It seems that he (t< walked into the house where his tl wife was writing. * Ho asked what b she was writing. She jokingly an- C swered, a letter to my fellow. I One word led to another when t( the negro got down his gun and V fired at his wife, tho shot passing ^ through her clothes and the powder v setting her dross afire. She jump- tl ed up and ran into the yard scream- d ing, the husband following her. g A neighbor tried to stop him but b lie threatened him if he interfered, a About this time the woman trio- v pod in her clothing and fell when e her husband struck her several r severe blows in the head with the k butt of his gun, breaking off the stock and bending the irons holding it to the barrel at the first j blow. She was never able to move after the first blow though ^ she seemed to breathe for some ^ minutes. Sike got some water and poured on her dress where it was afire after lie had killed her. . He staved about the place all ' night and the following morning .started to Lancaster to surrender to the sheriff. He met Deputy Hunter a few miles, abdvo town going for him. Ho brought him on t'? iu'l. The negro had onlv n / | been married a few years and luul one child.
