THE HOUSEKkEPER TAINTED
Preacher and Lawyer Used Their
Pistols With Deadly Aim.

Ahft'
A shocking tragedy took place on the
9th lost. at Williamson, a town In
West Virginia. Hon. S. Davis Stoke,
shot and instantly killed Rev. John w
Wohl In q street duel, Mr.. Stokes being
also dangerously injured.
MIR. Stokes, one OF the most prom.
lnent young lawyers in Mingo Coun,
ty, left his Office in the afternoon i'm
mediately after dinner and pleasantly
greeting friends on the way, walked
with quick aud firm step In the
direction OF the house occupied bv
Rev. Mr. WOhl and his housekeeper,
Mrs. Levine, Mr.. Wohl's family being
In Kentucky. Mr.. Stokes topped al
tho gate to talk with Mrs. Levine, who
stood In the doorway. Within a few
minutes the minister came out OF the
house. He seemed to be greatly eyci.
ted about something, and said to Mrs
Levine rs he passed her at the door:
You would be much better at present
In the house."
She laughingly replied that the day
was far too pretty to be spent entirely
WITHIN doors, and MIR. Stokes inter
rupted by remarkire: YES, don't
think of leaving us for the house"
Quick as a lash MIR. Wohl turned.
an0 addressing Stokes, said: leave
the premises" An alteration followed.
Both men ran to the sidewalk directly
IN front OF the house. Something was
said, almost indistinguishable that
drew from Mr.. Wohl II sharp retort.
You are II liar" and In an instant
the report Of q revolver was heard.
Stokes stumbled, tried to regain his
footing bu. fell In the street. Wounded
as he was, he drew his revolver and
covered tho miniatpr nn,u yuithi, 90
feet OF his fallen foe. Again Wohl
fired, and simultaneously with that
shot the gun In the sinking hand o.
Stokes spoke. When the smoke had
cleared away two men lay in their own
blood upon the sidewalk. A crowd ran
to the scene. Mr.. Wohl was dead.
Chance had carried the bullet from
Stokes pistol through the head OF the
minister, killing him as he fell. The
bullet had entered Stokes side below
the heart and passed entirely through
his body.
In the hall OF the minister's home,
feeling the fearful duel to the death,
fallen across the doorway, was found
Mrs. Levine. 1t was at first thought
she was dead, and had probably been
shot, but an Investigation showed that
had only tainted from fright.
Up to a late hour that evening Mr..
Stokes refused to say anything con
corning the terrible tragedy, and Mrs
Levine was In too much of a state OF ex-
to talk.
Mr.. Wohl was recognized as one OF
the most forceful and eloquent of Pres
byteriaI ministers In his State. Mr..
