A Triple Tragedy in Lunatics Home.

from this place in the kellcytown Soc
ton, shot and killed his wife last night,
murdered his brother in-law, Sid Kelley,
this morning about O'clock and was
himself shot to death about o'clock
this afternoon after an all day fight by a
shcril's posse. James is a man about 30
years Of age and heretofore a pcacoabc,
inoifonsivc man. Two years ago he was
sent to the asylum at Columbia and had
been discharged and returned home only
about seven weeks ago. Nothing is known
OF the events leading up to the killing of
his wife last night, except that James
had threatened to kill his wifc's mother
yesterday afternoon. IIo shot his wife
to death in the carly part Of last night
and the other inmates of the house, his
wifcS mother and his two halfgrown
children, !ied at once kelley went 10
the house and tried to induce him to
surrender promising To protect him.
Shciim Scarborough and a large posse Of
men surrounded the house aud tried to
shell him out. James returned the fire
and a perfect fnsiladc was kept up until
the man was finally killed.. Several men
in the posse were slightly wounded.
Every effort was made to induce him to
surrender, but all to no avail. Some in
SiSt that James was not crazy when he
murdered his wife and Mt. Kelley, while
Others think he WAS insane. The whole
affair is a most dcplo!ablo one.
