WANTED TO MARRY FREDA
THAT 19 WHAT MISS MITCH
ELL NOW CLAIMS.
An Elopement Had Been Arrang
ed Between the Two Ulris-The
Attoraev Ueuerul Thinks) There
WssaXore Human Motive.
Memphis, Jan. 30. "Why did she do
it?" That is the question thuteverybody
is asking his neighbor in regard to the
Mitchell-Ward murder. Having par
tially exhausted the horrors of the bloody
deed itself, ull Memphis is still ou a hunt
lor the cause.
So t'ur there has been no satisfactory
answer given, though the uir is lull of
theories. The attorney general, it is un
derstood, will proceed iu the prosecution
ou the assumption that there was a mo
tive more human than that believed in
by the public generally -thut Alice
Mitchell was inspired bv. a desire to
avenge herself upon the Wards for reflec
tions which they htd cast upon her and
in consequeuce of which the intimacy
between herself and Freda wus broken
off. It is claimed that the state's attor
ney has proof to this effect and thai they
will also unearth the man in the case.
They have in their possession a large
number ol letters which passed between
the two girls and between the members
ol their respective families in which ap
pears reasons why Alice should have
conceived the murder as a measure ol
revenge and not as a result ol mental
unbalance. The Attorney -General has
I lie name of a well known voting citizen
who alleges that a man followed Alice
Mitchell in a buggy Monday afternoon,
and when he saw her returning from her
trip down the hill alter commuting the
murder, he put whip to his horse and
drove rapidly uwiiy.
Alice Mitchell and Lillie lohnson soent
last night together iu their room at the
inl. 1 he lather ol Lillie also remained
in the office of the jail. He isfeanul that
Alice will do his daughter some bodily
harm and this lcar is shared by most ot
111s family.
All efforts to interview Miss Mitchell
have failed, but this morning a reporter
learned Irom good authority what passed
between her and her counsel. Ou other
subjects she seemed to be perfectly rat
ional and did not realize the enormity ot
the deed.
"1 killed Freda," she said, "because 1
loved her and she relused to marrv me,
I asked her to marry me three limes,
and at lastshccoiiseuted. We were going
to marry here and go to St. Louis."
"What did you intend to do in St.
Louis?" asked one of her attorneys.
"Oh, I dou't know, but when Fredu
promised to marry me 1 was so happy.
1 sent her an engagement ring and sir
wore it lor a time, but it wus returned
to me, and I was miserable. 1 could not
bear to be separated from her and I re
solved to kill her. I would rather she
were dead than away from me."
The girl then asked one ol the lawyers
where Freda was. She was told that
the body was at Steiuly&Hinton's.
"Oh. mamma." she said, "if I could
only see her. l'leae let me go to sec
her. II I could only lie down by her side
I would be so happy."
When permission was refused she broke
into a torrent of tears, not lor having
killed l-rcda, but lor the separation. The
letters that she wrote to Freda are lull
of the most endearing terms, and go to
show that the girl eagerly looked for
ward to tne time when she could make
Freda her wile.
Strange to say, from what can be
learned, Freda herself seemed to be in
fatuated with Alice and willinulv assent
ed to the proposed marriage. The time
uau oeen arranged and the allair was to
have been in the nature of an elopmcut.
Shedoesnot leel the confinement, but re
gards it as a school girl would a slight
pumsnmeiu. un oilier subjects she talks
rationally us she does ou the killing, but
lor the peculiar views she entertains ol
the proposed marriage.
the grand jury has returned indict
ments for murder in the rirst deuree
against Miss Mitchell and also Miss
Johnson.
