! C0RONER'S INQUEST-THE WIFE'S TES-
TIN1ONY.
Jennie P. Glymph, sworn, says: l
live in Abbeville County, S. c., about
| one mile from Cokesbury. This after
noon l was at home. AT the time OF
the shooting this evening I was in the
room opposite the dining room in my
house. [ heard the shooting. Before
the shooting | heard my husband,
McCreery Glymph, and his brother,
Johnnie B. Glymph, quarreling. l
don't know that what Johnnie said
would be considered quarrelling. John
ME told Mack not to curse him nor
trouble him; he didn't want to have
any fuss with him. My husband used
very profane language to Johnnie, his
brother. The quarrel was about John
ME coming here to my house to stay
Mack ordered him to leave the house.
Johnnie said he only came for his
clothes and nothing else. This quarrel
was about an hour before the shooting
occurred. When my husband, Mack,
ordered Johnnie away I told him
Mack he had no right to order John
ME away; that he (Mack) had threaten
ed to kill me SO often when he was
drinking, would like for Johnnie to
stay as we'll for protection as for COM
pany. And then Johnnie says I can't
refuse to protect any lady if she asks
me. Mack told him then he would 60
for Mr.. Moore, the Trial Justice, besides
he would bring twenty-five men and
have him taken away. A good deal
more was said to which paid no atten-
ton. Mack did most of the talking. All
this talking occurred about one hour
before the shooting. The next time I
saw Johnnie he was sitting just inside
the kitchen door. When went out of
dining room to opposite room to lay my
baby down, as I passed my room door
l saw Mack laying down on bed in my
room. At that time Johnnie was inside
the kitchen door. While I was in the
room opposite dining room, I heard the
shot, and Mack, my husband, say,
"Now, see what I have done.n He says,
too, in tender tones, II am going to
kill you, too, Jennie" I didn't see
Mack, but thought heard him walk
from dining room into my room. I
then ran out into the hall and out the
back door and as 1 got on the back steps,
/ halted and I saw Johnnie's feet stick
ing out the kitchen door, just as if he
had fallen backwards and the chair had
fallen backwards with him. II seemed
to me ae- if the shot had carried him
backwards ana MS feet wer~ r~->.t7ctt11g
over chair. I didn't see Mack at all
after the shooting, only heard what he
said. Johnnie has been staying at my
house some time. Has been living with
us. Johnnie was an orphan, and had
no home. He was p years old, Mack
and Johnnie have had several disputes
since Johnnie has been living with us.
don't know exactly the cause of the
trouble between Johnnie and Mack.
Sometimes they would quarrel about
one thing and sometimes about an
other.
stayed at the depot last night, at
MY S;ter-in-law, Mrs. Rowlett's. My
husband, Mack, was there awhile,
Johnnie Glymph stayed also at Mrs.
Rowlett's last night. Johnnie and
Mack had some words at Mrs. Rowlett's
this morning. Mrs. Rowlett is the Sis
ter of Mack and Johnnie. Before leav
ing Mrs. Rowlett's this evening Mack
gave his pistol to Mrs. Rowlett, because
l told him he had threatened me so
often I was afraid to ride home in the
buggy with him with pistol in his
pocket. Mack looked like he felt the
effect of something Intoxicating. He
was not drunk. Before leaving Mrs.
Rowlett's, Mack told Johnnie not to
come out to our house this evening.
About two or three hours after Mack
and I got home Johnnie came. Mack,
Johnnie and I usually come together
in a buggy. Before I left Hodges l
told Johnnie to 60 and get my father,
Mr.. Townsend, to come and stay at
our house tonight for my protection.
Johnnie went for father; he didn't
come; but Johnnie came. [ had told
Johnnie if father couldn't come, to come
himself. I have heard Mack constant
lv make threats about whom he was
going to kill, and when he did do it he
was going to take the advantage
shoot them when they least expected
it. / don't know why Mack threaten
ed me; did it usually while he was
drinking. 1 don't know why he OBJ
jected to Johnnie coming to our house.
He said Johnnie didn't help to do any
thing. Johnnie played his cornet all
the time and | the piano.
I know Mack, my husband, was
Jealous of his brother Johnnie, and OF
my father, too. Didn't like for me tc
| be with either Of them. | don't know
that Mack had any grounds to be jeal.
Gus of Johnnie. ! have loaned John
ME money when he needed it. loaned
him S25 few weeks ago. He asked
me to loan it to him, and told him
would give it to him. Johnnie has q
fine cornet. I don't know where he
got it. suppose the money let him
have paid for a part of it. ! don't
know that my letting Johnnie have the
