SHOT AT HIS WIFE
Tom Meade Used Pistol and Is
In Jail

Minerva Meade Under Arrest for Alb
dactIHg Child-Tsm Says His Wife II
Unfaithful-haYe Had Troubles Be
Hearings Promise to be Inter
estlng.
There was trouble at the corner o.
Hough street and Beechurst avenue
about O'Clock last night. There
had been trouble there frequently
before, and the police had often beer
called in to quiet things down. Ton
Meade and his wife, Minerva Meade
live there. Tom SAYS his wife, Mi.
nerva, is unfaithful to him, to put il
mildly--in fact, he accuses her oil
having criminal relations with a
number of other men.
Meade was drinking yesterday
and was in a mood to wipe out some
cid scores. He sent to H. d. Slime
to borrow a shot gun. Slime feared
there was trouble brewing, and went
to see what Meade intended to do
with the weapon. That worthy told
him he s'only wanted to kill q couple
of niggers." The negroes in ques-
ton seem to have Deen Ira Smith
and a man by the name Of Scott.
Meade accuses them of intimacy
with his VIDE.
Last night Mrs. Meade get cut of
bed to leave the house. Her hus-
band threatened to shoot her, and
she fed from the house about as
scantily clad as the conventions of
the most liberal society would allow.
She slammed the front door, and
Tom fired two shots after her. Both
went through the glass in the door.
Chief Price has the pistol, with the
two empty 32-calibre center fire
cal tridges.
The news of the scrap was 'phoned
to police headquarters, and officers
went to the scene. Mrs. Meade was
then at the Holt house, and was in
formed that she would have to get
warrant If she wanted Tom arrested.
In company with Ira Smith she
went to Squire Hayes Office about
eleven o'clock and got the warrant.
Policemen Shoemaker and Yoke got
Meade and put him in jail.
A warrant had been issued for
Mrs. Meade on January 25, for alb
Quoting the child apprenticed to
Henry Domain at the last term of
the County Court. Ira Smith and
her sister were implicated in this.
The warrsnt was issued, and Mrs.
Meade was placed in jail.
Arrangements for the hearing in
Toms case have not been made, but
it will be held before Squire Hayes.
Minerva is before Squire Shoemaker
this afternoon.
Some rather interesting details are
when the affair is aired
in court.
