Bertha Tracy
Hounded
To Death
One
More Unfortunate
Rashly
Unfortunate, Gone To Her Death
A
pathetic story comes from Chattanooga:
Yesterday's
Journal. contained a brief dispatch from Chattanooga,
giving the account of the suicide of a beautiful
girl of eighteen.
Her
name was Bertha Tracy. She was originally
from near Birmingham and went to Chattanooga for
the purpose of securing honest work but was decoyed
into a bagnio by a procuress.
While
there, it seems that she met a traveling man named
W. H. Hodge, representing a drug house of this city,
and that quite an attachment sprang up between them.
Bertha was educated, intelligent and seemed
to have a Christian disposition, and was disgusted
from the first with the life she was leading. She
made an attempt to escape, but was captured and
forcibly detained. Finally she appealed to
the authorities, and was removed by an officer,
named Bromley, who secured her a home with a kind
lady named Mrs. Sanders.
The
officer saw Bertha frequently, fell in love with
her and they plighted their troth to each other.
In
the meantime Hodge renewed his influence with the
unfortunate girl, whose trusting, yielding disposition
seemed to be entirely under his control, and Mrs.
Sanders discovered a clandestine correspondence
in which he besought her to run away with him. After
Bertha's release from the toils evil designing persons
had woven around her she became religious, was converted
and strove to live a pure life. She avoided
meeting Hodge and seemed resolved to stone for the
past.
When
Mrs. Saunders discovered the letter she called Officer
Bromley in and had a talk with him in Bertha's presence.
Bertha was completely overcome and that night
took a large dose of morphine with suicidal intent.
The dose was too large, however, and the girl
recovered.
On
Monday afternoon she received the following letter:
Chattanooga,
Tennessee
April

Dear
Ethel
I
did not get into Chattanooga until 7 o'clock Saturday
night. I received your letter, but I knew
it would be no use to answer it then.
I
went to the Stone Church last night but did
not see you. I suppose you not get to come
to church or else thought I would not be there.
But
I was there with a hack near the church ready for
you. Oh, Ethel, I was so sadly disappointed
because you did not come.
I
am going off on a trip today and will be back here
the last of the week and will spend next Sunday
here. I will be sure and meet you at the Stone
Church next Sunday. It looks like you could
manage some way to slip off with me.
Darling,
I am so sorry for you to have to be confined so
closely. You would enjoy life so much better
if you were where you could have more privileges.
If you will go with me I will take you where
the people will never know that you ever stayed
at Alice Cooper's. Darling, I know you are
a good, sweet girl if you did happen to get into
bad company. I can promise you, dear Ethel,
that I will love and respect you as long as you
live. Darling, if you don't get to church
next Sunday night, whey not slip out the back way
and I could meet you at the gate that opens on Lindsey
Street. It looks like you might slip out very
easy. Ethel, I will get you all the clothes
you want, so don't let that bother you.
I
am yours, Dear Ethel, Will
Enclosed
in the letter was a self addressed envelope addressed
to "W. H. Hodge, drummer, South Pittsburg,
Tennessee."
In
the tortured girl's weak condition this proved too
much for her nerves and in about two hours after
its receipt, while Mrs. Saunders was temporarily
absent from the room, she put an end to her life
shooting herself through the breast with a revolver.
It
is a pathetic story, and those instrumental in hounding
the poor girl to her death must surely experience
the scorpion sting on an accusing conscience.
The
Chattanooga Times says that it appeared in the evidence
that Hodge has met the deceased girl at the bagnio
of Madam Cooper and had followed her unrelentingly.
W.
H. Hodge is a Knoxvill drummer and has been traveling
for the drug house of Spence & Company, 15 Asylum
Street.
He
lives at 32 Market Square.

