Insanity Believed
to Haze Caused
Double Tragedy
YOUNGER TAYLOR HAD BROOD
ED OVER HIS BUSINESS
MISFoRTUNEs.
Special to The Neps.

Special to The NeacS.
Jackson, Miss, July 29.-Acute in
sanity caused by brooding over busi-
ness jealousy is assigned as the cause
of the double tragedy enacted on Pearl
street Tuesday morning when Robert
S. Taylor shot and instantly killed his
brother, Thos. E. Taylor. =
Both men were undertaking pThere
we're three funerals in Jackson Sun
day. Thos. Taylor had charge of two
of the events, and Robert Taylor had
none. This fact, it is believed, pro-
voked the murderous mania, and re-
suited in the double tragedy.
For the past several months the
business of Thos. E. Taylor had been
prospering, while that of his younger
brother had not. Both men were quite
popular in the community. but when
they we're in partnership Thos. Taylor
was always the outside man." being
an exceptionally good mixer, while
Robert M. Taylor stayed in the under
taking parlors and looked after details
Of the work.
Dissolution of the partnership en-
gendered very bitter personal feelings
between the two brothers. Litigation
in the courts followed when Thos. E
Taylor, after an absence of severa
months from the city, set up in bust
ness for himself. The younger bro
ther claimed that the dissolution
agreement provided that Thos. Taylo
should not again engage in the under
taking business in jackson. The 81
preme Court refused to place that col
struction on the contract, and tn
. business of the elder brother steadil
1 prospered, while that of Robert su
fered corresponding decline.
The two men had not spoken to eaC
r other for many months.
Friends of both men believe tn
Robert Taylor had been planning Il
killing for several hours, probab
ever since Sunday. The fact that
had a shotgun at the Pearl street G
al tablishment, and pistol in his pocke
te tends to confirm this theory, for /

Laurin and Brooklyn to the county
