PAYS PENALTY OF CRIME
Ex-Mayor James Samuel Nc
Cue Hanged Today at
Charlottesville, Va.

Charlottesville, Va, Feb. IO.-James
Samuel McCue, former mayor of
Charlottesville. was hanged in the
county Jail here today for the murder
of his wife. The execution attracted
more public attention than any pre.
vious hanging in this section Of the
state.
The crime for which the ex. Mayor
payed the death penalty occurred
ON the night of September "a of last
year. Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had gone
TO church, returning home about y
O'Clock in the evening. Shortly after.
ward Mrs. McCue's dead body, clad
in night robe, was found in a bath
tub filled with water. Mr.. McCue
told those who came in that someone
had entered the house upon their re.
turn from church that be had been
Rocked senseless and his wife prob.
ably killed
An investigation led TO the arrest
on the charge of murder of the man
who only four days before had retired
from the mayoralty of Charlottesville.
Mrs. McCue had received the contents
OF a shotgun in her breast,a q sufficient
wound TO cause instant death, but in
addition she had been struck heavy
blow on the head, cutting an ear near.
ly in two. Mr.. McCue at first laid
the crime TO stable bov, and offered
81, 600 reward for evidence to convict
the murderer. The day after he offer.
ed the reward he was himself arrested
for the crime.
At the trial which followed several
witnesses testified that the married
life of Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had been
marred by jealousIy on the part of the
wife, and that they were continually
quarreling. One sad feature of the
trial was the fact that McCue had for
years been lawyer at the bar before
which he was tried and convicted, and
had been on friendly terms with most
OF those identified with the trial.
CONFESSED THE CRIME
The execution took place at 7.35
O'Clock this morning. Before the ex.
ecution Former Mayor McOue made a
full confession to his spiritual ad-
wiser, admitting the crime of wife
murder. Much interest has been man
ifested here today relative to McCue's
execution and the Capital has been
besieged with callers and telephone
messages as to his confession, which
it was expected he would make before
the execution.