Horrible
Murder on a Little Island Opposite Chattanooga
Chattanooga,
Tennessee, July 4. -- Chattanooga Island,
in the Tennessee River, lying opposite this city,
was the scene about dusk tonight of a horrible murder.
Martha
Cagle emptied one barrel of a shotgun, heavily charged
with buckshot, into her husband's stomach, killing
instantly. The barrel was places so close
to the body that his clothes were powder burned.
The
pair lived in a flat cabin or house boat, moored
against the bank of the island, part of which they
cultivated on shares with Newton C. Thomas, the
lessee. They have never lived in conjugal
happiness, and especially since Thomas' fortunes
and those of Ben Cagle, the husband, became identified.
The former became too free with the latter's
wife which made the husband exceedingly tyrannical.
Thomas took his meals on the boat and was
the only witness to the shooting.
Cagel
and his wife quarreled this morning and he threatened
to kill her if she went to the Fourth of July celebration
in the city. She went, and on her return Thomas
rowed her across the river. The husband proceeded
to carry out his threat, but Mrs. Cagle, who is
a crack shot, secured the gun and climbed up the
bank. Cagle followed with an axe, when she
turned and shot him dead.
The
woman denies that she fired to kill.

On Tuesday evening about 3 o'clock in
the Russell House, Chattanooga, Tenn., R. F. Craig, county trustee of
Hamilton County, and A. M. Womble, had a disagreement about the latter's
salary account, as Craig's deputy. A fight ensued in which Womble was
shot. He died in about an hour, having made an ante-mortem statement.
The scene in Craig's room, which would explain the origin of the
trouble is still a mystery, as Womble did not explain satisfactorily,
but the former's lawyer Tuesday night made a statement to the effect
that Craig demanded stoutly of Womble a settlement for overdrawn
salary. The latter struck him and threw Craig, who is a slight man, and
his antagonist a magnificently built man. While underneath Craig drew
his revolver and fired, and Womble struck him with the rocker of a
chair. There was a terrific struggle and a panic created among the
guests. At the coroner's inquest it was testified that Craig acted
like a mad man, and after Womble, wounded and pleading, had fallen down
stairs, bent over him and shot twice, one ball taking effect, the other
barely missing Dr. E. E. Kerr, who sought to catch him.

William Gallagher
Formerly
of Knoxville, Drowned at Chattanooga
William
Gallagher, formerly of Knoxville, was drowned Sunday
in the Tennessee River near the county bridge at
Chattanooga within sight of a hundred people or
more.
His
companions, Charles and William Mann, narrowly escaped
the same fate.
The
young men were in a boat on the river when the boat
capsized throwing them into the water. The
two Mamms fell under the boat and were saved by
clinging to it.
Gallagher
was thrown several feet from the boat and was seen
swimming hard for shore, but he sank for the third
time just as a part of rescuers in a boat arrived
almost near enough to save him. As he struggled
in the water the people on the shore could hear
him crying. "For God's sake help me."
Captain
Fricis and two men in a boat were very close to
him when the head appeared above the surface for
the last time. They made a desperate attempt
to save him at the risk of their own lives but failed.
As he was sinking the captain caught the coat
of the man, but peculiar to state he somehow slipped
from the garment and was never seen afterward.,
The unfortunate young man caught his hat which
was floating on the water, as he went down for the
last time, taking it with him.
Captain
Fritts, who tried to save young Gallagher said that
had he been a minute sooner he could have saved
the young man as he had just slipped from his grasp.
"The first time I saw him was when he
was sinking for the second time," said the
captain." "This was above the bridge;
the next time we grabbed at him was about 100 feed
below the bridge. This time was the last time
he was seen. We could see bubbles on the water
as he passed down the stream past the Colbert."
Will
Gallagher was about nineteen years of age and was
a splendidly built young man.
He
left Knoxville about two years ago for Chattanooga,
where he has been boarding with his brother and
working for the Montague & Company.
He
was born in Jonesboro where he lived the greater
part of his life.

Mitchell, residing at 712 Vine Street, this city,
