Hyde, tho young white man in tho county Jail now awaiting trial for killing his young wife and her father on July 18, to havo his way when his easels called for trial Monday, Soptombor 18, lt would not bo necessary to d'aw a jury to consider his ease, and lt would not take much of tho Hmo of the court in disposing of it. He said this afternoon that he ls ready to stand up before tho Judge and tell exactly what prompted him to enter the home of his aged father-in-law, William Beasley, and why ho had killed the woman he loved and mur dered her father. Ile also said that he is ready and willing to pay tho penalty. Hyde is a bright, handsome young man. possibly 26 years of age. Ho has traveled considerably and talks interestingly and was liked hy all who knew bim. Ile was au engineer by trade. Prisoner Tells of killing. "My wife was a good woman," Hyde said this afternoon. "I lovod her with all my heart, and I decided then to kill her and put an end to everything. 1 went for the pistol and 1 came to town to walt until she and her parents were in bed. I caught tho car and went to the Orr Mill vil lage. 1 passed her house several times, hut I knew they hadn't retir ed because tho light was burning. ? waited until about, midnight and went to tho house again. Every thing, was darkness except a light turned low lu the front room. My wife always left her light burning. I took off my shoes, my hat and my coat. 1 placed them on the back porch and forced an entrance through tho kitchen window. 1 crossed thc hall, opened tho bed room door and turned up tho light. My wife raisod on her elbow In tho bed and screamed, asking what I was doing there and what I wanted. I told her 'I've como to kill you.' "I then bogan firing. Her father and mother were In another bed In the saine room. Tho old man sprang out of bed and .lumped toward mo,' I'had already l?rocV'tl?ree tidies Itt my wife and silo got ot?t of bed and be gan following mo. 1 was backing toward tho door, but kept on firing. Finally she dropped to tho floor. 1 rushed over to lier body, felt to see if her heart was heating and to see if she had wounds sufficient to cause her death. After satisfying myself I started for tho door. It was then thai Mr. Bensloy, her father, grap pled with me. He caught me from behind, throwing lils arms around my body. My pistol was unloaded, but I managed to put one cartridge in while were were tussling. I then raised my left arm and fired behind nie, I lu; shot piercing his heart. He dropped to Hm door a dead man. You are familiar with tho rest-you know 1 asked a friend to telephone for the sheriff and you know the sheriff arrived and carried mo to jail. "That's my story; everything I have to say, except that I am well satisfied with what I have done; my mind is easy; I have a good appe tite; 1 have gained several pounds since the shooting, and am ready to pay tho penalty. My father wanted me to have a lawyer and he brought one around to the jail to see me, but I didn't see any use in having a law yer when I expect to get up and tell the court exactly how lt occurred. It would he waste of money, and an unnecessary waste. I don't want, any of my fol kt to spend any monoy on me and I don't want them to worry about me. i'm well satisfied with my deed, and I think they should be, too." Grandmother of Three nt Thirty.
