Crime

Chas. M Wade of Westville, was shot and instantly killed by his son [Willis] Clyde Wade in a family row last Saturday night. From the best information we can get, Charles was beating his wife when the boy, Clyde was called by his younger brothers and a sister. He shot his father twice with pistol. Young Wade then left and went to Ponce de Leon but later turned himself in at Westville and was jailed in Bonifay.
