THE GREENFIELD MONSTER
Got in his Work-Woman Fatally and
Man Seriously Shot.

Sunday afternoon about 3 O'CLOCK
Green Ashby, colored shot Sailie Ken
nedy, aged % years, and Bob Baker,
both coiored, at Fishers Ford, in Mon
roe county, about 4 miles soutneast
of Santa Fe. The woman was shot in
the neck and side and probably fatally
wounded; the man was shot twice in
the right leg and once in the left.
According to the latest report Ash
ley is still at large and the woman is
still alive. Baker, who is about p
years of age, was brought to townMon-
day night, and when seen at the home
of his mother, on Davis street in south
east Mexico, next morning told the
following story:
81 work for Dave Sneed, about 3
miles northwest of Mexico. Sunday
morning l went with Peyton Haines,
who works at Hardin College, to see
old man Ashby-the father of the
man who did the shooting-who is
quite a friend of Haines'. We got out
there about II o'clock Sunday morn
ing and stayed until about 2:30, when
we hitched up the horses and l drove
them to the creek at a place called
Fishers Fore, about quarter of a mile
from the house, to water them. When
l got down to the water the woman
(Sallie Kennedy, whom l had never
seen before, asked me to drive her
across the ford. l told her all right
and she got in and l started across.
When we were about half way across
Green Ashby walked up on the other
side and said: sWhat the HI are you
buggy riding that woman for?' l
started to answer that l vas not bug
gy-rIding her, but he began to shoot
before / could finish. His first shot hit
the oma in the left side as she
jumped from the buggy, when she
cried out: Cousin Green, don't -
when she was stopped by a shot in the
neck. He then threw his gun down on
me and shot me once in the right hip,
once in the right lower leg and once
in the left lower leg. Someone pulled
the woman out of the water and sent
to Santa Fe for an officer, but 1 think
that Ashby got away"
From what the reporter could learn
the Kennedy woman was a good, hard
working woman, who lived with her
uncle, old man Ashby, and that Green
Ashby, who is between 80 and 40 years
of age, had fallen madly in love with
her and was insanely jealous, having
sworn that he would fill the man with
lead that he caught herewith; also that
Ashby had threatened to kill her if she
did not marry him. He has a hard
reputation in the Santa Fe neighbor-
hood and has been mixed up in q num-
Der Of scrapes, and it is said by Baker
that he has the reputation of having
killed a man. 1t is strange that Baker
could have stayed at the Ashby house
from IL to 2:30 O'Clock and not have
seen the Kennedy woman, but he de-
clares that when he saw her at the
ford it was for the first time.
Sallie Kennedy, the woman who
was shot by Green Ashby Sun
day, died Tuesday. The murderer has
not been captured.
