sore thumb.
This old man was convicted OF but one
murder, although two others we're slain
at the time-Edwin M. Reynolds and
savila, his adopted daughter.
The horror OF that triple tragedy is
still fresh in memory.
Mowry occupied one-half of a double
cottage near Harrisville, the Reynodses
living in the other half
On the night of April Is. 1897. neghbors
discovered the house TO be on FIRE
They attempted TO arouse the inmates
and failing to do SO forced an entrance
TO the Reynolds tenement.
Mrs. Reynolds. having been Ill slept
alone. and as her bed was near the win
dow that had been forced, she was re-
moved TO the yard.
Nothing could be done to save Mr. Rey-
nolds and Savilla.
From the girls room. by raising a lad
der and reaching through a window, her
favorite rocking chair was saved.
There were blood stains upon this as
we'll as upon the bedclothes
Then it was discovered that Mrs. Rey-
nolds had been murdered. She was brea tn
ing when removed from the house. but
died within five minutes. having been
struck on the head with an axe and a
bayonet having been thrust through her
skull
Mowrys half of the house was the last
TO become ignted.
The old man was not in the house and
his bed had not been occupied.
Everywhere kerosene was found to have
been thrown to help the flames 10 spread.
Mowry was found the next morning
three miles distant from the scene of the
murder. He had shot himself in the right
ear. making but a slight wound. and had
attempted TO drown himself In a sma II
stream, hut his courage had failed him.
He averred that he had been dragged
from his house by robbers who first set
fire to the building and then carried him
into the woods intending to rob him.
When he failed to produce the gold they
expected OF him. one shot and another
pushed him into the water.
Mowry says that John n. Peck
ham. the foreman OF the jury that con-
victed MIN, has offered to sign the peti-
tion that is to be presented TO Gov. Utter
asking for his. Mowry's. pardon.
The old man still exhibits the cunning
which marked his conduct and speech
after the murder and pending his trial
and conviction.
