THE WAGES OF SIN.
Frank Certify Waylaid and Murdered in Cold
Blood at Hudson, Wis.,, Sunday Morning.


Blood at Hudson, Wis, Sunday Morning.
Frank Gerrity, twenty six years cd, a peddler
in tin ware left st. Paul on Saturday morning
and went to Hudson, Wis, and at night was
found at den of debauchery, called the
'sPinhook Point q covey of dens of pollu-
ton north of the city. AS has been their
wont for mouths past a gang of young bloods
had congregated at the different houses there
for night of debauchery. At Mother
youthful companions from Hudson. Serving
at the den was one Theodore Rounds, as caller
at the dances, Frank Shay, bar assistant, and
Lizzie Wilson, one of the inmates During the
progress of the dance it seems Gerrity got very
solidly into the good graces Of Miss Wilson,
some cause known only to themselves as yet,
the two concluded to leave the Cooper den for
that Of Cute" Martin, some forty or fifty rods
distant This greatly displeased the madam
and kindled the ire of Rounds to an nnbearable
extent The twain had not proceeded far when
Rounds seized double barrelled shotgun
from behind the bar and, in company with
Shay, took cut across the intervening
ground to cut them off. Secret
ing themselves behind some brushes,
Rounds rose and fired, according to the Wilson
sound of the gun Gerrity uttered terrible
scream, when Rounds rushed out and fred
again, hitting him full in the face. His victim
fell to the ground Instantly, but attempted to
rise again, when Shay. coolly remarked to his
pal, "oh you haven't half done your work, he
him all right" was the hellish response
to this remark, as both started
back for the house. Gerrity, in his dying
spasms, told the girl to hurry to town and tell
Mr.. Riley, his uncle, that he had been murder
the scene, and taking in the situation, rushed
to the city for help, leaving the poor fellow up
on the ground alone, weltering in his own blood.
A lively team was procuredas soon as possible,
and the sheriff notified of the tragedy. When
they reached the ground, Gerrity was just
alive, but breathed his last as soon as they got
his body into DR.. Hoyt's Office, where they had
taken him for treatment.
Both Rounds and Shay were found at Mother
Coopcr's and arrested Theodore Rounds came
to Hudson about two weeks ago from Cbippe-
wa or Black River Falls, where it is said he lei
= hard, reckless life He is about thirty years
of age, and bears the facial marks of q low,
british nature.
