was caught ovei' the Georgia line last

work of Rural Policemen Boyd and
Owens. Policeman Boyd went over
after him and brought him back Fri
day. On several occasions some very
lIvely chases were had after negroes

NO FURTHER LIGHT ON
HIL1MS TRAGEDY
General Verdict of Murder
and Suicide.
COUPLE FOUND
DEAD THURSDAY
mr. and Mrs:. I. 3111iami ellams, of the
Tlbiiihline: Shoals Section, Found
Dead in Their Home wit Bullet
Wollilds inl 'i'leir Heads.
No additional light has been thrown
oil the il death of Mr. and Mrs. J. AMilam
Hellams, who were found dead in their
hioie in the Timibling Shoals section
of the county .Tituraday morning, each
with a bullet wound in the head. The
coroner's jury, which sat att the ii(nuest
over the bodies ''iirsday afternoon,
found that the couple came to thoir
death at the hands of unknown par
ties. The 'generally accepted belief J
that it was a case of murder and sui
cide, Mr. Iiellamns firing both shots
which killed his wife and himself.
-The bodies of .l'. and Mrs. Hellams
were fouind in their hoie Thiiursday
ItIorining.!, by Ineighbors whose suspicion
of !solle un usuial ociurrence had beell
arotsed by the absence of any life
a'lound the place and the reports; of
pistol shots the afternoon before.
'hey went to t he house Thuirsday
mottning to satisfy themselves. When
they entered .the home they (ouniid both
Mr. and Mrs. Iellams lying on the
floor, evidently dead for some time.
.lMrs. llellam s was lying neiar a bureau,
whtich had one drawer open. with her
foot resting on a chair which she had
evidently occupied when the first fatal
shot was tired. The open drawer, in
which were some of her clothes and a
small hand-satchel, held a )0ool of
blood as if her head had first fallen
over it before it found its resting place
on the floor. The bullet, which had
penetrated her head fron the left to
right temple, lay on the floor beside
her body where it had fallen after hit
ting the wall on the other side. The
body of Mr. Hellains wias lying face
downward a short distance from his
wife, with a bullet hole in his fore
head. The bullet had entered his head
and lodged there. A 32 calibre pistol
found underneath' his body, and later
identified by a neighbor as the pro
perty of Mr. -ellams, had two empty
chambers. Both of the deceased were
dressed in every day wearing apparel
and Mr. 'Hellams was In his shirt
sleeves. The shades of the windows
were pulled closely (own and the
doors were -closed.
While no motive for the deed has
been definitely discovered, It is thought
that Mr. iellams, who was a man of
quick and fiery temper shot his wife In
a fit of rage over some trivial cause.
The fact that Mrs. Hellams was evi
dently bending over the open bureau
drawer which contained some of her
clothes and personal effects led to the
theory that he shot her lyhen ahe de
termined to go oft somewhere in the
face of his obdection. Recent incident:
coiming under the observation of peo
pie in that neighborhood indicated that
there had been some estrangement be
tween the two duo largely to his jeal
ousy. Although -there were no .powdor
burns on either, little credence is giv
en to theories as to the killing being
done iby other parties. Considerable
money was found on tihe person of Mr.
Hellams and a small amount In the
saxtchel of Mrs. Heliams, so a motive
of robbery is not borne out.
It is thought that the killing took
place about tour -o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. W. 1a Terry,
who live about 200 yards distant, re
memibered hearing two shots .about
five or ten minutes apart along about
that time and neither of the deceased
was seen afterwards. Very probably
Mr. H-ellams first shot his wife and
then deliberately prepared to 'shoot
himself, for the hlouse was complietely
dlarkened when the bodies were found.
Mr. Hfellams was about 68'years old
and had been twice married, his first
wife, Miss Avery before marriage hav
ing (died several years ago. Of this
marriage, one daughter, Mr's. Joe
Thomason, and two sons, Tom of
Texas and Hamp of Fountain Inn sur
vive. 141st year Mr. Uollams was mar
ried a second time to Miss Deheims of
Florence county, Introduotion and en
