Jesse ". Fuller, a substantial and
hard working farmer Of the county
was fatally shot at an early hour
Friday morning by his eighteen-yeaf-
old son, John Irby Fuller, death en-
suing four and half hours later.
The shooting took place at five
o'clock and was, 1t seems, the Sc
Quel Of q series of domestic troubles,
periodically precipitated by the head
of the family himself.
Apparently brooding and chating
over his treatment of the day be-
fore of another son, Ben Tillman
Fuller, whom he is alleged to have
brutally assaulted out in the field,
Jesse Fuller, the father arose FIJI
day morning in an extremely nao
mood and became furious upon ind
ing that Ben had left home during
the night.
He aroused the entire family and
started In, as he declared to clear
out every LuCu1CSl VI LILO -SSoS~->>'
by assaulting Mrs. Fuller with
very heavy brogan shoe, after which
he secured his pistol and was in
the act Of ieyeling it on his wite
when the boy. John Irby Fuller,
standing on the stairway with gun
in hand. warned his father not TO
shoot or strike his mother, another
blow.
Instantly Fuller, who was stand
ing in the living room across the
hallway. faced the son and was
shot down. the entire charge OF shot
taking effect in the abdomen.
After coming to town for doc
tor young Fuller returned to the
City at S O'Clock and gave himself
up to the Sheriff, requesting that he
be permitted to attend the funeral
in the event Of his fathers deatn.
He. is at the county Jail in Laurens,
but will probably secure bail later.

had remarked his divorced wife,

meditatively. well, l am willing
to do it for you since l find tnat |

Just like real Newlyweds, Mr. and
Mrs. Huson fondle and caress each
other, and they say that they are
going TO follow the advice of Judge
Gavin who married them, to the ef-
feet that whenever either one of
them starts to quarrel the other
should walk away.

that they could no longer live to-
gether. That was three years ago
Mrs. Huson was busily engaged IN
unpacking her trunks that have been
stored away ever since tie divorce.
At various times she would come
across things that would remind her
of her former marriage days. In
spite of there being third party
present, both Of them commented up
on it, and Huson finally said, Gee!
am glad We did 1t over again.
Mrs. Huson just smiled and hit her
husband a playful whack on the
cheek.

Declared guilty by jury Of muir
der in the first degree and sentenc'
ed to be electrocuted in Richmond,
January Z, was the outcome of the
trial at Grundy, Va, Saturday OF
Howard Little. who was charged
with the sextuple murder Of Bits
Betty r. Justis, George Meadows
his wife, and three children. The
jury rendered its verdict Saturday
morning after having been out all
night.
The murder occurred at Hurley
Buchanan county, and the bodies OF
the victims were burned.
The crime for which Little was
found guilty was particularly afro
cious one. The only motive which
now can be conceived by the au,
thorities is that of robbery. They
believe Little sought to obtain tins
money which he thought was In the
house, amounting to $1,000. and that
murder and arson followed, but
since the crime was committed none
of the money has been found. Feel
ing against the prisoner ran to such
an extent that an extra guard was
placed around the Jail to prevent
violence.
