Boston, June 23.-walter G. Shaw, a
shoemaker, living at 81 Home street,
Beverly, where his wife keeps a boarding
house, has had trouble with her because
she had not frowned upon an intimacy
between their 14-year-old daughter Sarah
Lizzie and one of the boarders.
Shaw finally left the house last week,
his wife declaring she had trouble enough
with him.
Last night, having filled up with liquors
he returned. Finding his wife and
daughter in the sitting room with some
of the boarders, he whipped out a .3S-cali-
bre revolver and began to fire

breast and one in the back, and a third
grazed his skull. The daughter was
shockingly wounded. Three bullets
ploughed across her scalp, and another,
entering her body just above the right
hip, passed downward and emerged at
the knee, being found in the stocking.
The surgeon afterward removed it.
The maniac for such he was by this
time, leaped upon the proSUfRte pody OF
his daughter and was beating her face
with the dubbed pistol, when the crowd
that had been attracted by the shooting
broke into the house and dragged him
off The girls recovery, like that Of
Morgan and Roberts, is doubtful.
Shaw attempted to escape, running
from the house and leaping into the deep
railroad cut near by. His pursuers were
close upon linn, and, in order to escape
them, he placed the pistol behind his
| right ear and put an end to his miserable
life, dying just as the pursuing party
came up. Mrs. Shaw ran from the room
when the shooting began and thus es-
capped his wrath. The daughter is popu'
| lar with schoolmates in the community.
