KILLS WIFE AND HANGS SELF. REGISTER SIGMAN WINS SUIT.
Charles E. Davis, wealthy farmer of
pear Wake forest, and Sam P. Shad
rick, tenant on Davis" farm, both kill
ed their wives early Monday moraine
and Davis then huntr himself in the
Raleigh jail early Wednesday mora
ine, Davis was filled , with . mean
moonshine liquor when arrested and
when brought to jail remained in a
drunken stupor for more than twelve
hours. He is said to have drunk a
Tllon find a half between Friday and
Monday morning. Shadrick. who .was
lecently discharged frojn the insane
asylum, was gibbering like a manir.e
when arrested. After Davis hunt:
himself in jail, Shadrick said he
would like to do the same thing, "but
lidnt have the nerve."
Davis is estimated to have been
worth at least $100,000 and lived in
the finest home in his township. He
came home drunk and frightened his
pon and daughter, then shot his "wife
three times, she dying that day. The
children jumped from a second story
window, the daughter breaking an an
kle, and ran to secure help. Davis
was found holding the baby in the bed
beside his wife.
Shadrick blew part of his wifes
head off with a shotgun and when offi
ers arrived he was sitting beside the
body gibbering like a maniac. He had
of naDer around the
part of the head blown off and had
placed it in the'stove. When arrested
he laid he had found a man in the
house, but this is declared to have
been purely hallucination, as Mrs.
Shadrick was a woman above suspic
ion. .
Davis was a victim of influenza in
1919 and it is said that the after af-fe-t.
coupled with excessive use of
whiskey had probably deranged his
mind.
