A Deplorable Sunday Tragedy At Macon

Roger McCall, an aged citizen of Macon, Ga., shot and almost instantly killed
his wife, who was lying in bed at the time of the shooting. It seems as if
McCall and his wife had some disagreement as to the renting of a room for the
night to some parties who had applied for that purpose. Mrs. McCall had agreed
to rent the room to the gentlemen; and it angered the aged husband, who was in
a drunken stupor, and he got his shotgun and fired the load of shot in the back
of his wife who was lying in bed. The wounded woman was rushed to the
hospital, but died without making any statement as to why her husband shot
her. McCall is 71 years old and is now confined in the Bibb County jail
awaiting the action of the Coroners inquest.

We are informed that the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McCall is Mrs. Irene
Mangham of Jacksonville, Fla., who is the wife of Mr. James Mangham, youngest
son of Mr. J.O. Mangham, at one time a prominent citizen of this county.
