shocking Death of 4 Young Woman.
Paris (Ky.) special to the Cincinnati Com
niercial: Miss Annie Morrow, a young lady
about twenty-one years of age, daughter of
Colonel Robert Morrow, was accidentally shot
in the heart and killed Saturday morning
She was arranging the furniture in her
brothers room, and, it Is supposed, caught
the gun by the muzzle, and struck the ham
mer against the side of the door, causing the
few seconds after being shot. No accident
in Paris has ever created such profound
regret. Miss Morrow was highly intelli-
gent, sprightly young lady, with a large cir
Gle of friends and acquaintance.
A Fatal stab. with some Question How
H
New York World: A little after midnight
on Saturday Sergeant Brennan, of the sixth
precinct, Brooklyn, was sent to investigate
the reported suicide of a man at No. SO South
Sixth street. He found three surgeons at
tending John D. Wright, who was suffering
from a cut more than six inches long IN the
abdomen. The injured man and all the
Wright family. father, mother and two broth
ers, said that Wright had cut himself. The
statements did not exactly tally, however,
and the sergeant quietly questioned each
member of the family separately, and made
up his mind that the man had been stabbed
by one of the family. While he was ques-
tIoning the mother in the kitchen, which ad-
Joins the sitting-room where the Injured man
was lying, Wright called out, at Is none Of
his business. did it myself" His brother
Walter seemed nervous and confused and
when the sergeant suggested that it was
nearly impossible for man to cut himself in
that way, Walter replied, 81 don't carry a
knife, and had no reason to cut him" Walter
was arrested, and the dying man told Coro-
ner Nolan and jury yesterday that he had,
during trivial dispute, run against the knife
which Walter was holding. The wounded
man is an ex-marine, and was partly drunk
when he was stabbed. The surgeon declares
that the wound could not have been inflicted
as Wright says, since great force would be
necessary to make sdch cut.
