Five Murdered at Hemford
Three Men and One Woman Shot to Death by Havelock Veinot Who Kills Himself
Drowsing peacefully in the beauty of the early sunny Sunday morning, the hamlet of Hemford, Lunenburg County, a few miles from New Germany, was shocked into realization that a tragedy of most ghastly and horrible proporitions was being enacted in its very midst. Nova Scotia has witnessed shocking events of homicide and self destruction before, but never in alll her history, since law and order have held sway, has the like of which was enacted here Sunday blackened her life. Three men and one woman have been delibertately and coldly murdered and the slayer has taken his own life.
From seven o'clock that morning until noon, scenes indescriable have both vitriol-bitten into the memory plats of those who beheld them. This murderer did not run amuck. He shot his own father in the most deliberate and calculating manner. Then he set forth and shot a man and his wife, which deed he followed up by killing another man, a near neighbour. Returning home, he finished his father with a bullet. Then he blew his own brains out.
The murdered are: William Veinot, the father of the murderer and suicide; Albert Ritcey, Adelia Ritcey, his wife, and Archibald Snyder. The man who murdered them and took his own life was Havelock Veinot, 45 years old, a bachelor, who lived with his parents. One victim is survived by a widow and thirteen children.
This terrible affair, it appears, was brought about in connection with property rights. The people of Hemford declare that Veinot was not crazy but was a man of hasty temper. "He did this terrible thing," one said, " in a way no demented man would have done it. He went about it like a man who had weighed it all up and had fully decided on the whole tragedy, including his own suicide." (The Weekly Monitor, Bridgetown September 22, 1920)
