HARVEY THOMPSON
kills Wife AND SELF

Harve Thompson, aged 45
years, who lived in Greene
county, near Delaplaine, shot
and killed his wife, Zella
Thompson aged about 80, at
their home atan early hour
last Thursday morning, and
then shot himself through the
head, dying instantly. There
were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy, but the coroner's jury
returned a verdict to the above
effect.
There was no one in the
house at the time except a
daughter, eleven years old, who
was washing dishes in the
kitchen. She state Il that
Thompson had gone to the barn
to help the farm hands hitch
up the teams. She heard him
return and enter the room
where her mother was making
the beds. No word passed be-
tween them she said, except
that she heard her mother ex-
claim, Don't do that, sweet
hearth and Immediately she
she heard the shots and on run
ming into the room found her
father and mother both dead.
Mrs. Thompson was shot twice
one bullet entered her head, the
other through her left breast.
Thompson was shot once, the
bullet entering the left side of
his head and coming out on the
right side.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson
has been previously married
and each had children by their
former marriage. Thompson's
first wife was the daughter of
Ed. d. N. King of Dalton, who
died a few months before
Thompson's marriage to the
woman he is supposed to have
killed. There was one child, a
babe 21 months old, by the last
marriage.
No cause for the rash act is
known, but neighbors and
friends of the family state that
Thompson had not been acting
naturally for several weeks
past, and it is generally be-
lieved that he suddenly became
mentally unbalanced.
The fatal shots were fired
from a S. & w. pistol.
The remains of Mrs. Thomp-
son were buried at her family
burying ground at Delaplaine
Friday and Thompson was bur-
led in the Duty graveyard the
following day.
