Story of Crime.

Montgomery. September 3.-(Special)
 Mrs William Stevenson and her daugh- :
 ter Gertrude Vann were shot by Will
 liam Stevenson, husband and step father, at the home of the family near
 Grady, early today. The young woman was killed almost instantly by a shot in her stomach, and the elder suffered
 the loss of one hand. shot off by the
 other barrel of the gun carried by the
 man upon slaughter bent
 The tragedy took place just after breakfast, about a. m., and with only the man and the two women in the
 house. The shots were heard by Grover Vann, 12-year-old son of the woman injured, who rushed up in time to see Stevenson running up the road with his gun in his hand. negro man
 from a neighboring farm, in search of a stray mule, ran to the house with | the boy and then gave the alarm To the time of writing this Mrs. Steven | son had not made any statement of the l shooting.
 Stevenson and his wife had been | living apart for some time. The young
 woman, IS years of age who had been | in a business college In Montgomery, went home early in the- week to stay
 with her mother, and 1t was anticipated that nothing more would be heard Of Stevenson It was not known that he was the place today until he began
 shooting, so far as the lad can tell
 though he may have had something
 to say before using the gun, to the
 women who were shot.
 Shortly after the shooting Sheriff
 Hood sent two deputies with four dogs
 to the scene in automobiles. They
 reached there about 12:30, making the 30-mile trip in two hours, in spite of breaking down, and were joined by Sheriff Tatum and party from Cren- shaw county. The feeling against him is high and while tonight it is said
 that he will hardly be lynched, still ] there is fear that he will be If good 1 chance offers.
 Mrs. Stevenson was the widow of Frank Vann, who was shot to death in this county II years ago. She and her father, J. R. McLendon of Ramar were tried on a charge of murdering Vann, but acquitted. She married Stevenson three years ago. He came to her home and went to work on her farm. and shortly after they were married. Since that time they have had rather hard time to get along it is said. It Is also said by the neighbors that Stevenson is a dangerous man, bad when he is drinking, and they are not surprised that so dreadful a tragedy has come out of it.
 | The dead girl had many friends in | Montgomery. She had been In school l here quite while and had a sister | married and living here. Stevenson | comes from Calhoun county, where his | family is quite prominent.
