The Terrible Honeymoon of an Innocent Girl Who Married a Murderer. Article Text: >From the Cincinnati Times-Star: Miss Louise SHROTT, a reporter says, has interviewed Mrs. Dick HAWES, nee Mary STORRY, of Columbus, and has obtained from her the story of her courtship, marriage and brief but terrible honeymoon. Miss SHROTT spent two weeks in Columbus and got on excellent terms with the injured bride, who made a confident of her, not knowing she was a reporter. Miss STORY said she first met HAWES on a depot platform. He helped her from a train and showed her some attentions. She was impressed with him and allowed him to call at her house afterwards. His handsome face and gentlemanly actions caught her fancy. HAWES told her he was a widower and had one child, a son, who lived with his brother in Atlanta. He afterwards said that he was a divorced man and showed Colonel STORRY, the girl's father, a decree of divorce. They were married a few months later. They met at 3 o'clock on a December afternoon and started on their honeymoon. When they reached Birmingham at dark several men stepped up to HAWES and said something to him. He put his wife in charge of a friend, who took her to a hotel, at the same time explaining that he would join her in a few hours. She has never seen him since. Late that night she heard the story of the murder, and read the sickening details. The developments of the next few days almost killed her. She returned home a miserable girl, and never hopes to be happy again. She has been granted a divorce. HAWES has written her repeatedly, but she has never answered. Miss STORRY is a beautiful woman, tender, gentle and lovable, and realizes only too well that she was the innocent cause of HAWES having murdered his wife and two daughters. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
