Hlsi Mitchell Was) Overheard on the (Street Threatening; to Cut MIhh Ward's Throat-A Writ of Habeas Corpus will be Aithed For. Memphis, an. 29. It has developed that the murder ol Freda Ward on Mon day was premeditated by Miss Alice Mitchell at least twenty-four hours be fore the deed was dene, aud probably longer. The murderess rode by the house where the Ward girls were visit ing several limes a day (luring their stay. On Sunday night she was heard to make direct threats against her victim. At 7:30 o'clock on that evening two colored girls, Sarah Hulsey and Clara Miller, saw Miss Mitchell talking to a man they did not recognize at the cor ner of Fourth and Madison streets. As they approached they heard Miss Mitch ell say : "I am going to cut Freda's throat from ear to ear, 1 am going to kill her". "Miss Alice, let me beg of you not to talk like that. You wouldn't do any thing like that," said the man. "1 tell you I'm going to kill her. I'm going to cut her thoart," retorted Miss Mitchell. The two girls passed on and thought the talk was mulling but the idle threats of an angry woman. The next morning they told the story to their employer, Mrs J. II. McEnroe, and also to Mrs. Levisa Wutson. This evening Mrs. Mc Enroe told the story, which was corrob orated by both girls. The retiming oi Freda Ward were bur ied today fto'n Grace Episcopal church, where she formerly sang in the choir. The church was tilled, and there were scores of floral tributes, some of them of great cost.

Mr. Ker was assistant attorney-general of the United Jiates under the late Benjamin Harris Brewster, dur ing President Arthur's administration, and is familiar with the details involved in the legal procedure ol such matters. He said today. "These are special cases of damage, and there is no law governing them. The actual injury sustained is not the guide, but the damages are awarded with a view of a punishment upon the agrcssor, to serve as a warning to others. In this way the parties in interest receive not only their ordinary loss, but get what the law calls vindictive or punitive dam ages." THE WORLD'S FAIR.
