dition-Full Story Of Mrs.
Baynton's Death.
Baynton, the murderer, was removed
yesterday afternoon, under stronf
guard. from the city prison to the count,
jail, the latter being considered safel
than the former Ia case Of mob offering
violence. As will be seen from the re-
port Of the inquest. the HERALp's yer
sion Of the tragedy, given yesterday wal
correct ID all particulars. but 1t has de
veloped the fact that Baynton is one o.
the most atrocious and bloodthirsiy vii
lAins that ever dis6gured the face Of The
earth. He was not intoxicated at the
time OF the horrible deed, neither was
he insane. He was merely blinded by
uncomfortable passion, because his wife,
whom he bad forced to submit to his
cruel abuse for long time, had revolt
cd, after he had kicksd her like dog,
and refused to return home to be again
abused. His hatred extel ded not only
to his wife, but also to the people wha
harbored her and wanted to shield
her from his brutality, and i
was 40 inveternte that 1t even include
the children Of these fersous. He de-
libcrately fetched bis pistol and deliber-
ately shot his wife and Nettie X PIP, aud

bis wounds in less than an hour. At
first be tri. to explain that the crime
he had committed was an accident; that
he had wanted to shoot Newfoundland
dog and not the people whum be killed
and manned. But the evidence proves
that 1t was not 90. HIS fight was not
with the dog It was with the woman
be had but shortly before kicked twic-,
and with her human protectors. When
he found yesterday that his talk would
ruin him, he became silent and sulen
and would no longer be interviewed.
Nettis Kipp, the young and beautiful
wounded girl, is lying at her parents
home in very precarious condition
Her Vitality and strength are extra
ordinary, considering the character 0
her wounds. II was reported yesterday
that she was shot but once and that the
wound near the navel was the one
where tho bullet entered aud the wound
near the hip the place Of its exit. A
bullet was found on the carpet in the
room where the shooting occurred,
which IL believed 70 be the one which
wounded her. II such Is the case, her
chances Of recovery are much greater
than they otherwise would have been,
and il peritonitis does not set in tonight
OF. tomorrow morning, she may be
saved.
The little six-year old son Of Baynton,
whose absence inapired such fears on
Friday night that his father had also

house Of an English lady. who harbored
