tridge got fastened in the gun.
Tlie daughter, in trying to ex
tract it, let the cartridge explode,
(footing her mother through the |
heart and killing her instantly.

NO PARDON FOR TOM TAYLOR
A petition signed by about 2,-1
500 citizens of Howard and Sevier
counties for the pardon of I oni
Taylor was rejected by Governor
Davison the ground that I a.\ lor
had not been sufficiently punished.
Taylor has been in the ileniten
tiary only a short time on a sen
tence of seven years for killing a
man named Forshee in Lockes
<burg. He was convicted in an
adjoining county on a change of
venue
The tragedy stirred southwest
ern AYkansas greatly, both slayer j
and slain having been well known
in that section, and the trial ot
Taylor having attracted unusual
attention.

WHITE MAN ARRESTED
FOR MURDERING GIRL
C. n. Massey Accused of Ending
Life of Dora Williams.
|
Crime Was Committed in Phillips
County Last Summer and Led
to Arrest of Massey.
Helena, Nov. 11.—D. \\\ King,
! a specially deputized officer, arriv
ed in the city today bringing with
him C. M. Massey, who is wanted
i for criminal assault and the murd
er of a young white girl named
1 Dora Williams. Massey was cap
tiired in Craighead county, near
Lake City. Word had been re !
eeived here that he was in Jackson
count.x, but he was found to have
gone from there to Lake City, in
Craighead county. On reaching
that place Mr. King found that
Massey was not there, but traced

Francis river into a wild country,
where lie was finally located with
the assistance of a local constable.
The- crime for which Massey
was wanted was a terrible one.
The man, with his wife, lived on a
place near Coffee, a little town
some twenty miles west of here
Some time last August (the exact
date seems to be unknown even to
the witnesses in the case), while
Massey’s wife was awa,\ from
home, he hired this girl, who was
only about fourteen ,\ear> old, to
keep house for him until Mrs. j
Massey returned, (me morning j
the girl was found dead. An in-,
(jtiest was held by dimtice of the I
Peace Robert Haney, anil the girl
was found to have come to her
death from the effects of mor
phine. but no blame was attached
to any one for the death
Nevertheless, many of the j
neighbors suspected Massey of
having given the girl morphine,
and that she died irmn the treat
ment she had received. Massey
became frightened, and, it is alleg
ed, stealing a horse belonging to
I I d Williams, he left the country.
At tlie October session of the
i grand jury he was indicted for
criminal assault and murder in the
first degree, and since that time
Sheriff Kitchens has been hot on
his trail.

()no of the boldest robberies on
record in Arkansas occurred tit

They also took all the pistols and
guns they could find. Then the
pair backed out of the door with
threats to shoot the first man who
stuck his head out, mounted two
mules which were hitched to the
rack, belonging to parties in tl‘e
saloon, and rode off in the dark
ness. As yet they.have not been
heard of.
