Dorchester Farmer Killed By His Wife.
Sherman, March 17--Charles Hefley, about 45 years old, Dorchester farmer and member of a prominent family in that community, was shot and killed at his home a quarter of a mile southwest of Dorchester Saturday morning. Justice of the Peace J N Phillips, who held an inquest, rendered a decision in which it was found that Hefley came to his death by bullets  inflicted by his wife, Mrs Anna Hefley who is about 42 years old. Mrs Hefley has been ill and under the care of a physician for some time, was not brought to Sherman on account of the weather. Arrangements have been completed for holding her under a $5000. bond to await a preliminary hearing, it is said. The examining trial has been set for Saturday, March 20.
Officers called to the scene of the killing found the body, dressed in nightclothes, lying on the right side between two beds, used by Mrs Hefley and two of their children. Hefley occupied another room, it was said.
Mrs Hefley was hysterical and unable to discuss the affair.
Between two and three months ago Mr Hefley was arrested at his home by a deputy sheriff on a charge of drunkenness.
Mr. Hefley is survived by his widow and five daughters the youngest is 10 years old and by his father, G W Hefley, Dorchester.
