SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Cedartown, Ga.. Stirred to a Frenzy oT
Excitement. j
Cedaitown. Ga.. May 30.—sensa
tional t:ai;e(iv has orcui-red at Grady.
5 mill's from Cf-dariown. that reijultey,*. ^
in the (Jearh of uiie man and th<? ,
woiin'ling of another. T. T. Strick-
lan»a went home at iiiirht and fou.nd
W. W. Wiley at hi.-; house with ;
former’s wife, and the three spent the ‘
aight as usual.
About 10 o’clock that night Wiley
came downstairs and prepared a dose
»f h^*adaohe medicine and took it. He
then fixed up a dcse of strychnine and
■v\ent to Strickland s bed. telling him
that he must take it or take wroso, '
at tlie same time whipping out a 4-i-
caliber 1 evolve r. ,
Strlcklan-.i jumped up and knocked
down his assailant. ^he two nieu
fought desperately and finally Wile'*
ffhot Stricklnad with the hitter's own
pistol and fled in the darkness from
the house. Mrs. Stricklan.'l also left
the house during the fight and thiS
wounded man sought his neighhor'ij
for relief. Dr. C. V. Wood was sum-
monei.l and found Strickland snot
through the left I'ling.
A posse kei>t watch over the house
all day a,nd night, fearir.g that fur
ther trouble would follow. About (*
o’clock they struck the trail of Wiley
near Strickland’s home, and in the
chase they overtook Wiley about 1 mile
from the scene of the shooting. He ^
ran into a neighbor’s house and told •
the ladies, who were alone, that a ;
mob was alter him. and hnriiedly gave
his version of the difficulty, the pre-
vous night, saying that he was not to
blame altogether for the trouble. He
said that in his j)ocket were |
letters from the wife of Strickland i
that would prove the part of her
self in the tragedy. He also said that |
he was going to kill himself before the j
crowd ]>ursuing him could find him. 1
Saying this, he went Into a room,
closed the door and shot himself in
the temple and through the heart,
dying instantly. The posse came up
before he was cold an'3 broke into his
room, finding his lifeless body on tiie
bed.
It is alleged that the dead man an(!
Strickland's wife w'ere on intimate
terms.
The affair has stirred the communi
ty to a frenzy of excitement, a>nd the
peculiar death of the man in the case
has ended one of the most unusual
occurrences in the history of this
county. Strickland, the wounded hus
band, is doing as well as could be ex*
pected, but his condition is serious.
