minated fatally to one Of the mum
Der. Robert Gillet was shot and killed
by James Floyd, and as the evidence
showed at Inquest over body OF Gil
let, almost without provocation The
offense OF the deceased seems to have
been in the picking up a nickel
which Floyd staked on the game and
which Gillet refused to give him.
The demand on the part Of Floyd
was followed by a bullet from his pts
tol which pierced the heart and liver
of GiIlet, killing him instantly.
Floyd fed as soon as he had ex e
amined the wound OF his victim, TAX
ing the earliest freight train north.
He was caught at Pocomoke City,
concealed 10 car OF lumber by Mr..
Calvin Townsend, aud consenting to
return was brought back to Onley by
Constable Tankari g. Kellam on
Monday, when after a preliminary
ex animation by Justice George F.
Parker he was sent to Jail to wait
the action OF the grand jury.
The evidence disclosed at the in
quest was substantially as reported
above. The verdict Of the jury was
that Robert Gillet came to his
death by means OF a pistol bullet
shot and discharged by one James
Floyd" The murderer is only 10
years old
On the person Of Floyd was found,
when arrested, a pistol with one bar
rel empty, brass knuckles, black jack
