Chattanooga. Ernest Swafford was
shot and killed by his wife after he had
battered the door of cheir oneroom
cabin down, shot his wife's sister and
threatened to 'clean out the whole fam

separted for some time. He stole to
the cabin and carried off their child.
Mrs. Swafford secured peace warrant,
together with papers by which she could
regain possession of the child. Swafford
learned of his wife's action and in re-
taliation he went to the house with a
shotgun. Gathering the door of the
cabin down, he fred one shot, which hit
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Templeton, in the
hip. His wife, who was crouching in a
corner of the one-room cabin, picked up
another shotgun before her husband
could fire again, pulled trigger and the
load penetrated his stomach and death
was almost instantaneous.
