Awaiting Trials for Shooting
in Two States When
Killed.
His Neiehborhood Had Seen
Much Disorder.
BYNUM is SCARCELY ALIVE.

Mayfeld, KY, May z. Especial. y
Mat Bynum is still living. but with
little hope of recovery from the
wound inflicted by willard Wylie, his
brother-in-law, whom he killed.
willard Wylie went to the home Of
Mat Bynum, who lives with his
mother, Mrs. George Bynum, about
100 yards from Wylie's home and
called him to the door. Only a few
words were spoken by each one of
them when Wylie began shooting at
Bynum with a pistol. Two shots we're
fired but only one took effect and
that was in the lung. Bynum ran into
the house Immediately, procuring a
doublebarrel shotgun. He fired the
contents OF both barrels into the body
of wylie, who fell to the ground
MORALLY wounded. This was about
8 O'Clock and he died about O'Clock
Thursday morning.
Willard Wylie was a well known
character OF the south part OF the
county as well as across the line In
Weakley county, Tenn. He had
been in more trouble probably than
any one other man In the county. He
was a brother-in-law of Bynum, hav-
ing married the latter's sister several
months ago.
Three shooting scrapes have occur
red at the Bynum home within the
past year and Wylie was implicated
In two of them.
Wylie shot Jack McCIain and seri-
ously injured him last fall at the BY
mum place. McClain has recovered
and the charge is still pShdlng in CIR
cult court. He escaped after this was
done and was later captured in Mem
phis and brought back here where he
executed bond for his release. While
he was out on bond about month
ago he shot at Deputy Sheriff Henry
Collier, OF Dukedom. on the Tonnes
see line, but received a bullet in his
hip. He had been laid up for several
weeks.
This same wyhe has been in the
courts for a number of years and is
a young man about 80 years old. II
is said that he killed a negro in Texas
few years ago.
At this same Bynum home about
eight months ago. Walter Bynum. a
brother of Mat Bynum. and Riggs
Bostic had difficulty when Bostic
shot Bynum and slightly wounded
him.
