The Gore Murder,

The Coroner's jury investigating the
triple murder at Gore, Hooking county.
rendered verdict Yesterday to the effect
that the deceased came to their death at
the hands of William Terrell and Others,
Terrell and King made no statements be-
fore the jury, and the evidence brought out
adds but little information to the statements
| already published The verdict of the
jury is in accord with the general public
belief that Terrell is the chief criminal
The preliminary examination of the pris-
oners commenced yesterday, but up to this
time no new facts of importance have been
developed.
The following interesting items are clip
ped from the Hooking Sentinel of yester-
day
Thus far, leaving out Terrels statement.
no evidence of any importance has been
secured. An air of profound mystery
broods over the dark tragedy, and the
wisest are at loss to know how to unravel
the horrid stages of this bloody crime.
The latest theory o: the murder is that
when the girl was coming home from Gore
she was attacked in the woods. Freed
from the villains, she fled home and told
the tale of outrage, and Welden started to
find the prisoners, or go to Gore to make
complaint. While in the woods be was
met by the villains and killed. Then il
became necessary to kill the girl and her
mother to cover up the crime
| Another theory ia that Welden was way
laid in the woods and killed for money.
Whilst engaged in killing him, the mnr-
derers were discovered by the girl. She
was pursued to the house, The mother was
first killed, the girl then ravished, and
when freed, fled from the house and as she
passed out the door, struck with the AK.
John Weldon was Il native of Perry
county. He returned to the Assessor mon
eys to the amount OF 5000. His property
is worth $4,000 or s25 900
Mrs. McClurg owned fire farm worth
$4,000 or 81 900, and moneys to the amount
Of about 81 ,0O0
The question as to whether or not the
girl, Nancy H.te, was killed last, is an i'm
portant one, in settling the inheritance. II
Weldon was first killed his sister inherit,
ed from him; then if her death followed
Nancy inherited from her mother, and
Nancy's relatives; through her father, the
ltites, will inherit all the property.
Judge Ackers has appointed John Nutter
and William Williams, administrators OF
the estates.
Welden was of Scotch-Iri descent, and
leaned toward Presbyterianism. Mrs. Nc
