Father - Son Duel Fatal
J. Philip Wintz Shot to Death

An exchange of pistol shots, six in all, from weapons in the hands of a 70-year-old father and his 37-year-old son at a house in Lick Branch shortly after 9 o'clock Friday night left the father mortally wounded and sent the son to the hospital with three bullet wounds on his body.

Detective Lieut. Edgar C. Bourne reported Saturday that a murder charge had been preferred against Harold E. Wintz, the son, operator of a grocery store in Lick Branch, for the slaying of his father, J. Philip Wintz.

Two bullets from the son's gun, a .32 caliber pistol, struck the father in his chest and arm as he sat in a easy chair on the front porch of his home located near the mouth of Lick Branch hollow. The son was struck by three bullets from the father's gun, also a .32 caliber pistol, in the wrist, leg and abdomen. At the Charleston General hospital, the son's condition was not considered as critical.

Lieut. Bourne reported that the son did not know that he had killed his father until early Saturday at the hospital. "I had talked to Wintz for a while," the lieutenant said, "and he told me he wanted his father arrested and held for a while, I told him then that his father was dead. He went all to pieces and became hysterical. We left him and preferred the murder charge later."

The Wintz family, according to Lieut. Bourne, is one of the older families of the city, Mr. Wintz residing all his life at Lick Branch. The police had completed their investigation Saturday and Bourne had reported that the last two or three years, there had been "hard feelings" between the father and son over property owned by the family in Lick Branch.

According to the Lieutenant, the older Wintz and his sister, deceased, owned considerable property in the area which eight or ten houses are located, all of which are rented. The father, son and son's wife lived in the old Wintz homestead near the mouth of the hollow. When the sister died several years ago, according to Bourne, she left her half interest in all of the property to the son and left $100 to her brother. "That," said Bourne, "caused the ill feeling."

The ill feeling reached a climax Friday afternoon, Bourne reported, when the elder Wintz went to the store, not far from the home place, and asked for 38 cents. This the son refused, Bourne said.

An argument followed in which the collection of rents from the property was brought up and as the elder Wintz left the store he informed the son to stay away from the house.

About 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, according to Bourne, the son went to the house and was stopped by the father on the front porch. A scuffle followed in which the son took a knife away from his father. The father then swung at the son with his cane but missed him and struck his daughter-in-law.

Still later in the evening according to Bourne, the son had locked up the store and started up on the porch of the home. The father, sitting in his chair in the shadows, opened fire with his pistol, Bourne said. The son pulled a pistol from his pocket and returned the fire.

Two state troopers who had been given the assault warrant to serve, arrived at the Wintz home a few minutes after the shooting occurred and notified city police.
