someone shot him. A companion says
he said: "Grace did this" before he
died. The footprints of a woman, a
woman's cape and key to the front
door, were found behind the store.
Grace Bottorf, 20-year-old society
girl of Ashtabula, was arrested at 2
a. m, few hours after the murder,
dragged from her bed. forced to dress,
rushed to the Jail and locked up with

came out.
Taylor had been a modern Don Juan.
His first wife secured a divorce in
Cleveland and he moved to Ashtabula.
His handsome face, good clothes and
winning ways gained an entrance for
him into the little towns best society.
In all that society none was more
popular or better loved than Grace
Bottorf, the only daughter of wealthy
physician. Her parents objected to
Taylor, but Grace insisted and they
gave her their blessing, but not their
consent.
Miss Bottorf says they went to
Cleveland and were welded by Rev.
Shields at the Hollenden hotel.
There is no such man and the records
are silent on such a marriage.
Four weeks ago, she says, Taylor
told her the marriage was a mock one,
performed by friend who imperson-
ated the minister. He also took from
her the certificate the pseudo clergy
man had given her.

loved Taylor as only good, pure women
can love-even the worst men. She
was Is years old when she believed she
became a wife. She had been the
pride of her parents heart. They loved
her-they idolized her. Her every
want was anticipated, her every wish
realized.
Even after her marriage, the love
did not lessen. Her parents home
was always open to her-but not to
her husband. With all a young wife's
loyalty. she would 60 only where her

Her husband was working up bus

work for her husband. She learned

CANTON, o., June 1.-The blunder
Of over-zealous officials, combined with
circumstantial evidence that proved
unreliable, has cast shadow over a
young life and has nearly broken two
Sond parents hearts.
The first chapter began with the
mysterious murder of George H. Tay-
lor, manager of wooden mills store
here, the night of May 81. He en-
tered his place Of business that night

Taylor himself, that he was to be at
the store that night. His return there
was an impulse, after he had visited a
number of saloons down town.
The young wife's demeanor under
the appalling circumstances excited
the greatest admiration. She had
never seen the exterior of prison
before. But the delicate girl was
thrown into cell, surrounded by
criminals--degraded men and women.
She WINGED at the association, but
she gritted her teeth, clinched her
hands and her little head held high,
she said:
81 am innocent, and You will regret
this"
She answered the questions of the
officers freely and unhesitatingly She
cried when told of Taylor's death, and
said: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. l did
love him SOL"
Then she thought of her parents,
so she sent them message. They
were on their way to her at the time
The smile with which she met them
was a wan, sad one. but it was brave
one, too. 1t takes brave heart to
smile at all when on the wrong side

charge impending
As they reached the barred grating
of her cell, she pursed up her pretty
lips for her fathers kiss. and patted
her mothers gray hair. You see, the
bars were not made for prisoners with
such small hands.
Dr. Bottorf employed the best at
torneys and a sober second thought
convinced the authorities that the
girls arrest was deplorable mistake.
81 knew it would all come out right"
she said, as she left the Jail with her
arms around her mother.
She returned to Ashtabula, where a
perfect ovation awaited her from al
most the entire city. No one who
had ever known her for a moment be-
heved her guilty.
Now she proposes to fight for a
vindication. She proposes to prove
that she was Taylor's wife, or that
she was deceived in the most outrag-
eous way by the dead man. Her at
torneys took the first step by filing
a claim to the dead mans estate on
behalf of "the widow, Grace Bottorf
Taylor" She AYERS that she doesn't
want the money, but she does want
vindcation, and this is the quickest
way to get it.
Meantime the officers have arrested
Richard Quigley, tailor employed by
Taylor at the latter's store, and Miss
La Belle or Mrs. Quigley. The former
has served time for burglary and is
charged with murder. Miss La Belle
is accused of being an accomplice be-
fore the fact. The police are con-
WINGED that the murder was committed
by burglars, who were caught in the
act by Taylor, and feared to be recog-
nized. They think one Of the burglars
may have worn woman's macintosh
and thus deceived Taylor, in the dark
ness of the store.

MURDERERs
That Are Now in the Penitentiary
at MoundsVille.

At the present time there are
four men confined in the West
Virginia penitentiary in Mounds
vile who are condemned to die.
Tom Tucker, a negro, who cut
the throat of his white mistress
! in Parkersburg about year ago,
will be hanged ON the 22nd of
April. Some time ago Tucker
! was granted a six months respite,
but it will expire on the above
date. The friends of Tucker in
innate that there is no hope for
him, as his case is in the hands of
the pardon board at the present
time. and it is stated on good au-
thority that the board disagrees
over the ultimate fate Of the man.
Eugene Hertzog, white, of Graf
ton, shot and killed man while
drunk. The case was a most brutal
one, andthe crime was committed
while the murdered man was upon
his knees begging for mercy.
Hertzog was granted a writ Of
error by the court of appeals, and
he will be taken back to Taylor
county some time in the near
future for a new trial.
Ed Hunter, colored of Fayette
county, was granted a writ of
error by the supreme court Of
West Virginia, but it is not GER
tain yet whether he will get a new
trial or not. Hunter is being held
pending the court s decision. In
case the court does not grant the
man new trial, he will have to
be taken back to the criminal
court before which he was first
tried and be resentenced.
Jess Briggs, colored, of Fayette
county, is also sentenced to be
hanged on the 9th of May. His
case has not yet been placed in
the hands of the pardon board.
Briggs and Hunter were two
of the most desperate criminals
ever brought to the pen from Fay
cite. While they roamed the
hills of that section of the state,
they were a constant menace to
all law and order, and they gave
the officers in that section a great
deal of trouble.
