DOUBLE TRAGEDY

Blue Ridge, Va, April 20.--Craz
ed with whiskey, Richard Dearing o.
Portsmouth, shot his wife three time.
yesterday near this place, killing hel
instantly. He then fired a ball witt
the smoking revolver into his own
head inficting wound from which
the doctors, say he canot recover.
The tragedy occurred about l0o'clock
yesterday morning, soon after Dear
ing's arrival from Portsmouth. He
had ben separated from his wife fol
several years.
He sent word to her to meet him at
the home of 4 neighhor. Not suspect
] ing that he intended doing her any
harm, she went ta see what he want
ed.
Without warning bearing began
tireing as she entered the house The
shooting was done so quickly that
persons in the house had no time to in
terfere. Dearing turned the revolver
on himself before it could he wrench
ed from his hand.
Ii was noted that he was drinking
when he arrived in town. However,
he let fall no remark that he was
bent on staying his wife. 1t is be-
lieved that brOoding over his domestic
troubles, coupled with the drink habit
unbalanced him.
Dearine'& wife was Miss Roberts
Since leaving him she has been living
with her mother, Mrs. L. J. QuarleS
Of this place.
AS quickly as possible after the trag
edy, doctor was summoned To at
tend the wife murderer and would be
suicide. Examination of the wound
convinced the physicians in Il few min
utes that the man had no chance to
live. In fact, he said that it was al
most a miracle that death did not re-
suit instantly. as in the case Of his
wife.
The greatest excitement prevailed
for while and interfercd with the us
ual Sunday morning church services.
1t is reported that Dearing came
here seeking 4 reconciliation with his
wife, and might have been overtures
in that direction, but for the fact that
his mental balance was upset by liquor
which is understood to have been the
,auae of the separation.
