TRAGEDY
Commemorative Attorney
Rucker Gives Additional
Light on Killing of Amos
by Sister in law at Buena
Vista.

Richmond, Va, April 14.-H. =.
Rucker, commemorative attorney OF
Buena Vista, has written Mrs. Hatton
A. Amos, whose husband died ia
this city today after a long illness
regarding the tragedy at Buena VIC
Ia last week in which her brother
in-law, Walter A. Amos, was shot
and killed by Mrs Campbell, sister
OF his wife, with whom he was al
tempting q reconciliation.
The account given by the common
wealth's attorney seems to show thar
Amos was endeavoring to persuade
his wife to come back to live with
him, and had actually gotten her to
SO with him to their home when her
sisters. Mrs. Campbell, the woman
who shot him; Mrs Dooley and Mrs
Tcmlin, who did not favor a recon-
citation, sought to prevent it. Amos
was gotten out Of the house on
SuDterfuge, and Mrs. Amos persuad-
ed to go to the home of Mrs. Camp.
bell, fifty yards away, during his
absence.
Amos then went to the home of
Mrs. Campbell for his wife. He was
met by his wife and Mrs. Campbell
the one with a revolver, the other
with a shot gun. He was shot at
Goth by his wife and her sister. Mrs.
Campbell, Mrs. Campbell running
irto the yard and shooting at him
again as he was retreating towards
his own house.
1t is not now believed that Amos
shot at Mrs. Campbell. The state,
ment of Mrs. Campbell that she shot
Amos while he was holding her at
bay with pistol is disproved by tn.
fact that the man was shot in the
back. Amos it is said, was actually
running away from the house when
he was killed.

ATTEMPT To ROB
CITY POSTOFF|CE
Made by Burglars - Large
Hole was Bored in the
Iron Safe.

Roanoke, Va, April IA bold
attempt was made early yesterday
morning to rob the Roanoke post.
Office, and the failure was undoubt-
edly due to the vigilance of the au
thorities.
1t was evident from the skillful
manner in which the robbery was
attempted, that the matter was in
the hands Of professional crooks.
BY breaking open a window lead
ing into Postmaster Funkhouser' s
private office the would-be robbers
gained access to the building. IN
this office there is the entrance way
Of a large safe, which is built in
the walls and guarded by double
steel doors.
Two policemen, in accordance with
their custom, entered the postoffico
to take look around, and their pres
ence undoubtedly scared away tho
burglars.
