from me pretty much all cf the time.
They hnd both been out driving all
afternoon and I saw them and nt
tempted to speak to them but they
whipped up the horse nnd evaded me.
I then went m my husband's mother's
house nnd borrowed her pistol nfter
which I returned to the National ho
tel. on CrllUn street to wait for them
fully Intending to kill her on sight
I was told Hint they were In tho wine
room at the Ruby saloon ants I went
there and found them as close togeth
er ns they could get and In tho act
of kissing him. 1 could stand no
more and shot at the woman four
times nnd ho never made any effort
to shield Tier or prevent mo from
shooting. After I had sho' Her. I
walked out of tho room nnd gave
my pistol to a policeman and surren-
dered to lilm.
