The. Horrible sight That Greeted
Young Huaband and FAITH +
as He Game In for
Luncheon.

When George j. Shields, a well
known young business man OF Roa-
noke, Va, reached his home.in the
heart OF the city at the luncheon
hour Saturday he found his 3-year-
daughter, Mildred, lying in a pool OF
olood on tho reception hall floor with
two ugly wounds on tho head. Follow
ing blood strains from the dining room
10 an upstairs chamber he found his
vile lying In pools of blood on q
clothes closet floor, with her throat
cut from ear to ear and her head hor-
ribly hacked. Mrs. Shields managed
TO gasp, "a large black negro man
came through the kitchen and attack.
cd me In the dining room"
BESIDES this there is nc clue TO she
criminal. Mrs. Shields had been out
ragged after her assailant dealt her
several blows on the head with a
hatchet, fractu ing the skull, drag
ging her upstairs, where he cut her
throat with a razor and threw her in
the closet, taste ming the door on the
outside. The little girl was stuck to
hush her cries. The dining room floor
was covered wit blood and showed
there had been terrible struggle. The
doctors entertain but slight hopes for
the recovery of either the mother or
the child.
Ever since the discovery of the
tragedy large crowd OF citizens has
been in the vicinity of the city jail
watching to see IL the officers carry
any one into the building. At 8
o'clock Saturday night this crowd
numbered more Than 900 men. May
or Cutchin has ordered Capt. Francis
OF the Roanoke blues military com.
pany, to assemble his men as pre-.
cautionary measure.
BY order OF the mayor all the sa-
looms were closed at O'Clock Satur-
day. While judge Jonn Woods of the
corporation court was pleading from
the jail steps with the throng in the
district to preserve order some one in
the crowd hurled beer bottle at him.
The missile barely missed It's mark.
At1l o'clock the crowd had dispersed
