Macon, Ga., January 20.-When R. E. Herrington, a foreman in the Central of Georgia Railroad shops, entered his home at No. 414 Jackson street at 7:50 o'clock last night and found his wife and a young boarder, Charles Howze, who is said to be the woman's uncle, engaged in washing and drying the dishes, he opened fire and killed both. . . .
There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, save the three little children of the Herringtons-Oliver, Louise and Nettie May, the oldest being about 5 years of age.
Mrs. Herrington's brother, J. R. Shinholser, was in the house at the the time of the shooting, but he said last night he was asleep and did not know of the tragedy until Herrington awoke him and told him what he had done.

C. Shinholser, of Hosford, Fla., and he said that there is a sister, Miss Lily Shinholser, residing at Valdosta. An uncle, he said, W J. Shinholser, resides in Macon.
