EFFECT OF kEARNEY's SPEECH a Netr
England Manufacturer Shot by one Of HIS
Men.-Captain Peter Simpson, jr, of Rhodes
\ Simpson, of N1illbury one of the largest and
best known manufacturers in the Blackstone
Valley, was probably fatally shot yesterday
morning by John Mullins, boss spinner in
the mill, the theory being that Mullins had
been discharged for drunkenness the day be-
fore, and tried to kill Simpson for revenge.
Mullins who had been arrested and taken to
Worcester, denies that he was discharged
however, and discaimS any remembrance of
the affair, and if he was discharged, he and
Mr.. Simpson alone know it. AL that is GER
tain about the shooting is that Mullins was
seen coming out of the front door OF the mill
office and MIR. Simpson Immediately staggered
out of the back door and fell in the mill yard
A pistol ball was found to have SSedthrough
his body, Just escaping the heart and lodging
In his back, and it is thought that he must
have been seated when fired on. But little
hope is entertained of his recovery. 1t is Ger
tain that Mullins had premeditated murder
as he drove to Worcester early in the morn
ing and bought revolver and cartridges, ana
most of the cartridges were found under the
carriage seat after the shooting. Mullins
wife says that Tuesday night Mu Tins sudden
y flew into fury alter reading one of Dennis
kearney'S speeches and turned her out of
doors with threats OF murder, and it is not i'm
probable that in his drunken rage, he may
have planned murder to right the supposed
wrongs OF the Springfield Pc
