Issue of July 15, 1890
 
Sends a Bullet Through Her Heart.

(Newnan, Ga., July 9). At 8 o'clock this evening a beautiful young lady called 
at the law office of Wilcoxon & Wright. In about five minutes Mr. Wright 
emerged from the room, closing the door behind him. Before he was out more 
than a minutes a pistol shot was heard from the room. Mr. Wright rushed back, 
to find the young lady sitting in a chair dead, the pistol in her hand, while 
the bullet had been discharged into her heart. 
 
Miss Genevieve Greene was a stylish looking young lady. She arrived from West 
Point on the 21st of June and registered at the Virginia house. She was by 
profession an art teacher, having followed that calling in West Point. Her 
purpose in coming to Newnan was to organize a summer art class. Failing in 
this, and being without money, she called on Mr. Wright for assistance. She 
told the story of her life, being a native of Fairhaven, Vermont. 
 
Mr. Wright at once volunteered to assist the lady, and stepped out a few 
moments to enlist one or two other gentlemen in his work. On a scratch pad, 
which rested on Mr. Wright's desk, and in front of the lady, written in 
pencil, were the words: "Tell Mr. Fred R. Greene, of Ogden, Utah, W. H. 
Greene, of Fairhaven, Vermont, and R. W. Wood of West Point, Ga. that I have 
done no wrong. The girl was decidedly pretty."
