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.
The tragedy has created great ex
citement here, esp- rially in the Ori
mill village.
