Our mills are running full time at pres
ent, in spite Of business depression, but

wounded by Robert HILBERT.
Mrs. Phillips is 43 years of age and
has three grown children. HILBERT is
only % years of age. They both for
merly lived at Kennett Square, Pa.
Mrs. Phillips said in her antemortem
statement that for some time HILBERT
has been importuning her to marry
him, but that she declined, owing to the
disparity in their ages.
He entered the kitchen where she
was and almost Immediately began to
shoot at her. He fired five shots, four
of which took effect Hilbert then turn
ed the revolver on himself and pointed
at his head, but the weapon failed to
explode. He then left the house and
went to police headquarters, where he
gave himself up.
He could assign no cause for his act
except that he thought Mrs. Phillips
treated him coldly when he entered the
house. He said he hoped she would
die. The woman can live but a few
hours. She pleads with those about her
to save her assailant from punishment.
She believed that HILBERT was not in
his right mind.
