Captain W. W. of Boonville, J. Ed., of Kansas City, Mrs. Dr. Fryor, of Kingsville, and

family.-Tipton (Mo) Times.

Mr. Taliaferro was a native of this county but left here more than half a century ago.

He was a cousin of Maj. John Taliaferro, of this city, and married a sister of our fellow

townsman, Ed. T. Woodward.

The Democrat, Wednesday, December 14, 1892.

Taliaferro, John Death of John Taliaferro.

We are not an old people and Winchester is not an old town when one life spans more

than three-fourths of our corporate existence, and this is the case with the life of John

Taliaferro who died at his home on the corner of Maple and Hickman streets at an early

hour Saturday morning. He had seen Winchester grow from a little village of a few

hundred inhabitants, none of whom had ever dreamed of water works, telephones,

electric lights or even coal oil, to a city with metropolitan advantages and metropolitan

airs, and all this growth he had been an important factor.

His father, Hay Taliaferro, and mother Elizabeth Tutt Taliaferro, the former born in

1770 and the latter in 1780, came here from Virginia in 1800, and for a while operated

the hotel which is now the Rees House. His father died of his wounds received in the

Revolutionary war. Hay Taliaferro was a well educated man, and was educated at

William and Mary College. He died here in 1835, his wife having preceded him to the

grave years before.

John Taliaferro was born near the suburbs of this city, on what is now the Jackson Ferry

pike, July 24th, 1814, and consequently was in his eighty-fourth year. June 9th, 1842, he

6

was married in the same house in which he died to Miss Lucy Elizabeth Hickman,

daughter of Wm. Hickman and niece of Lieutenant-Governor Hickman, Eld. Thos. P.

Dudley officiating. One son and three daughters were born to them; the former, Charles,

died when quite young; the latter surviving, viz: Mrs. Sarah Morton, Mrs. W. M.

Beckner and Mrs. Dr. McKinley.

In 1830 he entered the dry goods trade and until 1882 was engaged in that and until

1882 was engaged in that business most of the time. In 1842 he went to Lexington and

engaged in business with Alexander and Levi Prewitt. After four years he returned to

Winchester where he had since lived with the exception of a short while in Kenton

county and a shorter one in Saline county, Mo.

While in this city he was in partnership at various times with John Martin and Chas.

Taliaferro; A. L. Ferguson and David Hampton; Thos. Moore and E. S. Jouett; Lewis

Hampton and E. S. Jouett and with Richard French. In his commercial dealing he was

always the soul of honor and had not his goodness of heart caused him to give almost

unlimited credit which was often abused, he would have been wealthy.

He was the last survivor of five brothers and three sisters. One sister, Mary Tutt,

married Judge Richard French and was the mother of Judges C. S. and Jas. French, and

Rev. Richard French. Another, Margaret Aylett, married Edmond Hockaday, who

formerly lived here, but who moved to Missouri and died. Two brothers, Hay and

Philip, were Baptist preachers.

The deceased was brought up in the Episcopal Church, but joined the Presbyterian

Church, and while living in Lexington in 1846 was chosen as Elder of the Church there,

being ordained by Rev. Nathan Hall. The following year, on his return to this city, he

was elected an Elder of the Winchester Church, of which Rev. W. C. Matthews was

then pastor. Ever since that time he has filled that position and at his death was one of

the oldest Elders in point of service in the State.

His title of Major was probably an honorary one as is the case with many Kentuckians,

although he was a Lieutenant in Capt. L. B. Yates’ Company of State Militia in 1838.

He took an interest in politics as he did in everything else, but was not a blatant, bitter

partisan. He was Circuit Clerk from 1808 to 1874, which was the only elective office he

ever held. He was twice Postmaster. Once about the time of the Mexican war and again

during Cleveland’s first administration. He filled these positions with credit to himself

and to the satisfaction of his constituents.

He was remarkably well preserved for a man of his age and until a short time before his

death could be seen on the street almost any day. His death was due to kidney trouble

and the end came quietly and without pain.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church, the services

being conducted by Rev. J. J. Chisholm. The large concourse of sorrowing friends who

followed his remains to the cemetery testified to the high place he held in their

estimation. The following officiated as active pallbearers: N. T. Taylor, J. D. Simpson,

E. S. Jouett, J. W. Poynter, A. B. Hampton, A. H. Sympson, W. M. Harding and G. W.

Strother; and the following as honorary pall-bearers: J. N. Winn, Wash. Miller, E. T.

Woodward, V. W. Bush, W. H. Ecton, J. W. Bean, T. Landsberg, Wm. Fleming, J. W.

