rsneclnl telecram 70 the pIspaieh.

OSASCocx. VA, via TAsLEY. Va, Fcbru-
arv 9S.--Intelligence hss reached here OF a
shocking tragedy that occurred last night In
the Back>creek neighborhood, about twelve
miles north OF this place, where Cornelius
Anuis, a well-known young man, was shot
and mortsly wounded by some unknown
nersons. Annis WAS at the house OF mrs.
Elizabeth Taylor, who has recently separated
from her husband, and was IN the act
OF leaving the house when he was
SHOT. IL was about 0 O'Clock, aud
Aunis and Mrs. Taylor were the only
persons IN the mouse at the time. TheY had
been sitting before The hre talking, and when
Anuis rose to leave some one on the outside
shot him through the window. striking bin
in the LEFT arm and side, iudictiDg frightiul
wounds, from which the doctors say he can
not recover. Twenty three large buckshot
struck him, tearing his arm TO pieces and
lacerating his side iearfClly. Two OF The
shot penetrated the inner lining OF his
stomach. His watch was shattered 10
pieces. Annis was Standing between two
windows when he was shot ana
the glass OF both windows was broken. Mrs.
TAYLOR gave the alarm TO her neighbors. Or.
Fletcher Drummoud, OF the peighOorlng
village OF LecmOnt, being summoned, ampu-
tated Anuis's arm and dressed his wounds.
No one has vet beeu arrested, but suspicion
polnts % Mrs TaylOr's husband, JOhn VIII
liam TAYLOR. as the pcrpetrstor OF the deed.
II is known that Taylor and hrs wife had
lived disazreeably for some time past, and II
is alleged that the trouble between them was
due to the fact that Cornelius Annis
was unduly' intimate with Mrs. Iaylor.
Last December Taylor and his wife signed a
deed OF separation. by which they agreed 10
live apart from each other. Taylor gave MS
wife 800 in money snd some personal pro-
perty, in consideration OF which she agreed
TO reiuquish all claims on his estate. Taylor
cOvenanted in this deed to allow biz wife 10
live where she plea.ed and to conduct any
bu,ineSs she might like. He also agreed
never 10 molest. visit, or speak TO her, or
enter any house where she might be. Taylor
subsequentlv consulted lawyer at Acco-
mack Courthouse in regard TO getting di-
yorce from his wife on The ground OF her
criminal intimacy with Annis.
No noise was heard around the house at
the time Of the shooting aud no footprints
were found to give clue 10 the perpetrator
OF the deed.
Mrs. Taylor il more than forty years old,
while Anns is about twenty-five. aud I'M
married. Mrs. Tay'Orsays that her husband
has been recently mixing overtures to her
with q view 10 A reconciliation, but that she
has siways repulsed him.
The affair has created much excitement
and comment in the peIghborbood, and steps
will doubtless be taken TO discover the man
who did the shooting.
