DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN
GOOCHLAND
co.
MAN SHOOTS FATHER-IN-LAW
AND IL HIMSELF SHOT DEAD,
SUPPOSEDLY BY HIS OWN
HAND.

Richmond, Va, April "Details
have been received here of dou-
BILE tragedy in Goochland county in
which Byron Waldrop. a highly re-
spected farmer of that county, was
fatally shot by his son-in-law, John
l.. Baltimore, who afterward stepped
into the yard and placed his revolver
against his own breast, firing two
shots into his heart, dying instant
~. The young wife of Baltimore
was searching for her husband. re-
volver in hand, when she discovered
him lying face downward on the
sward dead, his smoking weapon by
his side. At that very instant the
infant child of the estranged couple
was playing about the nursery floor
by the side of it's unconscious and
bleeding grandparent.
Cause OF the Shooting.
The direct cause of the shooting
was the separation of Baltimore and
his wife, who was formerly Miss
Willie Waldrop. The couple were
married two and half years ago.
They are the parents Of one child,
now little more than year old.
Mrs. Baltimore three weeks ago
complained to her father that her
husband had treated her badly She
decided at the same time that she
could no longer live with him. The
father became incensed at the story
related by his daughter. and imme-
diately advised the separation.
The Baltimores at that time lived
on West Marshall street, this city.
Waldrop, in the absence of Balti-
more, took his wife and child to
their old home in Goochland. The
Waldrop home is situated between
Cardwell and, Orville, five miles
above Sabot. on the James River di-
vision of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad.
Yesterday afternoon Baltimore,
accompanied by his brother, former
ly fagman on the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg & Potomac railway, went
to the Waldrop home and demand
ed to see Mrs. Baltimore and the
baby. The old man is alleged to
have told him that he might see the
little girl, but that his wife would
be denied him. The baby was pro-
duced and Baltimore took the little
one on his lap.
Waldrop left the room but fear
ing that the father might attempt
to make off with his child returned
in a moment and warned Baltimore
that he would prevent any such at
tempt. In a moment Baltimore fired
three shots at the old man, who
dropped to the floor mortally
wounded. The child, unmindful of
the crime, tottered about the floor
while the father proceeded to
search the house for his missing
wife. Not finding her he went into
the yard and turned his pistol upon
himself 1t is probable that he in
tended to kill the woman If he found
her.
