The Irish standard., 1905-04-08

The scene of the murder was at Car
riglawn, one and: half miles from
the town, in the Taghmon district, and
the victims were an old Crimean
soldier named Michael Connors, aged
about S0,sand his wife Margaret, aged
about 60. When their milkwonlan
called, in the morning, at the usual
hour, she met with no response to her
knocking at the door,: John Walsh, a
neighbor saw her, and on looking
through the kitchen window, he saw
Mrs. Connors lying dead on the floor.
He at once informed the police, and
on entering the house, the police found
the old man and woman lying dead on
the floor, beside each other, their
heads being battered in. A hammer
and tire-scuttle lay hard by. The
parties lived alone, and had the rep
utation of having money, so that
robbery was the apparent motive for
the dead. No arrests have yet been
made. Mr.. and Mrs. Connors lived
by themselves in snug matched
cottage, only short space from the
public road leading to Taghmon. He
had been in the Royal Irish regiment,
and fought all through the Crimean
War in 1886, and the couple had the
reputation OF having money by them.
The murder must have been commit
ted during the wild storm OF Saturday
night, as the neighbors heard no
disturbance.
