A BLOODY TRAGEDY

Enacted Upon the steps of a Kentucky
Church-Brothers-in-Law In Mortal Com
bat-One Killed Outright and the Other
MortaIIy wounded-The Congregation
Panic-Stricken, Many of the Ladies'
Painting.
VERSAILLES, Ky, May 2T.-At noon
yesterday the steps of the Troy Pres
byterian church, seven miles south OF
here, were converted into a duelling
ground, George Il. Montgomery killing
his brother-in-law. Archibald Riley,
and being himself mortally wounded
by Riley.
The tragedy is the culmina tion OF a
sensation that upset high society in
the Blue Grass section three years ago,
when Riley seduced Montgomery's Sis
ter and fled to Mississippi. He was
brought back and at the point of pistol
forced to marry the girl. He immedi-
ately deserted her and did not return
to these parts until recently.
Both men attended church yester-
day. There was a large congregation
present, the church having the most
cultured and aristOcratic membership
in this part of the state Neither man
saw the other until after services
when they met face to face. Both be-
gan firing at once and did not stop till
one was dead with five bullets in his
body and the other dying with an
ugly wound just above the heart.
The congregation became panic
stricken at once, and the widest con-
fusion resulted. Scores OF ladies
tainted. and several were badly tram
pied in the stampede. The entire
scene vas enacted SO quickly that no
one thought of interfering.
Both men were astonishingly cool
and deliberate. Neither is thought to
have said 4 word before firing nor to
have made the slightest attempt to
shield himself from the others bullets.
After firing the last shot MOntgom-
cry turned to the bystanders and said:
Gentlemen, l hated to do this, but
was compelled to; and my conscience is
now easy"
Riley was 80 years of age; Mont
gomery 81 and unmarried. 1t is
claimed that Riley had threatened
Montgomery's life and both men had
been carrying pistols for each other.

failure OF the First national bank. in the cir
cult court. Receiver Latimer, who was on the

testify to i matter that has puzzled many peO-
pie. Mr.. Latimer was asked if he was stopped
from examining the First national bank. He
al first refused to answer the question. but
after parleying awhile the court directed him
to answer it. whereupon he testified that
thirteen days prior TO the failure OF the First
national bank the department
INSTRUCTED HIM NOT TO EXAMINE
the bank until he was ordered 10 do so: that
the department sent blanks to officers Of the
bank for a statement in order TO determine
whether he (LatimerD should be ordered to eX-
anime it or not. Before they were delivered
the bank closed Voluntarily. There has been
much speculation as to why the bank was not
examined, and the rumOr has been current
that the exception was made upon orders from
Washington. This testimony of Receiver Lat
