MURDERED AND ROBBED.
A Young Tennesseean's Terrible
Crime In Texas.
From the Union and American, April 81


From the Union ami American, April 81
Recent adyices from Texas give the
details of terrible crime committed in
that State by a young Tennesseean.
Among the passengers on the stage
running between Fort Worth and Jacks
boro, a few days ago, were Charles Gen
try, son of the late Hon. Meredith P.
GENTRY, and wealthy Missourian named
Shire. Gentry evinced considerable
anxiety to establish intimate relations
with Shire, but his advances were
IN every instance repulsed. By
sudden change of tactics Gentry
attempted to bring about an" alter
cation, bat failed also in this, as the
other party seemed determined to avoid
trouble. Finally an insulting epithet
and blow IN the mouth brought the
Mlssourlan to his feet with the remark
that if Gentry was spelling for fight he
could step out on the road. The driver
was ordered to stop and the two dronned
behind the stage. A shot was heard and
the team dashed off at full speed. One
of the passengers looked back and saw
Gentry, pistol in hand, bending over
Shire, who was stretched upon his back
in the road When the team had run
about half mile, the passenger drew
bead on the driver and threatened
to shoot him through the head 5nless he
turned and went back to Shire's assis-
lance. When they reached Shire he was
breathing his last. An ugly hole in his
temple told how the deed Of blood had
been done. His pocketbook, which was
known to have contained $500 in cur
rency, and his traveling-satchel were
not to be found. Gentry had fed, after
having robbed the person of his victim.
Though pursuit was made soon after
ward, the young murderer succeeded in
escaping into Mexico.
Gentry was born and reared in this
county, on Stones river, about nine
miles from Nashville He went to Texas
about year and halt ago, and had
been leading a wild, desperate life.
A statement similar to that given
above, was made to the Dallas, Texas,
Commercial, by the passenger who wit
messed the tragedy. He expresses the
opinion that Gentry knew Shire had a
large sum of money about him, and that
the double crime was planned before the
stage left Fort Worth, and that the driver
was an accompliee.

States OF $3.50, 900. These men had been

the order being served between the prison

this event 1t was discovered that detsiners
had been lodged against them by the
