Shot His SiSter.in-LaW

James L. Polk, prominent farmer
Of Somerset County, living over the
river from Pocomoke City, twice shot
his sister. n-law, Mrs. James II. Law
renee. of New York, and beat his wife
with the but of his gun, last Saturday.
Mrs. Lawrence is badly injured, but is
said to have d fighting chance for re-
covery. Mrs. Polk is in a ptiable state
of prostration. AS soon as Polk com
mitted the deed he left home declaring
that he was going to kill himself. Sher-
i'll Dale. Deputies Townsend and others
went in search of the man as soon as
they learned of the crime.
Polk was captured late Saturday
night in pasture near the scene Of the
shooting. He had declared that he
would not be taken alive, but when the
calls Of former Sheriff Calvin Townsend
reused him from a drunken sleep he
submitted quietly, but protested that
he would not have allowed crowd to
take him. He said he had intended to
commit suicide when he fled, but that
he became confused and forgot not only
his designs upon his own life but all
about the trouble which had given rise
to them.
Before leaving his home for hiding
place in nearby swamp Polk reloaded
his gun and took it with him. He still
had 1t when found by Townsend, but
meekly surrendered it. He was taken
to his home and given change of cloth
ing. Then he was turned over to the
deputy sheriff, who took him to Jail at
Princess Anne.
A rambling account Of what had ac-
Cured was given by Polk, who said he
was constantly interfered with and be-
deviled, that his sister-in-law showed
too great desire to control his affairs
and that he has warned her he would
kill her if she didn't stop meddling.

was light blaze. and in few minutes
the whole building was enveloped in a
dense smoke, but the firemen fought
