Terrible Crirne al Cornwallis.

j
Last Thursday afternoon a
startling and bloody tragedy was
enacted at CORVALLIS, a small
town on the B. & o. not many
miles west of Clarksburg. Frank
Gross shot and instantly killed
his sister. a married woman, the
wife of Mr.. Cam Taylor. Ac.
cording to the statements of eye
witnesses, the crime was i hor.
rible one and was committed un.
der very peculiar circumstances.
Cross was drinking and was ut
MIR. Taylor's, where he had a
quarrel with his wife, who was
also there. Mrs. Taylor came
into the room, when Cross pulled
out a revolver. His sister re-
marked to him that it was not
loaded and he would not shoot
any one. Cross responded with
an oath that he would shoot her
and Immediately fred at her,
killing her instantly, He threw
his revolver under the house.
picked his sister up and laid her
on the bed, and then-w went out.
going down to Cairo. His wife
and another woman, the girl at
Mr.. Taylor's, ran out Of the
house when the murder was com
mitted, no doubt fearing Gross
would kin them.
Gross went down TO Cairo. but
was Immediately arrested and
taken back to CORVALLIS. Squire
w. .. Gilbert impanneled q
Icoroner's jury, which returned d
verdict in accordance with the.
above facts. The justice held
Cross to answer for the crime.
and he WAS brought over to Har-
risville about three o'clock Fri.
day morning BY Constable Tom
Gilbert and lodged in jail.
Gross claims the shooting was
accidental, but the circumstances
to the contrary seem to be against
him.
Cross is about twenty-four
years of age and is the father of
three children.
