Davis’ Fearful Mistake

Thought His Wife was a Burglar and Shot Her Dead

Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 1 – J.R. Davis killed his wife by mistake.  Davis had been 
troubled with burglars and kept his gun loaded the last few days, waiting to 
catch one of them.  Sunday night his wife walked out in the yard and without 
giving him warning started back into the house.

Davis saw her through the window and poking the doublebarreled shotgun through 
discharged a load of nine buckshot in her back.  She screamed and he then 
discovered that it was his wife.

She died Monday morning, fully exonerating her husband.
