MAN KILLS DAUGHTER AND COMMITS SUICIDE  
Mr. George Ethridge, age 50, late Saturday night, Sept.
17, shot and killed his daughter, Agnes, age 20, through
the back with a shotgun, killing her almost immediately
and then placed the end of the gun barrel in his mouth
and shot himself, death resulting instantly. 

Mrs. Ethridge was a witness to the tragedy which she was
unable to prevent. It was evident that he had planned to
kill his wife also, as he had cut three shells for use in
his single-barreled shotgun, it was  stated, but his wife
escaped. 

A melancholic condition resulting in bad health was
ascribed as the cause of this tragedy.

Miss Agnes Ethridge, age 21, died suddenly at her
residence in Silvertown late Saturday evening,
September 17th, 1932.  She leaves her mother, Mrs.
George W. Ethridge of Silvertown and four brothers,
