The Franklin Democrat, Friday, March 4, 1898, Volume XXXVIII, Number 34, page 1, column 5
Fatally Shot.

Mrs. Knight, wife of Wm. Knight, of Columbus, died last Wednesday afternoon from a
gunshot wound she 
received early that morning.  Immediately after the shooting Dr. A. J. Banker was
called, but medical 
assistance could not save her life.  To a question of Dr. Banker she said her
husband had shot her and then 
again she said she had shot herself, but she was delirious and did not know what she
was saying.

The entire contents of the gun had entered her abdomen, making a terrible wound from
which the blood 
flowed freely.  She was 22 years old and had been married to Mr. Knight about five
years. Dr. Banker is said to 
be of the opinion that the woman shot herself accidentally.  


Additional Comments:

records that Leave Knight, 
a 21 year old white female, died 23 Feb 1898 in Columbus, Indiana.
