The shooting occured in the rear of
the store of W. O. Johnson.
Mr*. Johnson was In front writing a
letter and several men were In front,
who left when the shooting commenc
ed.
Who began the firing is not known
at this time, because no one In the
store could tell, for the first they
knew of it one man was on the floor
mortally wounded, dying in about 20
minutes and the other had walked
out the store and up the street to
Drs. Morton and Lewis’ offices.
The two men were brothera-in law
McCathern having married the sister
of Tinley, and the shooting was caus
ed by McCathern’s treatment of his
wife at Goldberg Bros., store a short
while before the killing.
McCathern entered Goldberg’s store
brandishing a pistol, grappled with
his wife across the counter. She held
on to his gun until help came and
then she left the store.
iAiwton Tinley, who is one of the
Waynesboro police, upon hearing of
the affair, came to investigate and
found McCathern in Johnson’s store
on Sixth street, where it was ended
by one being killed and the other se
riously wounded. Both are well
known citizens of the city.
