Another Wife Killer

James DEWITT, of Carter county, is under arrest for killing his wife some time since. They had separated and he had tried to get a divorce. The process of the courts was a little too slow for DEWITT and he concluded to become a widower by making way with his better half. James is now in jail and a mob is wanting to hang him for his crime. He got the divorce by murder, but the fellow will not be apt to ever marry again, that is, in this world.

Ms Woods,

I see that your posting was made app 5 years ago. Nevertheless, I'm hoping that you're at the same address and can share with me Mrs. DeWitt's maiden name. Thank you.
