Article Text: St. Paris, O., May 15.--This morning Morris WELCH a citizen of this place, began a quarrel with his wife concerning the sale of liquor, in which WELCH had recently engaged against her wishes. WELCH struck his wife several times when a neighboring saloon-keeper, named Pat GRAHAM, interfered. During the trouble which ensued WELCH shot at GRAHAM three times with a revolver, one taking effect in the groin. He then retreated to his own door, and as he entered he took up a carbine which was near and deliberately shot at GRAHAM, who was retreating to his house, the ball passing clear through his right leg, above the knee, and striking the sidewalk, narrowly missing Mrs. GRAHAM, who was standing near. GRAHAM lived but two hours after the shooting, when death put an end to his misery. WELCH was at once taken into custody. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
