A FATAL SHOT.
Findlay Hale Of johnson City Kills His
Wife and Puts a Bullet Through
the Leg Of Henry Ford.


Findlay Hale Of johnson City Kills His
Wife and Puts a Bullet Through
the Leg Of Henry Ford.
Monday evening about half past seven
o'clock pistol shots in the house of Find
lay Hale at johnson City attracted the
attention of parties on the street and in
vestigation revealed that Hale had shot
and killed his wife, and wounded a man
by the name of Henry Ford in the calf
of his leg. The marshal hastily sum-
moned several parties TO assist in taking
Hale into custody and proceeded to ar
rest him. He gave himself up quietly,
and stated that the killing of his wife
was accidental; that he meant to SHOOT
the man Ford.
The circumstances under which the
act was committed were these:
Hale was busily engaged in cutting up
some hogs, on the premises, when a ne
gro whom he had sent into the house foi
something informed him that Ford was
In his wife's room sitting in her lap. Al
this he left off work, got his pistol, went
into the room and opened fire, shooting
three or four times. The first shot took
effect in the calf of Ford's leg inficting
a painful though not serious wound. The
second shot struck Mrs. Hale under thu
left shoulder blade, thence passing
through the heart, killing her instantly
Mrs. Hale was about 80 years old. Sht
was buried Tuesday.
Ford is from Sullivan county, had beer
in Johnson City but a short time and wa
engaged in driving n team. He also wa
taken into custody.
