BROWN COUNT|AN
KILLS HIS BROTHER
INSTANTLY WITH GUN
Gulllerman Says He Killed His Broth
er to Put Him Out Of His
Mlsery-Admits He
Was Drunk.

Georgetown, Ohio. When John
Ballinger reached the sitting room Of
Lee Guillerman's home at Sardinia,
Saturday morning, he found Wesley
Guillerman sitting upon a chair, a
22-caliber pistol lying upon the win
dow sill, and Lee Guillerman stretch
ed PROSTATE upon the floor. Hurried
ly he asked Wesley Guillerman what
had taken place. In substance Wesley
Guillerman stated that Lee had been
in trouble and he put him out Of his
misery.
Shortly before Wesley Guillerman
had entered the side door of his
brothers home, which is upon the
street which leads to Mowrystown,
the fourth house upon the right after
leaving Main street. He was cursing
and muttering. Mrs. Lee Guillerman
taking notice Of the condition of Wes-
ley Guillerman, ran from the house as
did their daughter, Beatrice. This left
the two brothers in the house alone.
What actually took place will never
be known, as closest questioning Of
Wesley Guillerman, who admits he
was drunk, fails to bring out that he
had recollection of what was occur
ring, other than when the pistol err
ploded he realized that fact.
Later examination reveals that
there were two shots fired. One shot
punctured the main artery at the top
of Lee Guillerman's heart, and when
DR.. CLANCY arrived in short time
after he pronounced the gun users
victim dead. The other shot had pune
tured a window blind and window
pane in the room. The gun user had
pointed the pistol downward to shoot
his brother, and the other shot had
caused him to point upward. He does
not know which shot was fired first,
nor what happened.
When Ballinger received the reply
from Wesley Gullerman that he had
taken his brothers life to get him out
of his trouble, he spied the weapon
upon the window sill and gathered 1t
up. In the meantime the wife had
been giving the alarm, which was un-
derstood to have been discovery of
fire at the home. The whistle at the
Talbot lumber mill was sounded, and
in a short time crowd had collected.
Wesley Guillerman had no offer OF
resistance, and when Sheriff Neu ar
rived he was taken into custody and
brought to the county Jail. He was
in a dazed condition upon arrival here.
At the same time Prosecutor Bagby,
Court Stenographer Wirick and Cor
oner Holland. with DR.. CLANCY, ap-
peared upon the. scene and COM
