Murder at Felton Farm Shocks Kent County
A wealthy Felton area farmer and wife were asleep when a farmhand, employed by the Hammonds, shot the wife but not the husband. The man was captured hours later in the attic, wounded himself, and is expected to recover. Sheriff Cook spirited him out of the county jail to Dover amid angry crowds. Coroner and jury discussed the case as Braddard, a former employee, confessed a motive rooted in frequent arguments with the husband.
