Connecticut people, as rule, have
probably given but passing note to
diabolical crime which occurred last
week In a little country hamlet, when
beautiful girl was shot in cold blood by
an Indian and the barn buildings fred
and burned to the ground. This tragedy
occurred hardly quarter of mile from
the boyhocd home of the Messrs Smith
of TIE BEE, at South Amherst, and the
writer was we'll acquainted with the
afflicted family. The facts are as fol-
lows: Edith Morell, the attractive
young daughter of Mrs John r. Morell,
who was murdered in cold blood by Eu-
gene Takahpuer, an Indian employed CD
the farm, was general favorite in the
village; everybody knew her and every
body liked her. She attended the high
school at Amherst, and would have grad
uated next year. There was no eye wit
ness to the awful tragedy save the slayer
and his victim, but it is known that the
Indian called Edith from the house out
to the cellar of the barn and there shot
her. 1t was done with cool deliberation,
for Immediately after the shooting he
went into the house and told the girls
mother what he had done, and said that
be was going to shoot himself and burn
the barn. He carried out his murderous
program to the letter. He went to the
main floor of the barn, set fire to the hay,
crawled into q wagon and then shot
himself. There was no slip in his plan
ming, and the burning barn consumed
his body Just as he meant it should. The
charred bones of his body were found In
the midst of the ruins and the fatal re.
volver nearby. The distracted mother
was able to remove her dying daughter
her body, and as the fire progressed the
poor girl was removed across the street.
But her young life had gone out, and the
Aendish redskin had done his work well
Two shots had taken effect in her head
either one of which would have proved
fatal. The Morell home was q fine ole
farmhouse, and, like so many farm
places, the house and sheds and barns
formed one continuous string of build
ings, 80 that there was no stopping the
fire, and nothing was left after the fire
had run its course but three gaunt chin.
neys. Tskahpuer had lived with the
Morells for some time and had bccomF
infatuated with Edith. He had been IN.
able to conceal it, but the family, al
though they tried to discourage his at.
tentions, permitted the daughter to b.
much in the company of the Indian
Finally Mrs Morell saw that she mus
discharge him, and did so Monday morr.
ing. Angered at the thought that b.
could not marry the girl, the savage
blood in his veins was stirred to revenge
and he coolly planned the awful tragedy
The strange aspect of the affair is thai
the Indian had previously borne q good
reputation. He had embraced Christi
snity, being 8 member of the Congrega
rtional church at Conway, Mass. We car
only add our word of sympathy to the
family in their overwhelming grief.
