SHOT AT WHILE
GOING TO BARN

DOVER, Del, Oct. 9.-Mr. and Mrs.
C. Wesley Baynard, are living in home
on the outskirts Of Smyrna, which has !
been barricaded because the couple fear /
they will be murdered.
Twice since September % revolver 4
shots have either been fired into a room !
in which the couple were seated, or bull |
lets were fired at Mr.. Baynard as he
left his home to 90 to a barn. The shoot
/ ing mystery is puzzling Kent county au-
thorities, who expect to make an ar
rest.
Mr. Baynard, in September, 1912, was
attacked several times as he rode over
the roads near his home and, becoming
| convinced that some one was planning
to kill him, armed himself. Meeting an
unidentified traveller late one night Bay
nard greeted him.
The answer was volley of bullets.
Baynard, in self defence, fired shotgun
and the next morning Clarence Boyles,
a we'll known young man appeaxed at
physicians Office with the sight of one
eye destroyed by a load of buckshot
Baynard surrendered to the authorities,
but when Boyles said Baynard was not
his assailant the case was dropped.
The Baynards we're immune from
further molestatiOn until September
% of this year. Then, after dusk, as
they sat in a room, the husband
whispered to his wife that he be-
lieved he heard someone on the lawn.
He lowered a curtain and shouted to
his wife to hurry to the hallway
Soon afterward a windowpane was
shattered and two bullets were i'm
bedded in a bookcase. Another bull
let lodged in the weatherboarding
Five distinct reports of shots were
heard.
| Several nights later Baynard was
attacked as he walked from the
house to the barn, about $50 fee
away. The bullets pierced barr
door at the height of a mans head
Authorities have endeavored t
keep a secret the attempt to murder
but developments at the Baynar'
home, which is virtually in a state o
siege. excited the curiosity of tn
neighbors, and they made inquiries
