Alexandria Gazette, Alexandria, D.C. 8 Mar 1909 Shoots Father-in-law Denied the privilege of seeing his wife and child, from whom he has been separated, Lee Long shot his father-in-law yesterday afternoon at Selbyville, Del., and was shot in the head by Hudson in his own defense. Hudson was rushed to the Jefferson Hospital, in Philadelphia, in the hope of saving his life while Long was conducted to Georgetown and placed in county jail. Long has been separated from his wife for several months and has made a number of attempts to see her at the home of her father, Constable Elisha Hudson. yesterday afternoon he was walking by the Hudson home, when his two-year-old boy came out and spoke to him. The father picked the child up, when Hudson appeared and ordered him to leave. Long at once became enraged and alleges that Hudson started to get his gun when he fired two shots first, hitting Hudson both times in the back. Hudson was still able to reach his gun and fired in return, the load going wide, but a few of the shot struck Long in the head and neck. There has been ill-feeling between the two men for some time, as Long was about to bring a suit against his wife for a divorce on alleged misconduct. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025007/1909-03-08/ed-1/seq- 1/;words=Hudson The Frederick Post, Frederick, MD, 23 April 1923 Hammer Used to Kill Selbyville Resident - Had Received $1000.
