MIsER WAS ROBBED
As WELL As KILLED
Evidence Found That Money
Hidden in His Room Was
Stolen.

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
LYNCHBURG, VA. July 3o.-
Meredith McGann. who was found
murdered on the porch OF his lonely
hut about fourteen miles from Low
ingston. the county seat Of Nelson,
Va, yesterday morning, was probably
slain for the purpose of robbery. This
fact was made evident to-day when.
after an investigation of the house
and his simple effects had been made
by county officers and others, 1t was
ound that money which he was known
to have hidden In his single room was
missing and evidence OF the box in
which II was kept having been broken
into,
The theory is that he refused to give
UP his savings to the thief, and. that
as a result murder was added to the
crime OF housekeeping and robbery
on the part Of the marauder.~ Abso-
iutely no clue exists as to the iden-
tity of the slayer and tho authorities,
with the exception OF the discovery OF
the missing money. are as much at
q loss to account for the death of the
recluse as they were yesterday. Neigh
bors "a well as officers are examining
every nook and corner OF the little
house and the premises to discover
some slight sign by which a clue may
be found. The whole community IL

About Collecting Dog Taxes
And Killing CANNES.
TAYLOR MAKES DENIAL.
Tells Constable Burch That IT.
Knows Nothing of Alleged
Statements.


On Monday the constables of the
county will start on the war path,
and II will look bad for all CANNES
whose owners refuse to put up the
cash for their taxes when II Is de-
manded of them b ythe officers.
County Treasurer Heckler has had
the bills ready for some time. and
sent for the constabies to come and
get them. but these officers have not
yet shown up.
The code provides that the consta-
bles shall be given the bills In July.
and the treasurer thought the officers
might be waiting for Inly to pass,
so the treasurer could not give them
the slips in that month and thereby
not comply with the code. 1t Is be-
iieved that the officers are not over
anxious to take up the work.
In their calculations, however, II
they are not inisjudged, they did not
reckon with the cunning of the treas
urerer He went before Judge Scott
Saturday and requested the court to
get the constables in line for their
duty. The result was that Judge
Scott issued an order that all the of
ficers appear before him at 10 o'clock
Monday morning and receive their or

Taylor Denies Interview.
Following the strong statements
that were published several days ago
by another paper and accredited to
Agent Emmett Taylor, of the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Ami
mails, Constable Burch had a talk with
Mr.. Taylor.
According to the statements pub
lished, Mr., Taylor was going to have
the first man arrested who was guilty
OF killing a dog in the county on ac-
count. of the non-payment of taxes.
As this duty devolves upon Constable
Burch. and as ne Is about to begin
his duty along that line, he sought
out Mr.. Taylor and asked him what
he meant by the alleged statements.
The reply was a denial of any such
statement as had been attributed to
him.
