to the neighborhood of the mayors

crowd dispersed and then he gave
himself up and was fined $40.

port from the town, johnson and the

Meadowdale parsonage. on Monday
morning, May IS, died last night at
7:45 o'clock at the Fairmont City
hospital, whence he had been taken
in an almost dying condition last FRI
day night.
The cause of his death, the doctors
nerves. This shock was sustained, it
is believed when coffman's reason re-
turned and the full realization OF his
awful crime dawned upon him. Since
Tuesday. May 26. when Coffman had
an outbreak in the county jail. he had
been on the decline. and for several
days he was unable to partake of
nourishment
Sometime between midnight and
dawn on the morning of the 18th.
Coffman slew his wife by horribly
beating her with poker and lacera-
ting her with razor. When his
bloody work was completed and the
woman's body lay in pool In the
yard Coffman went to the home of
Mr.. Lafayette Meredith and told him
that he had killed his mother. M.
Meredith and his son went to the
house Immediately and instead OF
finding the mother dead the body OF
the wife was discovered.
In due time officers from the sher-
iff's office arrived and placed the min
lister under arrest andCoroner Amos
viewed the body and conducted his
examination.
On the evening following the crime
coffman was brought before the COM
mitting magistrate and held without
bail for the grandjury. While in the
office OF the justice he appeared per-
-fectly rational but did not seem to
relish talking, even going so far as
to ask the prosecuting attorney to
not ask him questions.
,Coffman was about 90 years of age.
He had charge OF the Meadowdaie
circuit OF the Methodist Episcopal
church and was probationary mem
ber of the conference.
He was native Of Harrison county
and had preached in Wheeling and
other places throughout the state.
