DIR. Robertson Makes an Attempt on His
Life at Fincastle.

DIR. Robertson Makes an Attempt on His
Life at Fincastle
Fincastle, Va, April 12.-Dr. Thos
Robertson, who is ON visit here from
Woodstock with his wife and child, and
stopping with his brother.in. law, W. e.
Carper, Saturday morning, between the
hours of D and 10 O'Clock, went to n pri-
vate room in the house and, taking a 10
calibre pistol from drawer, deliberately
shot himself in the left breast. The ball
passed to the left of the heart and was
removed from beneath the shoulder blade
1t lnfiicteh severe wound, which will
most probably prove fatal
The doctor has been in bad health for G.
long time, and his friends say that he
has been very much depressed in mind
He seemed to be unusually bright and
cheerful that morning, and expected to
return home in the early part of this
week, and had sent on notice of the fact
ahead
1t is thought that he must have been
temporarily insane when he made the Mt.
tempt on his life. He says now that he
deeply regrets the act. and insists that he
cannot recover. Mrs. Robertson, wife
OF the wounded man, heard the shot and
fall, and immediatel = ran into the loom
to find her husband PROSTATE on the floor
and his life blood flowing from the
wound. She was so much overcome that
she could do no more than give the alarm.
In few moments physician was on
hand aud rendered the necessary utten
ton.

BORN IN ROANOKE.

The wife of Chas. Gibson, VINO was
murdered by some of the members of the
Mulligan's gang in Fayette county, West
Virginia. was originally from Roanoke.
Her name was Virginia Dent, and she
was born in what WAS known as Big Lick,
on the Goth of June, 1869, and her family
in 1871 moved ito Georges creek, in Kan
awha county, West Virginia. She was
very dissolute woman. and even during
her married life led life of crime. At
the time of the murder of her husband
she was in the same bed and was under
the influence of IN orphine, habit she
had contracted some years before. The
murder was committed by Clark Lewis,
assisted by Albert Wars, Willy Lewis,
Wilbur Slaughter and John Huson, and
was one of the most bloodthirsty in the
annals Of West Virginia crime. The cause
Of the murder was Oh account of the ieal-
ousy Of Gibson of his wife, who was in
love with Clark Lewis, negro. Gibson,
it seems. had threatened Lewis if he
cnught him around his house, anu at that
Lewis and the other members of the gang
decided to murder him. They went to his
house, entered and found them both in
bed. Wars held Gibson's feet, Slaugh-
ter his hands while Lewis choked him to
death. Through the untiiing efforts and
strategy of the detectives the murierers
have been apprehended and are in Jail in
Charleston awaiting their trial. Several
other murders have been traced to this
gang.
