SOLE SURVIVOR OF
AMERICANS RAGE
TELLS HER STORY
Woman Wounded by Robert
Hicks Murray Tells of
Shooting in Writing.

EASTBOURNE. England, Sept. 49,
Miss Florence Paler, who survived the
attacks of the mysterious Robert Hicks
Murray" at the time he wiped out his
entire family before taking his own life,
was witness today when the inquest
was resumed on the bodies of Murray,
his wife and three children. Miss Paler
was still so weak from the wound MUIR
ray inflicted on her that her testimony
was taken in writing.
Exactly who Murray was even Miss
Paler did not knpw. The evidence
showed that Richard Chales Mackie. an
American, his wife and their one child
rented a house in Enys road, East
bourne. July "a. Here they lived until
the morning of the tragedy Whether
or not Edith Paler, the supposed Mrs.
Mackie knew ii or not, Murray was also
living in another part OF Eastbourne
with Ediths sister. Florerfoe, and their
two children. They passed as Mr.. and
Mrs. Stirling.
Shortly before the date of expiration
of his lease to the Enys road house.
Mackie. or Stirling, called on the rent
ing agent, who had never seen him
before, as all their transactions had
been by mail. introduced himself as
Robert Hicks Murray and rented the
house from August 49,
On the afternoon of August II he took
Florence Paler (Mrs Stirling) and her
| two children from the lodgings and ac-
companied them to the house in Enys
road So far as can be learned, Edith
Paler (Mrs. Mackie) and her child had
already been killed and were lying in a
locked room upstairs.
Early on August 10 Mackie, Stirling,
or Murray awakened Florence and
asked her IL she would like a cup of
tea. She answered In the affirmative,
and he went to get It. Returning with
| a revolver instead of the tea, he shot
her in the neck. evidently supposed she
| was dead, and, turning the weapon on
! the children, killed both of them.
While he was doing this Florence, who
was not dead, had rushed screaming
/ from the house. BY the time she found
| help, however, Murray had carried the
children to the room where his previous
victims lay, soaked their clothing in
petrol, and set them alight. Then he
shot and killed himself.

Barn and Antiques Burned

A barn owned by George M. Morse, which set back from the roadway on Woodstock avenue, about half way be- tween Church and Marshal streets, was destroyed by fire between one and two o'clock Sunday afternoon.
 The building was occupied by A. La vigne and used by him as storehouse for various antiques and secondhand articles in which he deals. He carried no insurance and his loss is estimated at between s1 800 and S2,000. The building was insured. It is thought that someone smoking under the barn caused the fire.
 The fire had gained great headway before the hremen arrived, the blazing roof giving off sparks which threaten ed other nearby buildings. Several roofs caught fire but were at once seen and eNtiuguished. It was nearly three o'clock when the ali.out signal was sounded.

City of Putnams Case Referred to
 Committee.

Judge William H. Williams in the Superior Court at Hartford Wednes- day appointed John w, Coogan as a committee to hear and dertermine the suit of the Connecticut Contracting Company of New Britain against the city of Putnam. The suit was to have been taken up before Judge Williams and jury, but after the Judge had ex- amined the papers he thought that the matter should more properly be heard to a committee than to a jury, The lawyers agreed, MT. Coogan was appointed and the hearing was begun in one of the rooms in the county building.
 In 1910 and 1911 the Connecticut Contracting Company built certain sewers and bridges and did other con struction work for the city of Putnam and the company claims that under the contract, for work done outside the contract, about 5000 is due. The city makes denial and the case is one which calls for an examination of the contract and of many accounts.
 Judge Bernard F. Gafiney and Noble k. Pierce are lawyers for the Connec- ticut Contracting Company and Ar. thur l.. Shipman and John F. Carpen' ter for the city of Putnam. The law years said yesterday that the hearing would take at least three days.

 Exhibits from each town and voting district containing the disputed bal lots have been filed with the commit tee on elections under seal and will be taken up for consideration at the next meeting of the committee. Ninety eight disputed ballots were culled from the returns from Putnam, the largest number from any one district. None was found in the returns from the town of Scotland. The disputed ballots in all number TIP. The attorneys in the case leave for home tomorrow morn r. ing, but will return when notified by the chairman of the committee on elections.
