From the Savannah News, 20th.] The little twosstory frame house at the southeast corner of Houston and President streets was the scene of a murder yesterday that will rival in horror any that has occur ed for a long time. At 1:30 the Sunday quiet that brooded over the neighorhood was broken by two pistol shots, Upen a bed.in this house Edward E Thomas lay dead. A hole in his right groin, and alittle stream of blood trick ling from the wound, told the sto ry of how his life went out, but no one knew theu that the one who fired the fatal shot was Wil liam Wingard, the dead man’s 15- year old step-son. The shooting was the culmination of a long story —a tale of family disputes and ofa wife's cruel treatment. THE FAMILY HISTORY. | About sixteen years ago Fannie Taut married a man named Win gard, by whom she had two chil dren. Four years ago Wingard died, and a year later his widow married Edward E. Thomas, in Beaufort, 8 . Soon after their marriage they came to Savannah and went to live with James A Taut, the father of Mrs. Thomas, They remained there until nine weeks ago, but their lite was by no means a happy one: Thomas was given to drink and Mrs. Taut and he were constantly quarrelling, and these disputes taused trouble between Thomas and his wife. Finally Thomas told his wife that he thought if they would go off and live by themselves they would not have so many disputes. They took rooms in the house of Mr. Pe ter Murnhy, where the tradgedy oceurred. - There they lived until yesterday. J THE WIDOW'S STORY. The story of the incidents that led to the crime, as told by Mrs. Thomas at the coroner’s inquest, is as follows: ‘My husband worked all day Saturday. He came home last night, but left the house and did not return until 12 o’clock. He had been drinking, but retired quietly, and did n.t uwake until this morning. He took several | drinks, one before he got out of bed, and sat down to breakfast quarreling about one thing and another After breakfast he went out several times, and each time returned more under the in fluence of liquor. The last timc‘ he came back he was very full,and began cursing and abusing me, and i finally picked me up in his arms and told me that he was going to throw me out of the window. I struggled to free myself, and screamed as loud as I could. and he put me dowa. STRUCK HER WITH A BROOM. Istarted to run down stairs and he struck me across the face with a broom. I went down to the back steps and sat there crying for a while. When I went back into the house I found him lying across the bed. As I entered Le ordered me to leave the room. I had some berries in the house ard ¥ fook them to my mother, who lived on East Boundary street near Boughton, and asked her to make me some pies. My sister no ticed the red mark on my face and asked me the cause. 1 told her Ed. had struck me with a broom. No one was in the room but my mother and sister; I did not see my son. I returned home in a few minutes and found my hus band asleep across the foot of the bed. Ilay down beside him and dozed for about half an hour and then started down stairs to cook dinner. I met my son in the pas. sage and took from him a basket in which were the pie aud a pack age of sugar. ; ‘ HE BROUGHT _THE PIE. | I asked him, Q{m have you brought the pie?” and he answered. ‘Yes.” I then asked what they were all doing at home, and he re plied ‘nothing.” 1 thought that be followed me, but as 1 set the‘ basket down in the dining room 1 heard the report of a pistol, I ran out ot the dining room and met my son who was coming out of the bedroom and tried to catch hold ot him. I said, ‘My God, Bossie, what did you do it for?" He made no answer, but kept run ning down stairs, putting ghe pis tol in his pocket. I ran into the room and my husband was sitting on the side of the bed. I said. ‘Oh, my God, Ed!' He groaned and laid back He did not utter a word. Iran down stairs, and when I returned, he was dead.® Mrs. Thomas further said that Thomas and her son William hail no difficulties, but that the young er son. Thomas Wingard, who is only 12 years old, frequently quar reled, and about fi%e months ago the boy tried to stab her husband, THE MURDER, The older boy made sirer work, He secured the . pistol from the trousers of a butcher namsd Thom as E Mitchell, who slept in his father's house. He went to _Mitch-‘; ell's room in the morning and awakened him from his sleep to borrow the pistol. Mitchel} refus ed to lend it, and said he would not lend it to anybody. Wingard enteved the room after Mitchell bad fallen to sleep again and took the pistol, then got the basket from his grandmother and sought hie mother. Atter delivering the bas~ ket to her he went up stairs and entered the bedroom, where he foupd Thomas lying asleep, with & newspaper resting on his stom ach. Wingard was not more than five feet away wheu he entered the room. He fired atid the ball entefed the iman's right groin, sevs ered the femotal drtery and emergs ed from the back. ‘ GAVE RIMSELF UP, | Wingard ran down stairs, passed his mother and ran to the home of his grandfather, where he told of hisact. He asked his granfatlier to accompany him to the police barracks, as he wanted to give him selt up. On the way ovet he hand- | ed Mr, Taut the pistol and told him to keep it. At the burracksi he was cool and sclf-possessed. | He told Sergeant Reilly at flrst! that he had a difficulty with st,ep-] father and wanted to give himeelf up, Afterward he said he had; shot Thomas. Just before he was taken to the cell he turned to hia! grandfnthcg' and said with the ut—-i most unconcern. ‘Here is a dime, ‘ grandps; go aud get me some Cis | garetts.’ ' THE GRIEF STRICKEN WIDOW. The grief of the widow while fhe was giving her testimony was something heart-rendering. She paced the floor and wrung her } bands. and between her sentences moaned pitifully, uttering the most touching prayers. Now and then she turned toward the room where the body lay and called to “ ‘Ed." and begged him to wake up and speak to her once more. The witnesses of her agony were awed ‘ into silence by the greatness of her grief, and the officers with hesitans cv questioned her. What seemed to pain her most was her having to tell of his cruelty to her, yet she told it all. She said that once he knocked her down in the street, once threw bottles at her, often beat her, but she would willingly bear all of thut if she could only call him back to life. After she had given her testimony she wone dered around the house from room to hallway, out on the piazza, from one place to aunother, moaning most pititully. A TALK WITH THE SLAYER. Her son was lyinz in the cell at the barracks, where he was found by a. Morniny News reporter, who asked him if he had any statement to make. | ‘No," he replied, ‘I don’t want to say anything.’ 1 *You don't deny the shooting? ‘Oh, no! I ¢hot him." ; ‘Why did you do it?’ | ‘Because be treated my, motber} cruelly and beat her. Only this morning he lifted her up and Wusj going to throw her out of the wins dow.’ ‘Did you ever see him treat her cruelly? # ‘Yes; I have seen him slap her.’ ¢Where did you get the pistol?’ ‘Never mind where I got the pistol,” he replied, and he then evinced such a desire to be let alone that he was not plied with ques tions. Lieutenant Green told him | to get ready to go to jail, and he replied, ‘All right, sir,’ as if he had been told to go home. He is not at all concerned about the affar, and takes it as cooly as if he had shot a rat. After the®roroner’s jury had been out about fifteen minutes, they came to a verdict that the deceased came to his deathffrom the effects of a gun shotwound from 2 pistol in the hands of William i Edward Wingard,and they consid ered it premeditated murder, The verdict was cigned by five of the six jurors, E C Wilson, a Negro, re fusing to consent. He considered it justifiable homicide. ‘ WHO THOMAS WAS. ‘ Edward Thomas was born in Au gusta about 35 years ago and lived there until he had grown up and learned his trade, He then moved to Beaufort and then to Savannah, He was a mechanic, and an excells ent one. He has worked at a num ber of mechine shops in this city ‘and was always accounted an ex cellent workman. He had been l.ugsged at the Morning News of fice adjusting some machinery for the last three weeks, and had just completed the work. He had an | other job awsiting bim, and had bought special tools that he requir ed: His fondness for liquor was well known to his frieuds ; still he was liked and was generally consid: ered a good fellow. THROWING THE SLIPPER. Origin ot a Wedding Custom Thiat Has Invaded Many Lauds: Throwitig an old slipper after & bride and bridegroom when start ing op their honeymoon is supposs ed to have taken its origin from a Jewish custom, amd signifies the obedience of the wite as well as the supremacy of the husband. A shoe is thrown for luck on other ocea sions hesides a marriage, DB Johneon says: *‘Hurl after me an old shoa | T'll be merry, whatever I do.” | It is related that many years ago, when lotteries were permitted, the custom of throwing a shoe taken from the left foot after persons were practiced for gdod luck. This custom has existed iu Norfolk and | other countries from time immemo rial, not only at weddiugs, but on' all occasions where good luck is required A cattle dealer required his wife to *‘trull her left shoe af. ter him” when he started for Nor~ wich to purchase a lottery ticket. As he drove off on his errand he looked round to see if his wife bad performed the charm, and received the shoe in his face with such force ‘ as to black bis eyes He went and bought his ticket, which turned up a prize of six hundred pounds, and he always attributed his luck to the extra dose of shoe which he got. The custom, as it originally existed, is dying out, for, whereas our forefathers threw old shocs af ter the wedding equipage, we, in this more luxurious age, purchase new white satin slippers for the] purpose. The origin of this cus tom may be traced from the words in Psalm cviii.; “Over Edom will I cast out my ®hce,” meaning thereby that success should atiend the methods used to subdue the Edomites. Tt iz not unlikely, | therefore, that the superstitious custom has arisen from this con« struction of these words.—All the Year Round, ] Bound tv Have Him, ® Detroit Free Press. ] A tarmer in the western part of the county built & dam across a creek flowing through his land and made quite a lake of a piece of low ground. One day last fall, while skirting thie poud, he came across a man who was seated on a log, with three fish lines out, and he bailed him with ‘Hello, stranger, what fre you doing | ‘Fishing," was the brusque re= ply. | ‘What tor?' | ‘For fish.’ | ‘Get any bites ?* ‘Not aone.' ‘Do you know that this lake be longs to fe?" | “Yes.’ | ‘And did anybody tell you that I went down to Detroit and bought} twenty-four bulheads and all but one died on the way up here ‘Yes." ‘ “Then you know that there is only oue solitary fish 1n this pond # ‘I do, mister, and I'm goiug to have him before night if the pond doesn't freeze over and cyclones stay away.' il The Meznest Husband, Detroit Pree Press.] *I think I've got rather the nieans est husband in Detroit,' exclaimed a litile woman ot the car the other day. Her friend asked her to ex plain, and she continued: ‘I found that he was smoking fifty cents' worth of cigars a day, and I got him to agree to give me as much pin-money per week as the cigars cost. He stuck to it one week.’— ‘And then what?' ‘He bought him a clay pipe and a pound of ten cent smoking tobacco, and my income is cut down to two cents s week.” YOL. Ill].—~No-9 MODEST DEMANDS.
