The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. March 30, 1903
Orchard Hill, Ga., March 28--Mary Dewberry was run over by the fast train here 
this evening about 6:30 and was mashed to death.  At first it was thought the 
killing was accidental, but now there is a supposition that it may have been 
premeditated on her part.  She was working in a field and started over the 
track toward her home in front of the train.  While in the middle of the track 
she appeared to hesitate a second and was quickly under the wheels.  Members of 
her family say the woman had been despondent for some time and that she has 
frequently attempted to commit suicide.  An inquest will be held tomorrow 
morning.
