MURDERS GIRL
AT BUCKINGHAM
John Cope Kills His lS-Year Old
Niece, Florence Cope, With
Load From Shotgun.
DRUNKEN ASSASSIN GETS AWAY

Florence Cope, the eighteen-year
old daughter of Clinton Cope, of
near Buckingham Valley, was shot
and killed by her uncle, John Cope,
on Monday evening.
The uncle, who is Al years of age,
resides in Philadelphia. He came to
his brothers home shortly after 9
o'clock Monday evening. Mrs. Cope
and her four daughters were upstairs
and Cope threatened to shoot her if
she didn't come down and shake
hands with him.
Mrs. Cope had gone downstairs,
and the girls followed. Florence
saw her uncle with the shotgun, and
in an attempt to save her mother,
received the whole charge of shot.
It tore an inch hole through her
stomach and intestines, lodging in
the spine. Despite her mortal in
iuries the girl held on to the gun
and was dragged about fifteen feet.
Chester Cope, a brother, was just
entering the kitchen when the shot
was fired. He wrested the gun from
the uncle, but in the excitement over
the girls condition, the man made
his escape. The girls father, who
had been cutting corn by moonlight,
was called and promptly summoned
medical aid, but she died before any
thing could be done for her.
Miss Cope was a graduate of the
Hughesian School, Buckingham, and
would have graduated from the
Philadelphia Business College in one
more day, to take good position
tomorrow morning.
The funeral of the murdered girl
will be held from her late home on
Friday afternoon at 100, with inter-
ment at Mechanicsville.
The Bucks County Commissioners
offered reward of 5000 for the ar
rest of John Cope. Local posses and
