Macon Has Fearful Sunday Tragedy

Despondent Lover Sends Soul of Himself and Sweetheart into Eternity

Macon, Ga., March 16 – 

Shunned by the girl he loved, and who once promised to marry him, W.P. Mize, a 
young man 24 years of age and recently employed at Sylvester, as a telegraph 
operator for the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, sent two lives into eternity, 
when he shot and killed Miss Cinnie Hall, his 17 year old sweetheart and then 
turned the weapon on himself.

The tragedy occurred yesterday morning about 9 o’clock at the boarding house 
run by Mrs. W.M. Worsley, 718 Cherry Street, where Miss Hall had been stopping 
recently.  Four shots entered the girl’s body and she died a few hours later at 
the Macon hospital.  Mize’s death came fifteen minutes after he had placed 
three bullets in his own body.  Two of the bullets through his heart and 
another through his left shoulder.
