A Note From 1911 About A Broken Engagement

From the June 9, 1911 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

Gentry, W. Va.–Marion Adkins saw John Willis walking last night with Miss Louisa Berry, whom he was soon to marry, and thinking Miss Berry was his wife, whom he suspected of meeting another man, Adkins shot and instantly killed Willis, the shot almost tearing the victim’s head from his body. Miss Berry is in serious condition from the shock.”
