MURDERS HIS WIFE
TRAGEDY IN TERMINAL, STATION
 AT BIRMINGHAM,
After Fleeing From The station with Policemen in Pursuit, The Negro Fired Bullet Into His
 Own Brain

Birmingham, Nov, 6--(SpeciaD--A negro supposed to be George Wash ington, entered the colored waiting room of the terminal station and go. ing up to a woman who it is suppos- ed was his wife, grabbed her around the neck and with a pistol which he placed almost next to her head, sent two bullets to her brain.
 large crowd of people were in the sta tion and great excitement was creat- ej. A spent bullet struck negro man but did not inture him severely. Washington then jumped through a window and made off. firing his revol- yer at everybody whom he thought was after him. About two blocks away. Officer Mingea, hearing shots. saw the negro running and took sev- eral shots at him. Negroes who were in sight say they saw the fleeing negro point his own pistol to his head and fire. Others took shots at the murderer. When he fell and phy- sicians reached him he was uncon- scious and while his injuries were pro nounced not fatal at first, he suc- cumbed few hours later at the hos pital.
 According to witnesses the dead woman was making preparations to go to Livingston. Ala, having separat' ed from her husband. She was walt. ing for a southbound train when George Washington came in and per formed his bloody deed. The excite ment that followed around the station was intense.

 Tuscumbia. Nov. 6.-(Special. )- The commissioners' Court of Colbert County, at its regular session held this week, made an adjustment with the three insurance companies, the Han over, Phoenix and Western. of the loss to the colbert County Court House, which was partially destroyed by fire last May.
 The loss was settled at $s.440.17, the amount of the award made by the three adjusters shortly after the fire, and there will be no litigation in regard to the matter. The loss was generally conceded to be at Feast s10,000, but the adjusters, one representing the county and one the insurance companies. fall: ed to- make an estimate edualling that amount, and after disagreeing, called in the umpire, and the three agreed on the af;ove award of s6.440.1T. The county probably could have recovered more than the award, but to do so would doubtless have involved the county in a suit ana the Court of Com missioners decided that 1t would be better to accept the award rather than be tangled an long litigation.
