WM. C. WARREN KILLED
Just before going to press Thursday morning we learn that Wm. C. Warren, a well known citizen living two or three miles east of Brunswick, was killed the previous evening about 5 o'clock by his father-in-law, Lewis Barringer, at the latter's residence about six miles northeast of town.
Warren, who had been in the habit of whipping his wife, and had several times been arrested for the offense, and as often been forgiven by his wife, who had gone home to him to receive the same treatment, came into town Tuesday evening and for the third time swore out a warrant for his arrest. The warrant was served Wednesday morning by constable Cord, and Warren was brought before Justice George W. Cunningham, who released him upon a $200 bond to appear for trial on May 27th. On his return home Warren found his children had been taken away in his absence, and supposing they had been taken by their mother to the home of her father, he armed himself and went there with the determination of taking them away. He was met at the door by Mr. Barringer, a man about 65 years of age, who warned him to keep away, but Warren persisted on entering the house, drew his revolver and attempted to do so, Mr. Barringer after warning him several times drew a pistol and shot Warren, killing him instantly. He then came in and surrendered himself to an officer and was released to go home until he was wanted.
A coronor's jury was empaneled on Thursday and a verdict of justifiable homicide was rendered.
Warren was a man of a very vicious nature and was feared by his neighbors who had but little to do with him. He was between 45 and 50 years of age and has quite a family of children, some of whom are grown and married. He owned a good farm and was an industrious thrifty farmer. He also carried a $2,000 policy on his life in the Modern Woodmen Lodge.
Mr. Barringer is a quiet good citizen, esteemed by all, and was never known to have a difficulty with any one before this, which appears to have been absolutely unavoidable.
