BELLE BOYD's PISTOL.
The Famous Confederate Spy Sends a
Bullet to It's Mark


A highly sensational shooting affray oe-
CURED here late last Thursday night, says
Dallas, Texas, special, in which Mrs.
f. VI. Hammond, formerly known as
''Belle Boyd" the famous Confederate
spy, was the central figure. In 1864 Mrs.
Hammond, then Belle BOYD, married in
England an officer Of the United States
Navy. 4 daughter who was named Ma
ria was born to them, and is now about Is
years Of age. She is an attractive and
sprlghtly girl. A short time since her
mother discovered that her daughter had
been betrayed, and at once began inquiry
as 10 the author Of the trouble.
Thursday night, by invitation, the
young man, James Collier, whom she sus-
pected, called at the house. Mrs. Ham
DOnd, in a vehement manner, charged
him with her daughters ruin, which he
denied. She insisted upon his making in
slant TeparatiOn by marrying the girl.
which he declined to do, whereupon she
drew pistol and fired at him. The first
shot missed, but the second took effect in
MS left arm, below the elbow. He at
once grappled with her and forced the
pistol from her, and left the house. She
recovered the weapon and followed him,
firing several Intellectual shots.
Mrs. Hammond states that her daugh-
ter was betrayed by the young man under
a promise Of marriage. she sent word on
Wednesday to him that she wanted an in
tcrview with him. He called that night,
but the Hammond family had retired. He
went again last night and had an inter-
view.
THE GIRLS ENTREATIEs.
The daughter begged him to marry her,
or at least to provide her with money so
that she could leave the city and hide her
shame. He said he would not marry her
or give her money, and would have moth
ing to do with her.
1t was at this juncture that Mrs. Ham
mOnd drew the pistol and commenced
shooting. Mrs. Hammond claims that
her daughter was engaged to Collier, and
wore his ring. On the other hand, Collier
denies the engagement story, and claims
that he is entirely innocent of wrong
doing in the matter. Collier is a Young
man who stands high in business and
social circles. Maria Hammond is belle
in her home. Mrs. Hammond, the chief
actor in the affair, is a well-knOwn char
acter in the South, and, indeed, through
out the country.
BELLE BOYD'S CAREER.
In 1864, as above stated. she married a
Federal naval officer. he died in 1868,
and shortly afterwards she married
F. NJ. Hammond, a Massachusetts
man. After living with him
for several years il was discovered
that he had a wife living, from whom he
had not been divorced. She then sepa-
rated from Hammond until the divorce
was procured, and then remarked him.
A short time since Hammond brought
suit for divorce from her for the most
serious of causes, but it is understood he
has since become recOnclled to her. She
has been living in Dallas for some three
years, and has been a conspicuous char
acter, periodically stirring up the town
with something sensational.
