Nickclcon. this afternoon. and shot
Miss Tawn Davis. 20 years of age.
daughter of Mrs. Nickcrson by her for
n,er marriage. and shot Mrs. Nicker-
son. and then tried to kill himself
Mrs. Nickcrson received flesh wound
ii. the back. which will bring no seri-
Gus results.
The bullet fired at Miss Davis struck
Ter in the left breast and ranged down
ward. lodging presumably below the
heart, and in such locality that the
doctors feared to probe. owing to her
critical condition. Blood shot himself
through the mouth, but the wound will
not prove serious.
Blood has been trying to force his at
tcntions on Miss Linnie Davis. an old
az daughter. but both the young lady
and the family objected. He showed
considerable affection for Miss Linnie.
and there seemed to be no way of pre-
venting his calls.
This afternoon. he went to the house
and saw Mrs. Nickcrson, asking if the
girls were in. Mrs. Nickcrson told him
to go away, as they did not care to
see him.
He suddenly rushed up stairs to
room where the two girls were paint
ing an old bureau. AS he saw them
he said: 'Hullo. girls ilourishing a
revolver. and then shot with the in
tention of hitting Miss Linnie But Miss
Fawn Davis was just in front of her
and received the bullet.
BY this time Mrs. Nickerson had
reached the top of the stairs and she
screamed and then turned to run for
assistance. Blood turned around and
discharged a bullet which struck her in
he back.
The man then put the revolver into
his mouth and fired. The bullet went
out OF the back Of his neck and sur
gically did little damage. He then
threw himself down on a lounge and
remained there until Mrs. Nickerson
and the neighbors returned with Off
GERS.
DIR. Whitmarsh was called to attend
Miss Davis, who is i'll Il very critical
condition, tonight.
Blood was locked up and will be taken
to Brockton in the morning and ar
