Seneca was thrown into intense eX
citement last Saturday night about
O'Clock when it was reported that
there had been a killing in East End,
near the post office. Berry Orr, col
| ored. quarreled with his wife and
stabbed her, death being almost in
| stant%eous. Orr and his wife had
not lived together for some time.
Chief Of Police Hunnicutt heard them
| quarreling and saw Orr strike his
| wife, but did not know that the at
fair was serious, though he ordered
him to halt and shot after him seve-
| raj times. Orr Is still at large and q
posse is hunting him. An inquest
was held over the body of the dead
woman by Judge J. E. Hopkins.
