SHOCKING TRAGEDY NEAR
HOUNSLOW.
The village of Whitton, lying midway between
Hounslow and Twickenham, was on Monday morning
the scene of • most shocking tragedy. Besides the
military college of mimic known as Kneller Hall, there
is but • handful of houses in the village, and these
principally belong to a Jewish family of the name of
Kyezor, the principal member being Mr. Louis
Kyezot, aged 5, whom, from his extremely sociable
habits, and the prominent part which be took in parish
matters was known by the cognomen of "The King of
Whitton." Mr. Kyezor warn the representative of his
parish on the Twickenham local board, and also the
quarter-master serjeant of the 16th S.W.M. Volun-
teers. Near his residence—viz., at 13, Kyezor-place,
resided an old gentleman named Thomas H. Green,
aged 82, who had been engaged in Somerset
House as stamper for fifty years, but had since
been living retired at Whitton. This old gen-
tleman warn • tenant under Mr. Kyesor, and it
appears that for the past few weeks there has
been some little difference between them as to an
alleged Diligence said to have been caused by Green,
in consequence of which repeated complaints were
reaching Mr. Kyezor from neighbouring tenants. The
consequence was that Mr. Kyezor knowing Green to
be an irritable old man, wrote to some of his relations,
de-iring them to persuade him to effect the improve-
ment desired. Green appears to have heard of this
letter, but instead of attending to the requests con-
tained in it, he only became more spiteful towards Mr.
Kyezor. The latter, therefore, threatened Green that
he would summon him before the magistrates, and, it.
is said, took the necessary steps to do so. Green, that
same night, was observed by his wife cleaning up an
old Jack pistol, mid, in testing it, the tngger snapped.
He then took down a second and similar weapon, and
and this appears to have met his Mess, as he loaded it
with shot and put it away again. On Monday morn-
ing Green left his cottage soon after eight o'clock
and posted himself by the side of the road, about
a dozen yards from Mr. Ks ezor's residence, and when
the old gentleman came out at his usual time. 8 15,
Green levelled the pist ii at him, and shot hini in
the abdomen. Kyezor dropped to the ground as if
dead. Green, with the smoking pistol in his haul, I
cried, " Cite done for him' ran into his own house, be.
fore two road men, who were looking on, could stop
him, and, taking a second loaded pistol, shot himself
through the heart and fell dead. Mr. Kyezor was
immediately taken up, and it was found that life was
Dot quite extinct Information of the sad affair was
at once forwarded to the police, and Inspector 'Carling
was quickly on the spot, and despatched inmsengers for
the nei4hbouring doctors. Dr. Whitmarsh, of Houn-
slow, was the first to attend. On examining Mr.
Kevsor, he gave no hopesof Ms recovery. Ile kept
calling in pitiable accents to his Maker to release him
from further pain.
