DlnWoodey made an unfortunate re-
mark which undoubtedly precipitated
the tragedy. He was finishing dres-
sing. and to the Womans walls he re-
piled: ''Well, Maude, you come with
me I'll take care of you
1t was then that Hynds' passion over
came him and whipping out his pistol,
a Colts II calibre, double action. he
commenced firing. One shot, probably
the first, took effect in the stomach and
the wounded man probably wheeled
around, for another struck him be-
/ tween the shoulders. What was I'M
doubtedly the last bullet fired hit him
in the top of the head. It was doubt
less fired after Dinwoodey had fallen
| to the floor and was lying mortally
wounded at Hynds' feet.
HYNDs GIVES HIMSELF UP.
All of these circumstances, from the
time Of Hynds' arrival until the shots
were fired, occupied but very few
minutes. When it was over Hynds
walked out on the front porch, and
| seeing Miss Noble, who was just re-
turning home from church with the
Misses Judge, called to her to tell her
father. residing next door, that he had
! shot Walter Dinwoodey.
COMMISSIONER NOBLE INVESTI-
GATES.
In response to the call from Mr..
Hynds, Miss Noble went over to the
Rynds residence, which adjoins the
Noble place, and he informed her that
he had shot Walter Dinwoodey. The
shock was more than she could bear
and turning back she screamed for
her father, who came out and caught
his fafnting daughter and carried her
into the house. He then went to Mr.
Hynds' house and was met by the
latter, who Informed him that he had
shot Walter. When asked where the
wounded man was, Mr.. HyndS pointed
back through the hallway. and step
ping down the hall found Mr.. Din
woodey lying in the bathroom his
head resting on the edge of the bath
tub, IN reclining position. Mr.. Noble
asked Mrs. Hynds, who was franti-
cally running around bemoaning the
situation. for some pillows, and she
brought them. These were placed IN
der the head of the wounded man and
he was made as comfortable as posi-
BILE until medical aid could be sum
moned.
THE POLICE ARRIVE.
Mr. Noble attempted to arouse the
dying man. but without success He
simply, in a grooming way, uttered
endearing terms and called upon the
woman who was the cause of the
terrible tragedy. It was evident that
his hours were numbered and Mr.
Noble FASTENED to his house and tele-
phoned for DR.. Beatty, but he not be-
ing at home Dr.. Joseph S Richards
was called and he arrived shortly
afterwards. Word was also sent to the
police station and in response Officer
shannon arrived on the scene a few
minutes later. shortly afterwards fol-
lowed by Officer Pratt. The officers
took in custody Mr. JiEnds, who, how
ever, previously HAD surrendered
himself to Mr.. Noble.
81 BROUGHT IT ON MYSELF"
When DR.. Richards arrived he made
hasty examination of the wounds.
but found the shock had been so great
ana the unfortunate man was in such
critical condition that no statement
could be obtained. Dinwoodey called
Tor 'Maude" to. come and assist him.
but to the officers he said: 81 brought
1t on myself. 1t was all my fault
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
The ambulance from St. Marks
hospital soon arrived, and Dinwoodey
was taken to that institution, where,
despite the best medical attendance
he expired just two hours and forty
minutes after the bullets were sent
through his body.
WHAT LED UP TO IT.
The circumstances leading up to the
shooting can best be imagined. 1t is
The old story of an indiscreet young
man and a faithless wife For some
time prior to the elimination Walter
is said to have paid attention to the
woman, and as Hynds has lately been
absent from the city frequently, OPP
portunities presented themselves for
the faithless woman to be in company
with her paramount. On Saturday
night Mr.. Dinwoodey was at the house
and took dinner with the woman On
the following morning the injured nus
band arrived and found the couple in
a position, and at a time when there
seemed to be no room left for doubt
as to their guilt. The husband, ac-
cording to all accounts, gave the de-
spoiler OF his home and the wife, whom
he but a few seconds before had ten
derby kissed. an opportunity to escape,
but a few words uttered by the former
cost him his life.
THE COLORED SERVANT.
The shooting was witnessed only by
the principals in the affair. One died
and the other only remains to tell the
story. Annie Green, a colored servant,
was in the kitchen at the time and
was attracted by the pistol shots. She
ran through the dining-room and into
the hallway, saw the dying man in
the bathroom. and returned to the
kitchen This is all that can be
CLEANED from her. further than the fact
that she was unaware of Dinwoodey's
presence in the house until the shoot
ing.
Mr. MOBILES VERSION.
W. P. Noble was the first to arrive
on the scene and when seen related
the following:
