The Wilsons were among the most prominent people of the rural section of the county. Cir- cumstances pointed so strongly to Mrs. Wilson's guilt that she was ar- rested by Deputy Sheriffs Galloway and Osteen and placed in the county jail here. Wilson had been shot twice and a revolver, in the cham- bers of which were two empty car- tridges, was found in the house. Wilson and his wife spent Sunday at the home of Mrs. Wilson's father, Perry Wells, seven miles from Eure- ka. They started for their home during the evening, and shortly af- terwards neighbors heard the fatal shots. Ubnon going to ascertain the trouble, they found Wilson dead. The neighbors saw some one running into! the bushes, but could not identify the fleeing person. Wilson was shot twice, but the gun could not be found at the scene.
