Three Times Married.
KILLS wIFE'S STEPFATHER.
Metamora Qnd) Telegrapher, in FIT
of Jealous Rage, Vents Wrath
with Gum.

Metamora, Ind, April 14.-Crazy
with jealousy, Richard Oliphant,
telegraph operator here, on Saturday
murdered Capt. Peter Pellser, his
wife's stepfather, who was assisting
her to leave her home. The shooting
was done on the platform of the rail-
way station in his wife's presence.
Then, after holding the town at bay
all day long with his shotgun, Oil
plant killed himself late in the after
noon by taking carbolic acid. Oil
plant was jealous of Richard McAntee,
a fireman on the Big Four railroad.
Mrs. Oliphant and Capt. Pellser, her
stepfather, appeared at the depot
Saturday morning, apparently ready
to leave town. Shortly before train
time Oliphant appeared in the door
of the depot with double barreled
shotgun in his hands. His manner
was so threatening that 1t was
thought he intended to kill McAntee
as soon as he caught sight of him. To
prevent this some one ran down the
track, tagged the train and begged
the engineer not to approach the de-
pot till Oliphant could be disarmed.
The stopping of the train seemed to
heighten Oliphant's rage. He ran up
the platform to where Pellser was
standing, lifted his shotgun and fred.
The charge tore away Pellser's left
hand and the injured man fell, groan-
ing, to the ground. Mrs. Oliphant ran
in terror to the rear of the depot,
but Oliphant did not attempt to chase
her. Instead, he calmly walked closer
to Pellser and emptied the other bar
rel of the weapon into his back, just
to the right of the spinal column. In
few hours Pellser was dead.
Meantime Olipbant had barricaded
himself in the depot. He threatened
to kill anyone who approached. His
rawlings at everyone within hearing
were horrifying, but he did not shoot
again. Later in the afternoon, how
ever, when he had been quiet for
some time, officers crept up to the
building and gained entrance. They
found 0liphant lying on the floor,
gasping in the death throes. The
empty bottle from which he had
taken the carbolic acid was beside
him.
