 Description: On Sunday, September 4, 1904, J. Samuel McCue, for twenty years a member of the Charlottesville Bar, just retired from his third term as Mayor of that city, reputed rich man, and officer in the Presbyterian Church, arrived about 6 o'clock from Washington, where he had been for several days, on what business does not appear, although Mrs. McCue had been informed by him that he was in the National Capital taking depositions in a murder case. An hour before he reached the city Mrs. Fannie M. McCue, his wife, had come in from Red Hill, a small station on the Southern railway, some seven miles south of Charlottesville, and was at home when her husband entered the house. Without going into the parlor, where she was with a visitor, he went upstairs to the bath-room to rid himself of the stains of travel. When he met her, the manner of his greeting, and all other details of that evening until the supper hour, are lacking. The occurrences at the evening meal come into the story at a later period. Dear Aunt Sallie,—I received your kind and affectionate letter a few minutes ago, and will answer now, as I am afarid I will forget it. We are now at home with Aunt Sammie and Uncle Marshall Dinwiddie, who are very kind and good to us, but I come home and miss my dear mother, whom I put before my God, and who I miss many times in the day. "I do not wish to worry you, as I know you have worries enough, but I do think you ought to send me my watch, as it is all I have to pay Mr. Harmon to get me free from the treacherous man I have. Now, if you won't send it to me send me word how much you want me to pay you.
