Article Description: Tried to Kill His Entire Family.
Article Text:
Columbia, S.C., Feb. 11.--A fearful tragedy was enacted in Newberry county Saturday
afternoon. James B. CLEARY, a farmer, seems to have determined to exterminate his
whole family. He first undertook to kill his daughter, 18 years old, by shooting her
with a pistol, but was thwarted in the attempt by neighbors, who were sent for to
protect the family. While all were present in the room he managed to get hold of a
small ax, and before anyone could interfere he gave his wife three severe blows on
the head, which will prove fatal. CLEARY has been drinking heavily for some years, and
possibly was crazed from drink.
