TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
LONDONDERRY, N. H.. Feb. ga fearful
tragedy was enacted near this place, yesterday,
in which Mrs. Sarah, aged 80, wife Of L. V.
Dillingham;, a respectable farmer, was the VIC
tim. and a nephew of the husband, Frank Dill
bingham, aged about 90, was the criminal.
Frank went to live with his uncle last April,
and yesterday Mr. Dillingham; went to Man
chester, leaving his nephew at work near the
house. During the afternoon, William Wal
lace, brother of Mrs. Dillingham;, called to see
his sister and found the doors locked, and the
curtains drawn down. Supposlng her to be
asleep he returned home. Soon after Frank
called at the country store OF DAVID Ddrns,
only about forty rods from the place OF the
tragedy and called for Frank Burns, who came
to the door, and yonng Dillingham; said: Il
have shot Amt Sarah" He WAS Immediately
taken into custody by persons i'll and about
the store, who took him to Dillingham's house.
Upon entering fearful spectacle met their
gaze. Mrs Dillingham; was lying on the floor
in the front room her back with severa.
garmets thrown over her head and body. Upon
examination they found rope drawn tightly
around her neck. Her clothing was disarranged
and her face purple from severe choking pro-
duced by the rope. A bullet wound was dis
covered at the base of the skull, bullet haV-
ing passed through the brain. Physiciaps were
Immediately summoned, who pronounced the
case fatal, and death is momentarily expected.
Frank says he was cleaning revolver, which
was cciientally discharged but docs not at
tempt to account for the rope around his
aunt's neck or the disorJered condition of her
unierclothing. He says he went into the
woods back of the house and tried to
shuot himself with the same revolver but
failed through lack Of courage or some other
cause, though an ugly bullet hole was made In
his forehead, the bullet penetrating the skull.
Mrs. billing ham, victim of the terrible affair,
is comely, modest appearing young woman,
and very highly respected. The conclusion
can hardly be avoided that the unfortunate
woman was ravished either before or after the
shooting and choking, and that her assailant
thea seeing the terrible crime he committed
hastily fastened The door, pulled down the cur
tains and returned to the forest in rear of the
house with the intention of ending his miser-
able existence. His wound is not thought to
be fatal.
