-AIKEN LEPROSY CASE.
Supreme Court Decides the Aiken
Board of Health Cannot Confine
Miss Kirk in Pest House.
Columbia, August 19.-The famous
Kirk leprosy ease from Aiken was
decided in the Supreme Court today
in favor of Miss Kirk. The majority
opinion is by Justice Woods, Justice
Hydrick rendering the dissenting
copinion against Miss Kirk.
The decision means that tLhe Aiken
board of health cannot as it tried to
do confine Miss Kirk to a pest house.
The Circuit Court's action in the casa
is affirmed. It came before the Cir
euit Court by injunction from the ac
tion of the board of health to confine
Miss Kirk in the pest house.
Owing to the peculiar nature of the
case, and to the fact that Miss Kirk,
a missionary who had, it was alleged,
contracted the disease in Brazil, was
not only a wvoman of refinement and
education, but aged, blind and help
less, the case has aettracted mucd at
tention throughout this and other
States, and the decision is of interest
particularly to local boards of health.
It is decided that the action of ihe
board of health may be reviewed by
the Court, although action for dam
ages will not lie against members of
the board for wrongly detaining or
isolation, unless this is done in bad
faith.
FARM HAND KILaS WOMAN.
Declares He Had Rather See Her
Dead Than Wedded to His
Rival.
Douglas, Ga., Aug. 20.-Declaring
'that he had rather see her dead than
married to another William McLeod,
a farm hand, to-day confessed to
Sheriff Ricketson that he murdered
Miss Mattie Graham, a wealthy and
refined young woman whose body was
yesterday discovered in a swamp near
her home at Hokesboro, Coffee coun
Going into every detail, his state
ment is that he left his work and
went to the house before dinner. Not
seeing her 'he asked for Miss Mattie
and being informed that she had gone
o her field for a melon, he followed
and found her.
Both started back towards the
house side by side. Coming to a
branch near the house, he let her pre
ede him. When at her back he
caught .her by the left arm and cut
one side of her thiroat.
She turned and looked him in the
fae and exclaimed: "Lord have
mercy,'' the only word she- ever spoke
after the attack. Then he finished
cutting ther throat, and cut her in
the side as she fell.
He stamped her in the face, washed
the blood from his Knife, face and
overalls and when dry went to the
house and ate dinner. His,.only motive
for his crime was that he had rather
see her dead' than to see her marry
Byrd Mobley.
While he loved her, he had never
told her and if she was now alive no
motive could induce him to harm. her.
Hs only fear appears to be of being
lnhed. He does not show any re
morse.
