“Wheeling, West Virginia, November 3 – Jealousy caused terrible tragedy at Georgetown, Ohio, three miles west of this city. All concerned in the affair were from Wheeling. Scott Linton1 shot Dot Gray, a woman of the town said to have been his wife, and William Metzger, in whose company she was.”
“With both lying at his feet he fired a bullet into his own brain and died almost instantly. The girl will probably recover, but Metzger will die.”
“Metzger and the girl went to the home of her parents Sunday night. Linton heard of it and followed them.”2
