A WOMAN KILLED AND HER HUSBAND SERIOUSLY
BEATEN.
A brutal murder was committed near Long
Woods, Talbot County, Maryland, on Saturday
night. A negro man, George Wheeler, assisted,
it is alleged, by another named VIM. Hines, muir
dered white woman, Margaret Whitman, by
KNOCKING HER BRAINS OUT
with piece of buggy shaft He also knocked
down her husband nearly killing him.
The following particulars were furnished the
Baltimore Sun Between 10 and IL o'clock ON
Saturday night, Mrs. Whitman and her husband,
who lived on the farm of Dr. Neal, near Long
Woods, Chapel district we're returning to their
home from the store of Thomas Rouen, who is
also constable at Long Woods. When about
two hundred yards..from the store Mrs. Whitman
heard persons running. and looking back she
saw Wheeler and VIM Hines, both colored men,
approaching at rapid rate. Wheeler carried in
his hand piece of carriage shaft, and Upon
coming up with Mr.. Whitman
HE STRUCK HIM OVER THE HEAD
with the piece of shaft, Telling him to the ground
and rendering him insensible. Upon returning
to consciousness, Mr.. Whitman retraced his
steps to the store of Mr.. Rouen, and stated what
had happened Constable Rouen, with num-
ber of men, Immediately started down the road,
and upon reaching the place found the deed
body of Mrs. Whitman lying by the roadside,
her
SKULL HAVING BEEN HORRIBLY CRUsHED.
Whitman knowing who his assailants were, 80
stated to the party with him, and search for
the colored men was begun. On Sunday morn
ing Wheeler was found lying behind the barn of
DIR. Neal, but when he saw the men coming to-
wards him he attempted to run away, but was
caught after having run few yards. 1t was
then discovered that he had cut his throat very
badly, but failed to sever the jugular. Upon
being questioned as to the murder of Mr.. Whit
man,
HE CONFESSED THE CRIME,
aided by the man Hines, who was also arrested
during the morning. The gashsin the throat of
Wheeler was sewed up by DR.. Neal, and in
short time thereafter the murdereres were con-
Quoted to the jail at Easton. When Wheeler and
his accomplice were first arrested, the excited
people at Long Woods elamored for
THEIR IMMEDIATE EXECUTION,
And had it not been for the wise counsel of
Hedge Thomson they would have carried their
desire into execution, a rope then being in
the possession of the capturing party.
Wheeler stubbornly refused to give the reasons
which induced him to murder Mrs. Whitman,
but it is believed that he was prompted to the act
on account of slight quarrel which he had with
| his victim few days ago, Wheeler at that time
being employed upon the farm of DIR. Neal.
