Maggie McNulty lived there, but she
came to this city and made her home
with Paul Thompson, an Armenian, at
1877 North Main street. Yesterday noon
another woman who had lived with Tay-
lor came into the city from Boston. aud
called upon Maggie, and the two decided
TO go out TO the Taylor house, and when
Thompson and the woman who is known
as bis wife learned that Maggie was go-
ing to leave they told Maggie that she
should not. Finally the girl said she had
decided to remain, 90 nothing more was
said.
But the girl had made up her mind to
go, but not knowing the character of the
persons she was dealing with decided to
steal away. AT $50 last evening she went
out of the house, telling Mrs. Thompson
that she would return in half an hour.
She then went TO the railroad station,
where she met her companion and they
went to Millville, where they hired a
team and were driven to Mr.. Taylor's
house, arriving about 10 o'colck. Being
hat fatigued after the ride they re-
tired, as did the rest OF the family.
About 10:45 O'Clock the bell rang and
MIR. Taylor went TO the door and there he
found two ArmeniaDs, who said that
they wanted beer.
Mr.. Taylor waited upon them, but be-
fore they had emptied their glasses there
was another ring of the bell and this
time Mr.. Taylor found three more Ar
menians. They, too, wanted beer.
After all had had drink Hittian said
that they had come from Providence and
wanted a girl that was in the house, and
that il they did not get her they would
kill everybody in the place. Taylor told
them that they had made mistake as
there was no woman there, and IL there
was she was not going with them, and
above all, they would not kill any one, IL
there was a hundred OF them. One OF the
Armenians said that the girl was in the
house, "for, said he, "there is her hat, !"
which he spied on a table in little room
leading from the bar room The men
and Mr.. Taylor had heated argument,
and Hittian, who acted as spokesman,
stepped up TO the bar, pulled out seven
shooter, put IL up TO Taylor's head and
pulled the trigger, but 1t failed TO go on.
Taylor grabbed Flobert rife from be-
meath the bar and shot the Armenian,
the bullet taking effect in the right side
of Hiltian's neck, about two inches to
the rig ht OF his wind pipe.
Ilittian fell TO the floor, and as he fell,
Taylor's houeekeeper came upon the
scene. She opened the front door and
the other four Armenisns did not wait
for the order TO go, but went az once,
leaving their dying countrymsn bshind

of Deputy Sheriff Oliver A. Inman, and
told him of the shooting.
