Last nights action in removing
Tyler from the danger of a lynching
followed the death cf his second VIC
tim, William Robinson, news of whose
death spread from the Emergency
Hospital shortly after 8 O'Clock and
tanned the flame of indignation among
the young mans friends. Shortly
after there was a persistent rumor
that indignant citizens of Eastport
and Annapolis would endeavor to
storm the jail in the early morning
hours, after midnight. The authori-
ties had already placed extra guards
in the Jail, and had a moi formed it
would have been met with bullets if
it persisted in an effort to get the
prisoner.
The opinion is growing, through
circumstances surrounding the mans
actions after shooting his daughter
and son-in-lw, and his former threats.
that when taken into custody he con.
sidered his work unfinished, and was
on his way to kill another member of
his family. Walter Tyler, a son,
against whom the father had been
particularly bitter in his hatred, was
that day working in front of the An
napolis postoffice with riggers' gang,
putting up new flag pole and it was
in this direction the murderous father
was headed when taken into custody
on the bridge between Eastport and
Annapolis bv Patrolman Garner.
Further than this, when Tyler dis
missed his young granddaughter, John
Tyler, after the lad had driven him
from his own home, where the fatal
wounds had been given the wife, to
the dwelling of the son-in-aw, he told
the boy that he could go on if he
wanted to, as after stopping in to see
his daughter he was going over to
Annapolis.
William Robinson. the son-in-law,
who died last n light from the wounds
inflicted when his wife's father shot
him, was a universally popular young
man, wit a reputation as sober and
Industrious worker and a kind and
considerate father and husband. He
was son of Charles Robinson. for
merly keeper of the Greenberry Point
Lighthouse, at the mouth of the An
napolis harbor and now an inmate of
the Soldiers Home at Pikesville.
Funeral service over the remains of
Mrs. Tyler, the first of the victims
to die, whose end came on Monday
night, will be held 10 O'Clock tomor-
row morning. The body has been re-
moved to the home of her son, Walter
Tyler at Back creek, on the far side
of Eastport, from where the services
will be held. Plans for the funeral
of young Robinson have not been
completed.
The condition of young Mrs. Robin
son who is the mother of two small
children, is considered precarious.
She has not been informed of her hus-
bands death yet.
The removal of the murderer to
Baltimore last night was made on
the last car over the Short Line.
1t was after IL o'clock when States :
Attorney Green, Judge Brashears
and Deputy Boone determined not to
take any chaces, so that it required
a rush to get the prisoner up and
dressed in time to catch the 11.35
car.

dressing. Tyler was not frightened,
nor remorseful either going to the
train or during the ride to Balti.
