A Double Tragedy In Richmond,
Herbert Bates Kills Miss Rena
Gentry, His Sweetheart, and
Takes His Own Life.

Richmond, Aug. 31.-Herbert
Is. Bates, son of Assistant City
Engineer Frank Il. Bates, this
morning shot and killed Miss Re.
ma Gentry at her home, 1920
East Broad street, and then killed
himself with the weapon which he
used in killing Miss Gentry.
That the shooting was the act of a
man who had suddenly lost his
reason, no one who knew the
young man doubts. The shooting
took place in the front parlor of
Miss Gentry's home, no one being
in the room save the two young
people.
MIR. Bates and Miss Gentry had
been keeping company for years,
since they were small children,
and the young man was madly in
fatuated with her. 1t is not be-
lieved she returned his love,
though she had high regard for
HIM as a friend. He accompanied
her to church last evening, return
ing home with her and friend of
hers, and appeared in the best of
humor. He remained at the home
OF Miss Gentry short while, and
then went to his own home, two
squares futher east, On Broad
street.
Mr.. Bates arose this morning
about Z O'Clock, and left home.
He was little detected, but said
IS he went to the front door, to a
member of the family: "I'll see
you later"
Instead of going to the place at
which he took his meals, he board
ed a car, and went down town,
and 1t is supposed that he procur-
ed the pistol and then went back
to the home of Miss Gentry.
He appeared there about s
O'Clock, and was admitted. Miss
Gentry met him at the door, and
they entered the parlor. He had
been there about Is minutes when
the members of the family were
startled by two pistol shots IN
rapid succession. They at once
rushed to the parlor door, which
was open. On the floor, possibly
three feet apart, lay the two
bodies.
Miss Gentry was dead when
found, the shot having killed her
instantly. Mr.. Bates was in the
throes of death when the room was
entered. He lived possibly three
minutes after inflicting the wound
on himself
Miss Gentry was in her 22nd
year, and was one of the best
known young women in the city.
She was of medium build, with 8
wealth of dark eyes. She was q
member of Union Station Metho.
dist church, and an earnest church
worker.
Mr.. Bates was 24.syears old.
He had never known the taste OF
liquor or tobacco, and had never
used profane word. He was
note clerk at the First National
Bank. An examination of his
books showed his accounts to be
correct to q cent.

A Reckless State Constable.
Details of the Difficulty Between
Thomasson, A Liquor Detec.
tive and the Family of
Gabe Bowden.
Special to News and Courier.

hock Hill, August "A mere
mention was sent this paper this
morning of a trouble which occnrr>
ed yesterday afternoon between
State Constable Thomasson and
the family of Gabe Bowden, coll
ored. On account of the charges
and counter charges it is yet i'm
possible to give very clear &C.
count OF the details, but so near
as possible the story, as related by
the principals on both sides, is as
follows:
The negro says that Constable
Ihomasson, accompanied ,by w.
Cowah, came to the house iu
search of missing dog, and that
he entered the house, got into q
wordy row with Bowden's wife,
cursed her and was cursed back,
and that he slapped the old wom-
an down; that when this happened
the glrl grabbed up the first thing
she could lay hand upon and
struck HIM a blow on the head:
that the constable turned on the
girl and, with his heavy stick,
struck her several times, and that
Mr.. Cewan then ran in the house
and got Thomasson to quit; that
Ihomasson then arrested her and
took her In his buggy to the mag
istrate's house, and that On the
road he struck her repeatedly;
that a negro man named Avery
saw this and asked Thomasson
what he vas doing it for, where
upon the constable drew his pistol
and shot at Avery five times.
Constable Thomasson did not
wish to talk about the matter, but
stated that he had intended search
ing Bowden's house Saturday
night. but for a good reason did
not do so, and that he had war
rant to 10 so.
The matter of the dog was simp-
ly a blind used to find out where
Bow den lived. He said he was
resisted from the first and that the
girl struck him murderous blow
with a large stick, which had a
heavy metal band on it. He has
a bad looking cut about two in
ches long over his temple. He
admitted that when the girl struck
him and he was sick aud stunned
from the blow he struck her or
struck at her with his stick. He
arrested her and locked her up in
Magistrate Anderson's CRIB. He
said that on the way negro nam
cd Avery ran out with a rock in
one hand and a pistol in the other
and halted the buggy and that he
at once drew and began firing and
made him run.
To-day Mr.. w. M. Dunlap,
acting for the Bowden's secured a
change of venue to this township,
and brought the girl before Mag,
istrate Beckham to answer to the
charge for which she was arrested
oy Ihomasson. No one appeared
against her and that case was dis
missed. Immediately they swore
out warrant for assault and bat
terry OF high and aggravated na.
tare against Thomasson, who ap-
peared before Magistrate Book.
ham and was released under a 5000
bond.
Then Thomasson swore out a
counter warrant against the girl,
charging her with assault with in
tent to kill, and the girl made her
bond of $500 also.
Now here appears a disagreea-
