KILLS WIFE AND FTrHER-IN-LAN. Sister oi Dead Woman, Who Was in Bed With Her When Husband Fired, Also Wounded. Anderson, July 18.---"I went to the home to kill my wife and I succeeded. I'm well pleased with my little deed and am ready to die for it any time; my only regret is that I had to shoot my wife's father and that I accidental ly shot her little sister. The old man caught me from the rear, and I had to shoot him in the tussle that follow ed. I did not know the little girl was in the bed with my wife and did not know I had shot her until the officers told me this morning that I had done so.' These few words from the mouth of Samuel N. Hyde sum up the mater ial points of a double killing that oc curred in the village of Orr cotton mills at an early hour this morning. The de.d are: M. V. Beasley, aged 55 years, and Mrs. Emma Beasley Hyde, aged 25 years. The wounded is Miss Willie Beasley, aged 15, but her wounds are not serious. Hyde is 26 years of age. He sur rendered to Sheriff King immediately after the shooting, and when at the jail this morning gave out the follow ing interview, which has been sub stantiated from other witnesses of the awful tragedy: Tells of Tragedy. "My wife and I had been separated about three weeks. My father-in-law, Mr. Beasley, told me not to come around his house, as it would cause trouble. I loved my wife, and I want ed to see her. . Since I could not live with her, I made up my mind to kill her, and put an eind to the affair. I fully made up my mind in the matter yesterday afternoon before sunset. In order to carry out my purpose, I went to the house of a friend, who lives gust below the city, and while he was away from home I went into his room and into his trunk where I found his 32 calibre pistol. I put the pistol in my pocket and then returned to the city. At 10 o'clock last night I board ed the Orr mill car determined to car ry out my intention. I got off the car and walked past the home of Mr. Beasley. The lights were burning and I could hear voices. I went down in the mill village to give the people time to go to bed. I passed the house two or three times before I finally decided that they had retired.I LIght Burning In Boom. "It was my wife's habit to keep a dim light burning in her room, and when I saw that the lamp had been turned down, I knew everybody was asleep. I went to the rear of the house, took off my coat, shoes and hat and placed them on the porch. I then got a chair and forced an entrance through the kitchen winaow. I pass ed through the kitchen and hall to my wife's room. I didn't, know which bed she occupied, so turned up the light. As I did so she raised herself on her elbow and called out to know what I was doing and what I meant by coming there. I didn't answer her, but began firing. I iemptied my pistol --five shots in all. At the third shot she fell back in bed. I then turned and started th.rough the hail. Her father 'had been attracted by the shots, anid he grabbed me as I passed out of~ the door. He grabbed me from the' rear, and in the tussle I put one cart ridge in my pistol. J aimed the pis-, tol under my left arm and fired.Th ball pierced his heart, and he fell dead to the floor. I then rushed out of the house. It was my intention to come to the jail and surrender, but so many people had gathered that I decided to take to the corn field just in the iear of the house. Joined by Friend. "A friend of mine joined me in the Beld and he went to telephone the ehieriff. A little while later the sheriff eame down the road in his buggy. I iecognized him. I ran out in the road and 'hailed him and asked to be taken in the buggy. I got in with the sher iff and he brought me to the jail. My' wife was a good woman-the best that ever lived. No one can say a mean1] word about her. I loved her with all my heart, and when I found out I *ouldn't have her to live with me, I 1 decided to kill her and end the affair. I'm glad the deed is over. I hadn't taken anything to drink." Coroner Beasley was called to the scene about 3 o'clock this morning, and after empanneling a jury and.. Viewing the bodies, an undertaker was ealled. The double funeral will prob ably take place tomorrow in Silver Brook cemetery. Was Well Known. Samuel Hyde was a character well known on the streets of Anderson. Six years ago he enlisted in the United States army. He was assigned to ar tillery service and served out his en listment. In 1908 he and the' slain woman were married. To them was born one child, a boy. In 1909 Hyde~ decided to return to :ne army. After serving a little less than one year hE tired of the life and bought his dis charge. Since returning to Andersor he and his wife have lived togeth.er except on two or three occasions when her father would interft-re and take her back t- his home for pro tection. Hyde drank heavily at tirnEs and her father feared bodily in jary Hyde stated today that he an-I 1: wife had 2e.- had ^y serious trou ble since 'hey were married; -: ta; had lived quietly and peaceably. Hrde worked in butcher. shops here for several months, but lately had beer employed as an engine?r at the Gilck Cotton mills.
