Charlotte, Feb. 16—Joseph E. McDonough, an engraver of Greensboro, formerly of Fort Wayne, is dead, and Isadore Watson, traveling salesman of Greensboro, is in jail on the charge of murder as a result of dining Watson’s wife in a room of a local hotel with McDonough.
The shooting occurred in a room occupied by McDonough and Watson’s wife and in the presence of a member of the Charlotte police force and the manager of the hotel. Watson fired over the head of the officers in the room after they accompanied him to identify the couple after a warrant charging a statutory offense. The man hisself swore out the warrant after he found the woman and man at a local hotel.
