Poor Mary Putnam was horribly murdered. From the November 21st edition of the Atlanta Journal The Atlanta Georgian also published an article on this murder. The article goes into graphic details of this horrific murder. The Georgian's account differs a bit from the Journal in that it states that two young boys saw a trail of blood and notified their mother who discovered the body, whereas the Journal states that the young boys saw a trail of blood and discovered the body.
