The Gilded Age
Part 6.

CHAPTER XLVI
16/18

There was a great deal about her beauty, her accomplishments and her brilliant position in society, and her doubtful position in society.

There was also an interview with Col.
Sellers and another with Washington Hawkins, the brother of the murderess.

One journal had a long dispatch from Hawkeye, reporting the excitement in that quiet village and the reception of the awful intelligence.
All the parties had been "interviewed." There were reports of conversations with the clerk at the hotel; with the call-boy; with the waiter at table with all the witnesses, with the policeman, with the landlord (who wanted it understood that nothing of that sort had ever happened in his house before, although it had always been frequented by the best Southern society,) and with Mrs.Col.Selby.

There were diagrams illustrating the scene of the shooting, and views of the hotel and street, and portraits of the parties.

There were three minute and different statements from the doctors about the wounds, so technically worded that nobody could understand them.
