Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1911-12-05

| concerned night IN jail, during which
his murderous rampage of yesterday
in which he hacked and beat his wife's
head to pieces with hatchet and in
flicted fatal wounds upon his son-in-
law, seem ed not to disturb his rest at
all, Albert Tyler, of Eastport, ate
good breakfast this morning and ap-
parently is not worried over his pres
ent situation or remorseful over the
bloody assaults he committed.
From the result of the brutal beat
| ing and hacking he gave her when she
returned to their home for some
personal belongings, Mrs. Catherine
Tyler, the wife, died shortly after 8
| O'Clock last night in the Emergency
Hospital, without having been able to
make a statement of just what oc-
Cured in the little upstairs room of
their yellowpainted cottage, where
she lay for several hours in pool of
blood before being found by George
Tyler, her son by former marriage.
She was apparently conscious and
nodded or shook her head in affirma-
tion or negat ltion of some of the
questions put to her, but could not
talk because of the fearfully torn and
| crushed condition of her face and
head.
William Robinson, the son-in-law,
to whose home the murderous man
went after fatally assaulting his wife,
that he might carry out his oft-made
threat of "leaving a trail of blood
from Fishing Greek to He'll" lies at
the Emergency Hospital, where his
death is momentarily expected.
In another ward in the same institu-
tion lies Mrs. Vivian Tyler Robinson,
| from whose head the bullet of her APP
parenty blood-crazed father fired at
her, has been removed. She is not
dangerously injured and will recover.
The condition of her husband, with
bullet still INDICATED in the upper
part of his back, which had pene-
trated the lower lobe of the left lung,
is much more serious. His almost as
sured death will double the charge
against his father-in-law. Last night
his ante-mortem deposition and state
| ment of the occurrences at his home
| when the shooting took place, was
taken as he lay in the hospital by
States Attorney Nicholas H. Green
| and before Justice of the Peace John
| N. Davis.
Following her death last night,
Mrs. Tyler's body was removed to the
undertaking establishment of Woolley
& Son, where it now is. Funeral ar
rangements have not been made, but
the funeral will, it is understood, take
pl ace tomorrow afternoon some time.
| Over in Eastport, the quiet little
| village where the crimes were COM
mitted, nothing else is being talked of
today. While indignation runs high
| and some of the more indignant and
irresponsible citizens yesterday after
noon and last night urged that sum-
mary Justice be dealt the prisoner,
there is not thought to be any pos
sibility of their taking the law into
their own hands.
Tyler's own admissions of his acts,
both in his own home, where the fatal
wounds were inflicted upon his gray
headed old wife, and in the residence of
the Robinsons seems to leave no room
to doubt that when brought to trial
he will be convicted of first-degree
murder, and in this connection Sheriff
George Thomas Beasley faces a pecu.
liar situation. Sheriff Beasley was
elected last November and took the
oath of Office yesterday. During the
four-year term of his predecessor,
Frank S. Revell, not a single first
degree murder was committed, and
Sheriff Revell never had a hanging
to conduct.
| A comparison of times here and at
Eastport would indicate that the ink
in his signature was barely dry on
the Clerks office test book, before the
murderous rampage of Tyler started.
Many citizens of Eastport and, indeed,
of Annapolis too, are urging the ad-
Visibility of quieting the feeling over
the crimes by the immediate re-as-
sembling of the Anne Arundel county
grand jury to indict Tyler and bring
him to immediate trial. However,
this has not been seriously taker
Iup by States Attorney Green OF
Judge Brashears yet, although it is 6
possibility. No further steps will be
taken by the authorities now unit
after the funeral of the one victim
who has died or the result of Robin
sons wounds are known.
/ Tyler, in his cell at the county Jail
seems unconcerned. and will talk OF
other matters, but since making hi:
6rst admissions to Policeman Garner
who made the arrest, refused to dis
cuss the crime in any way. No one
other than the attendants at the jail,
are allowed to see him, and so far a.
is known he has not formally engaged
council to defend him when the lega
machinery begin to move against him
