He Puts Two Bullets In His Wife and Three In a Druggist.
Duncannon, Pa., Sept. 28.—This afternoon Dr. T. L. Johnston, one of the best known physicians in the county, called into his office Druggist George S. Henry, a prominent business man, and taking a large revolver from his pocket, deliberately fired three shots at him, two of which lodged in his shoulder and one in his stomach. He then walked into his hall, and meeting his wife, he shot her twice, once in the arm and once in the shoulder. He then walked up to his stable two blocks away, had his team hitched up, and drove down to his office, where he got his ledgers, and taking in a constable gave himself up, and started for New Bloomfield, the county seat ten miles away. Mrs. Johnston's wounds are not considered dangerous, but it is thought Henry cannot live.
