Or. Pys, Charles City, Relates Former
Charges Made Against MeWilliams.
Special to Times Republican.
Charles CITY, Dec. 13-Dr. Pye, of the
n. q. church, has thrown some light
on the character Of the multi murder
er, McWillistms, of Independence, and
the cause Of, difficulties with his wife.
McWilliams' sole defense, it will be
remembered, for the wholesale slaugh-
ter OF his family, was that his wife has
been dissatisfied and nagging him for
years.
DR.. Pye was pastor at Independence
about dfteen years ago and had charge
Of the church at Westburg, of which
this McWil!iams was a member.
Charges were brought against the lat
tor for gross Immortality. Rev. r.
Ewearenger appeared as McWilliauns'
counsel in the church trial. Through
his very adroit management Of the case
NfcWil1iams was acquitted, but Their,
was no doubt in the minds of those
who had inside information as to the
truth Of the charges that he was
guilty The conviction must have been
shared by Mrs. McWilliams subsequent
to the trial, and undoubtedly was the
cause Of her domestic unhappiness
with her husband. It would seem as if
this man has been leading a corrupt
- Immoral life which finally termi-
mated in the destruction of his entire
family, and will send him to death up
on the gallows.

no Information is at hand as to his
