going to kill you." was
made by John Gorman, a
railroad conductor, as he covered
Harry Knechtet-, a good-looking young
machinist, with a revolver, waiving a
lelter wildly In the other hand.
"If you start killing all who write
to your wife or to whom she writes,
you'll have a nice job," said Knechter,
as he held up his hands. "Why. I've
got two dozen of her letters at home—■
real mushy ones, too."
That settled It for the angry hus
band. He went to Knechter's board
ing house and got the letters. Ha
read them and went at once to an
attorney. The suit In divorce was filed
late yesterday.
One of Mrs. Gorman's letters closed
• as follows:
"Goodby. 1 am so lonesome without
yon. D is terrible to be lonesome and
have no sweet heart to comfort you.
I love you with all my heart and can
not live without you."
Another reads:
"O Y'ou Kid—I think 1 am going fur
ther West and you will never see me
again. I will stay, however, until I
see yon again. Kid. I love you better
than any one else in the world, except,
ossibly, my mother—I guess I love
er gest. 1 could leave everything for
you."
a gushing letter handed over to Gor
man was one bearing the signature of
his wife's full name.
In this letter, the writer says, she is
"longing for her sweetheart's good
night kiss," and tells how she Is miss
ing his loving caresses. Letters of a
similar strain will create a commotion
' In several homes both In Allegheny
and Cambria counties, when produced
at the hearing of the divorce case.
The suit will come up In September.
"They are surely a pair of good
anes to put it over that way," said
.Jonnau to-night. "I certainly never
vuspected anything until I got that
letter written by Knechter in which
he told ray wife how he missed her
kisses while a, home. Yes. I'll admit
s jealous woman who knew Knechter

IO bouse investigation is being con

may learn the exact number of
bla.-ks killed during the fighting. The
estimates run from eighteen to forty
and although but eighteen bodies
were found yesterday, one of the
deputy sheriffs Insists there are five
bodies unaccounted for, which would
bring the known dead up to twenty
three. It has been definitely ascer
talnod that no white men w-ere killed.
The four men missing from Slocum,

they were reported slain.
The full extent of the casualties

I known, according to the militiamen
doing police duty.
Today few negroes could be found
who were seriously wounded, it it
believed certain that at least a score
were fatally shot. This led to the
conclusion that the relatives an*

taken them to secluded spots whore
they died.
The Anderson county grand Jury

made to procure the identity of the
