Death Of Chas. d. ellis.

AN UNPROVOKED MURDER-A NE
WARD OF 900 OFFERED FOR THE
ARREST OF THE MURDERER.
Mr.. Chas. b. Gillis, eldest son of
Judge james L. Gilis, and once res
ident OF Ridgway. was murdered at
the door of his residence, Mt. Pleasant
Iowa, on the evening of Feb. 23, 1881.
The following account Of the deplora-
BILE tragedy we take from the Mt. Pleas.
ant Journal:
A short time after eight o'clock last
night the citizens of Mount Pleasant
were startled at report that flew over
the city that Charles Gilis had been
shot dead in his own house. The re-
port could hardly be believed that
such deed could have been commit
ted in our quiet city, that an old citi-
zen was murdered in cold blood, and
one that did not have known enemy.
In very short time hundreds of en-
cited citizens had gathered at the resi-
dence of the murdered man, on West
Monroe street, and found the report to
he only too true, 10y finding Mr.. Gillis
lying dead in the hallway where he
had been shot through the heart few
minutes before by an unknown assas-
sin. The only particulars we could
learn was that MIR. Giliis was setting
in the room with his father, J udge Gill
lis, the other members of the family
being in another part ofthe house. A
short time after eight o'clock a rap was
heard at the front door. Mr.. Gillis
stepped into the hall and to the front
door and opened it. At the same time
the door was opened his father heard II
noise in the hall and the murdered
man called for help, aud the report of
revolver was heard almost at the
same moment. Mr.. Gillis stepped
into the hall as quickly as possibly and
went to the door, but no one was to be
seen, but his son lay dead at his feet.
The alarm of murder was given and in
few minutes a number of the neigh.
bOrs, who had heard the report of the
revolver, were soon at the house to
learn what had happened, and
could hardly realize the fact that their
highly respected neighbor had been
murdered.
Charles B. Gillis WAS about ffty-five
years of age, and has been one of our
most highly respected citizens for the
past twenty or twenty-five years, and
did not have II known enemy in the
city or county as any one knew Of
The murder is clouded in mystery
that it is hoped may be brought to
light and the perpetrator receive the
fullest penalty of the law,
Physicians made sn examination
and found that the ball had entered
the left side and passed in an upward
direction, cutting the aorta close to the
heart, passing through the right lung
and lodged under the right shoulder
blade, producing instant death.
Coroner Leedham was called and
empannelled the following jury: DR..
Mcclure, DR.. G. F. Marsh, J. A. Hig
gins.
The City and County will each offer
to day, reward of $500, making $1,000
for the capture of the murderer.
At the present writing the jury have
not given verdict.
