Wilmington, July 12—Mrs. A. Raymond Reinhart Jr. of Charlotte and her father-in-law, A. Raymond Reinhart are dead following a shooting at a local beach resort this afternoon.
Mrs. Reinhart was shot by her father-in-law as she stood at the phone in a beach cottage and the man was shot down by a policeman as he turned the weapon on his own wife.
Raymond Reinhart Jr., husband of the slain woman, was injured 10 minutes later when the automobile in which he was racing to the side of his wife at the city hospital turned turtle near Winter Park.
According to neighbors of the Reinharts, the shooting followed a family quarrel which reached its climax when the elder Reinhart heard that his son and wife had one from the beach to Wilmington to secure a peace warrant. This is said to have enraged Mr. Reinhart, who began making threats of killing everyone of his household. His daughter-in-law, frightened by his threats, went to a phone and called for assistance. As she left the phone three bullets from a pistol said to be in the hands of Reinhart Sr. crashed into her body.
At his moment Policeman Pat Newton rushed into the cottage and fired two shots at Mr. Reinhart as the latter was attempting to shoot Mrs. Reinhart Sr. Mr. Reinhart fell 10 feet from his daughter-in-law who was lying on her back in the hall in a dying condition.
