SHOT BY FATHER

UNIoNrowN. Pa, Nov. 5th.-Hayden
r. Craft, the wealtliest and most prom.
inent business man of Uniontown, shot
and killed instantly his only daughter,
Mrs. Elizabeth Coddington, yesterday
morning at l.30 o'clock. She was mis-.
taken for a burglar while on an errand
! of mercy for her sick husband.
The dead woman was but 20 years
old and bride of few months. Dis
tracted at what he had done, the father
attempted to turn the weapon upon him.
self, and was only prevented from suicide
by neighbors.
Meantime, the husband, sick unto
death, is calling in his delirium for his
| dead wife.
Several days ago Mr.. Coddington was
seized wish an attack of pneumonia. In
order that he might have every attention
and be cared for, lie was removed from
his own home to that OF his father-in-law
MIR. Craft. During the time that he has
been ill his constant companion and nurse
has been his devoted wife.
Yesterday morning the supply of ice
in the sick chamber became exhausted
and Mrs. Coddington went downstairs
to the kitchen to get more. Her father
heard footsteps in the kitchen, and he
came to the conclusion that burglars had
entered the house.
Securing his revolver, he descended
the stairs. The door leading into the
kitchen was closed. Hearing the foot
steps approaching, the father fired through
the panel of the door. There was heavy
crash. The bullet had struck his daugh-
ter in the breast. and she fell to the floor
dead.
Craft rushed into the street and noti-
fed his neighbors that he killed a burg
lar. They entered the kitchen by the
door through which the shot had been
fred. There they found the young wife
on the floor.
The sight of his dead daughter crazed
Craft, and he would have sent bullet
through his own brain, had not he been
restrained.
Meantime, the house is filled with the
piteous cries of the husband for his wife.
He does not know of her death, and
probably never will, for his condition is
very grave.
Mr.. Craft is under constant guard in
the fear that he will end his life. He
has been for years the leading hardware
merchant here. His daughter was one of
the handsomest young women in Union
town.
