AND WAS KILLED.
Seeking Revenge, Inadvert.

X<DS seeking Revenge, 1nauVerC
Rang a Bell and Gave Warming.
A2exander Person. a colored desperate,
Was shot to death at Irish Valley, Penn,
by George Brewer and John Geimby.
Brewer and Geimby were in m clubhouse
on Brewers farm when the tinkle of a bell
ILL the stable caught their ear. The bell
connected with the kitchen by a cord, and
Pierson had accidentally run against the
cord, sounding his own death knell, as it
proved. 1t was his intention to kill Brewer
and his wife.
For years Pierson had terrorized various
portions of the State. Last year he stopped
at Irish Valley and entered Mr.. Brewers
house and stole $50. Mr.. Brewer and some
friends pursued and caught him and he was
convicted and sentenced to nine months
imprisonment. He then declared that he
would be revenged upon Brewer. On being
released after serving his sentence he
started for Irish Valley, to carry out his
threat.
AS related, Brewer and Geimby heard the
bell. They rushed In the kitchen and con-
rronted Pierson. The desperate made
ready for battle and ducked as a shot
whizzed passed his head. The farm hands
hurried from all sides. Pierson ran back
a few steps and sprang through a closed
window. As he landed on the ground out
side q bullet broke one Of his legs. An In
slant later another went through his head.
Pierson dragged himself forward, cursing
ais foes and shouted dehantly as the guns
cracked away. He died at Brewers feet.
The coroner's verdict was justi1able homi-
eide.
