How it alt came about has the tisuul number of versions but the most credjble one ahij the. pne which MrVWinn told the officers (rivheu&n swore out tho complaint for the. arrest of bis brothe r i fallows: ' ' .' , M A. Winn iiml wife reside en , small farm south of town, nd with them lives the former's brother, Henry Winn. Sunday Henry and M. A. Winn' wife at tended the conductor' picnic at alem. They returned on the boat,' were met by the husband, and all went home where the hnpteningB of the day were discussed until a late hour, all retiring to their apartment! at the name time. .It eem the btd-ehsiuber constituted room for' both beds, and Hhortly after the midnight hour Henry claimed nickneHR and callmi to Mrx Minn, and together they went lown-stair8, the husband falling back into slumber. Mrs. Winn is aaid to have returned to her place hemde her hunbsnd, and later on Henry came with a club with which he struck his brother sev ral blows on the head, cutting deep gimhen, and several blows on the arms, swelling them to thrice thoir size. The blows, of courso, rendered him unconscious, and on coming out of tho stupor he Buys Ids wife whs standing between Jlonry and himttelf screaming. He was covered with blood. He anked Henry why he did it, mfd ho re plied: "f don't know." They went to their father's home, a few rods liHtiuit, and there discussed the matter with him, Henry still in piHting that he didn't know why ho had committed the deed. On coming to tort ii Monday M. A. Winn swore out a warrant for his brother's arrest. , The prifoner was arraigned, but waived examin ation, entering a plea of guilty. He was hound over in the Hum of ifi'iO, in default of which he was committed to tho county j-iil to await the circuit court. This is one vernion of the affair. Others think that Henry and tho wife were enamored of each other and the act was premeditated. There are several other theories, l)ut in the absence of substantiating proof we refrain from giving them publicity. It is enough to know that the young man has committed a crime which is very grave in the -eyes of the law. First-class wo'k! work. done at tlilliard & Hymale's. K.w I CSS .rf.sv F. A.
