BEGGED FOR HER LIFE.
Thrilling Death Of Hall, the
Moonshiner Chief.
SHOT BY HIS PARAMoURs HUSBAND

Between Gasps He Rolled Over and En-
treated His Slayer Not to Shoot His
wife, But to Empty the Revolver in
His tHail's) Body-Had Killed Many
Men.
LEXINGTON, Ky. July 9s.-Dick Hall,
the noted moonshiner chief. has been
killed by John W. Belcher on the banks
of the Elkhorn river, in one of the wild
est and most picturesque spots of Pike
county.
Hall was a married man, having OBJ
tanned his whe by murder. He was at
first completely fascinated with her but
when he saw Mrs. Mannette Belcher. the
wife of his slayer, his heart became hers.
He was a handsome fellow and won the
love of Mrs Belcher Belcher became
suspicious and charged his spouse with
being unduly intimate with Hail.
Mrs. Belcher became angry, and as
Hall had hoped, separation was agreed
on. The next morning Mrs Belcher left
her home to go. as she said to live with
relatives in Letcher county. She met
Hall at Elkhorn creek.
After Mrs. Belcher's departure an en-
emy of Hall went to Belcher and told
him of Halls duplicity. Belcher was in
furiated, and turning TO his informant
said:
Tell the members of Halls gang that
they had better elect another leader, as
Hall is doomed / intend to kill him,
as he slew the husband of his wife"
Belcher mounted his horse and gave
chase to Hall and his wife For forty
eight hours he rode without dismount
ing. and finally. early in the morning,
drew rein where Hall and his wife were
camped Belcher rushed up to his wife
and struck her in the face, crying:
81 ought to kill you, but it's your par
amour l want
When Belcher struck his wife Hall
ran in and knocked him down and gave
him a drubbing. Belcher fought, but
was badly handicapped by Mrs Belcher
who had fastened her hands in his hair
He finally succeeded in drawing his
pistol, and placing it against Halls side,
pulled the trigger, Belcher then
Jumped up. and was about to kill his
wife, when Hall rolled over, and between
gasps begged him to kill him, but not
ndilu MIS- Dtltnels his Aaob
was granted, for B-lcher turned and
fired the remaining loads in his pistol
into the body of his foe.
Three years ago Hall fell in love with
the wife of Miles Meade, in Letcher
county. The moonshiner had loved Mrs
Meades sister. but she was killed during
some mountain unpleassntness just
three months before he was to have
married her
After her death he became very at
tentive to MIS- Meade, and at one time
almost persuaded her to elope with him.
She persisted, however. in saying that
they must part until her husband died
Hall could not wait, and one day sue
ceeded in drawing Meade into quarrel.
He killed him before he could draw hi;
pistol and there being no witnesses tC
the trouble, he was acquitted. -Four
months after, Mrs Meade became Mrs
Hall. Hall has killed seven men, as fal
as his record is known, but many CLAIM
that twenty graves about cover thI
victims of his gun.
