physician. and surgeon, and the Rev.
j. r. Terry, pastor Of the Methodls!
Church, both Of this city. were found
yesterday afternoon about six niles
south of here, shot to pieces. Wheh
discovered DR.. Hughes was dead, hav-
ing been shot in the face with full
load from a shotgun. He was also
shot in other parts of the body. His
entire right hand was shot off as
if he had thrown up his hand to ward
off the shot from the face.
Mr.. Terry was still alive when
parties who had hurried to the scene
reached him. He had been shot
through the lungs twice with .3S-
caliber automatic pistol.
When asked if he and Dir. Hughes
had uuarreled he shook his head mega
lively, according to the police. When
asked if he shot DR.. Hughes. no

ard if Hughes had shot him, he an
swered Eyes" again. Doctors say that
it will be impossible for him TIC
recover enough to throw any light on
tie tragedy.
The men had left Russe!lville only
half an hour earlier for lockwood
seven miles south of here, where they
frequently went together on hunting
trips and for which purpose they had
gone yesterday afternoon. Only one
shotgun was carried, that belonging
to Terry.
About 4 o'clock DR.. Hughes was
seen to get in his car, which was
standing in front of his office on
jackson avenue, and drive off, taking
Mr.. Terry with him. 1t was gem
orally known that they had planned
the trip yesterday afternoon. Two
pistols were found. but only one was
discharged which was lying on the
ground just under the car. The
bodies were on different sides of the
road, with the car between them, both
guns being on the side with Mr..
Terry.
Mr.. Terry had a wife and several
children some of them grown.
Hughes leaves a wife and several
small children.

New York, Oct. A sordld 70
nance, which started eleven years
ago in Client, Belgium, eliminated
Yesterday in Il double murder in the
apartment of the janitreSs OF 4
fashionable Bronx apartment house.
Chas. Won Pouke. the confessed muir
derer. shot and killed the woman for
whom he had deserted his wife and
children, and the man who, he IN
formed the police, had stolen her al
fec.ions from him. The dead are
Charlotte Shauwsliege, 40. known as
Won Pouke's wife, janitrcSs of the
apartment house; Harry Eandaweghe,
SO, machiniSt, who boarded with the
slain woman. '''' ,">
The self-confessed murderer told
the police that he and the woman who
later passed as his wife, were both
married and had children when they
fell. in love in Belgium. DESERVING
their families they came to America.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1917-10-04

Won Poake introduced Eandaweghe
also a Belgian, to his wife about
two years ago. Common interest IN
their homeland brought the. three, to-
gether frequently. About sly months
ago, the alleged wife suggested that
the other man be accepted as. q
boarder, which was done.
Several months later Won Pouke
began to suspect he had been sup
planted in his wife's affections, yes
terday he gained entrance to the
apartment by climbing in at the bath
room window. He discovered his Tor
mer friend and the woman asleep
and the double tragedy followed.
