MARRIAGE AND MURDER
Tennessee LechipVar Shoots the
Uncle of His Bride.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 20, 1s9e.-Late
last night ]. H. Winfrey, Jr., and Miss
Sallie Weatherly were married a few
miles out from Somerville, Tenn. and an
hour thereafter the groom was lodged in
jail on a charge of murder. 1t was an
eiopenent and the crime was committed
in futherance of the young mans desper-
ate resolve to secure the girl against all
rival
The victim was an uncle of the girl.
Miss Weatherly and Louis Burton were
engaged to marry October 6, and last
night Burton called upon his afhanced
bride. Later Winfrey, who was an old
suitor, also called and soon thereafter
Burton left. Very soon after he had zone
the girl rushed into her mothers room
with q hasty farewell. explaining that she
and Winfrey were going to run off and
marry. The mother attempted to re-
strain her. but in vain, and as the girl
fed she called TO Peter Crawford, the
girls uncle.
Crawford was in the yard and inter
cepted the couple at the gate. A moment
later Winfrey fired two shots from a pistol
through Crawford's heart, he and the
girl jumped into a waiting buggy and
dashed away in the darkness. The Sheriff
and a posse took the trail at once. but
failed to locate them until after the mar
rage ceremony had been performed.

ROBBER-RIDDBN HOBOKHN.
A Second Farm Wagon Driver Field
up ON Hls WAY 10 the Ferry.

There was another hold-up in Hoboken dur
ing the early hours of this morning at the
same spot where Herman Schwartz was stop
ped yesterday morning. In all probability the
same two men made the attempt.
The victim this time was William Buckhorn,
OF No 1871 Central avenue, Jersey City Heights.
He is a produce merchant and was driving his
horse and wagon across to the Fourteenth
street ferry. The footpads who infest the Hobo
ken meadows know that the wagon drivers
carry money to invest in the New York mar
ketg.
Buckhorn was coming down the Hillside road
and had just reached the foot Of Thirteenth
street when two men, both short and stout, he
says, jumped out from the darkness and at
tempted to stop him. One grabbed the horses
heads and the other ordered him to throw up
his hands Instead Of ~obeying, Buckhorn drew
his pistol and fired two shots at the men. They
took TO their heels.
A West Hoboken police officer and Officers
Gebhardt and Eckhardt Of the Second Precinct
were attracted by the sound OF the shots. They
came down to where Buckhorn was and made
a search Of the meadows nearby, but as usual
with no result. Buckhorn says one man was
short and stout. the other the same height. but
not as stout This was all the description he
coutd give
