Murder at Martlnsburg

Another murder was committed at
Martinsburg about noon on Monday,
when Parker Teter, aged 20 years,
shot and killed David Quirk, aged l9
wears. The tragedy occurred at
Busch's saloon on North Queen street,
at what is known as Five Points.
AS described by witnesses, 1t seems
that several young men, among whom
was the victim, all more or less under
the influence of liquor, were tantallz-
ing young Teter, who is a barber. a
quarrel ensued at the saloon, where
Teter went for liquor, and Walter
Hipsley, one of the crowd, called
Teter a vile epithet, at which Teter
instantly fired at Hipsley. He lodged
and the ball struck Quirk in the head,
killing him instantly. Teter is Of a
respectable family and peacefully in
clined, but, it is said, had been worried
by the crowd for some days. The
parties concerned range from Is to %
years of age. Quirk is unmarried.
Teter waived preliminary hearing
and was sent to Jail to await the &C
ton Of the grand jury, which convened
for the regular April term Of court on
Tuesday. The beginning of the dis
pute, it is said, was the refusal Of
Teter to drink with HipsleY on Mon
day, though the two young men had
been on bad terms for some days pre-
viously.
When Teter saw the scattered brains
of his victim and realized the result
Of his act he was frenzied with fear
and turned the revolver against him
self. Placing the muzzle to his head,
be pulled the trigger several times IN
an attempt to kill himself, but each
time the revolver failed to work. he
then rushed from the spot, shouting
at every one he met II have killed a
man; l have just shot a man to
death J.
The matter was presented to the
grand Jury on Tuesday, and an indict-
ment for murder in the first degree
was returned.
