Rock Hill Herald, Nov. 2f: An in
tended pleasure trip to Charlotte yes
terday by Mrs. David Hutchison, Miss
Katie Hutchinson and William Hutchi-
son, came very near ending disastrous
". AS they neared Fort Mill the car
skidded, though it did not turn over en-
tirely, and threw Mrs. Hutchison out
She received number of bruises, but
no bones were broken. She is not con-
fined to her room today, but feels pref
ty sore. A passing traveller brought
the two ladies home, and later, William
came on in the car.........John L. Davis
and family have moved from the
Methodist parsonage to the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Roddey Reid, on Acade-
my street, where they have taken
apartments until their residence, on
East Main street is finished...--.-.-..Local
officials have as yet been unable to
locate A. NJ. Giles, who yesterday after
noon shot down in cold blood his wife,
as the latter was leaving her boarding
place to return to work. The surround
ing territory was secured during the
afternoon and early evening, but not a
trace Of the man could be found. He
was last seen in the vicinity Of the
cemetery, it being reported that he
stopped and reloaded his revolver.
Mrs. Giles was taken to the Fennell
Infirmary late yesterday afternoon, and
was still alive today, but physicians
think there is only a bare possibility
Of her recovery. 1t has been determin-
ed that but one of the four shots fired
was effective, the ball entering the head
in the left temple and emerging below
the right ear, having penetrated the
brain. Giles, it is said, is about so
years Of age. He has been twice
married and has son in Asheville. He
also has a brother in Durham, n. C.,
it is understood. He had been in Rock
Hill some time. In his studio was
found a letter, which had not been
mailed, in which he informed Mrs.
Giles that he intended to get even and
that she had better watch out. Of
ficers have thrown out the network of
the law all surrounding places having
been notified of the crime and given a
description Of the assassin. 1t was
stated by one Of the eye-witnesses that
after his wife fell to the ground Giles
put the gun to his head and pulled the
trigger, but the weapon was empty.
This would indicate a purpose of sui
eide, and it is barely possible that he
loaded his gun and killed himself as
soon as he secreted himself in the
woods. It is believed, however, that if
he contemplated killing himself he
would have done so Immediately af-
ter reloading the weapon.