Parrish, W. C. Vanmeter.

Resolutions on the Death of Major John Taliaferro.

Whereas it hath pleased God in his mysterious providence to remove from our number,

Major John Taliaferro, who on the 30th day of April ceased from his earthly labors and

entered in to rest, therefore be it Resolved:

1st. That the Presbyterian Church has in the death of this good man lost one of her most

honored and useful members. We note with pleasure the fact that for fifty-six years he

has been numbered with our membership. For fifty-two years he was an Elder of the

Session and for nearly forty years the Superintendent of our Sunday school. And, in all

these relations he rendered diligent and faithful service.

2nd. That as the Session of our Church we hereby express our appreciation of the

fellowship and co-operation we have enjoyed with him during all these years; and we

hereby tender to the bereaved family the assurance of our sympathy in their sorrow, and

we commend them all to the word of God and to the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

3rd. That a copy of these resolutions be handed to the family by the Clerk and another

copy be furnished the city newspapers for publication.

May 8, 1898, J. J. Chisholm, Moderator, J. D. Simpson, Clerk.


An Old Residence

The old residence belonging to the estate of Maj. John Taliaferro, on the corner of

Hickman and Maple streets, has been longer in possession of one family than any other

in the city. Eighty-five years ago it was purchased in an unfinished state by William

Hickman from Mr. Couchman. It afterward descended to his daughter, Mrs. Taliaferro,

and still belongs to the family.

living. All but one, with her husband attended the funeral. She had long been a devout

member of the Christian church, and when the summon came she was calm and

resigned, saying her greatest sorrow was to leave her husband, with whom she lived so

long – that by faith she could see her Savior waiting at the gate for her. She was

followed to the grave by a large procession of relatives and friends, and the many

beautiful designs of flowers on her grave attested the esteem of her many friends and

loved ones. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Peace to her soul and consolation

to the bereaved.

Tarpy, J. C. The Winchester Sun Fri., 3-23-1928

Tarpy, John C. Our gallant chief

John Tarpy, Chief of Police, is in a dangerous condition at his home on South Main

Street. A number of burglaries have been committed in this vicinity. February 28th, the

post office and store of Clint Pharis, at Ruckerville, was robbed. Thirty-five dollars in

currency, eight dollars in pennies, watches, razors and other good were taken. Tom

Oldham had sold some of the articles here and at Mt. Sterling. About nine o’clock

Saturday night, Chief Tarpy with patrolman Tanner, Ballard and Mal Tarpy, went to

Oldham’s home in the north end to arrest him. After surrounding the house, the Chief

and Ballard were admitted by Oldham. On demand for his gun, Oldham said, “Alright.”

As he drew his gun he began to fire, shooting Tarpy in the abdomen. Ballard then

grappled with Oldham, who fired again, shooting through Ballard’s hat. Ballard then

called on Tarpy to shoot, which he did. Oldham was shot through the head and died

instantly. At first, there was no hope for the Chief, but at this writing it is believed that

he will get well. Oldham came here from Madison county. In September, 1903, he was

sent to the pen for five years for stealing Woods McCord’s horse. He was pardoned a

few months since. He was a desperate character, and had boasted that he would not be

taken alive. Mr. Tarpy is one of the best police officers Winchester ever had, and his

friends are not confined to any one class.

Chief of Police John C. Tarpy

Succumbs to wounds received in noble discharge of duty

Chief Tarpy is dead, and the veil of universal sorrow has enwrapped our city. During

the past week his life seemed balanced on the threshold of death, and many were the

whispered prayers ascending to heaven for his recovery. His upright character and noble

temperament had endeared him to everyone, and his friends were numbered as the

sands of the sea. On the night of March 23rd, Mr. Tarpy was wounded by Tom Oldham,

whom he was attempting to arrest. At first, great hopes were entertained for his

recovery, but complications arose, and death resulted at an early hour Tuesday

afternoon. Mr. Tarpy was a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Fire department,

and both bodies attended the funeral. Mr. Tarpy had been an efficient member of the

Police department for about twelve years, and died bravely and nobly as he had always

lived. The esteem in which he was held in this community was betoken by the

handsome and numerous floral tributes. Following is the proclamation issued by Mayor

Attersall, Tuesday, which was universally observed: “Chief of Police John C. Tarpy,

having died of wounds received while discharging a public duty, and 4 o’clock Tuesday

afternoon having been named as the hour for his burial, as an evidence of respect for

this faithful officer, all city offices are ordered to remain closed today, and the

proprietors of all stores and other business houses are requested to keep their places of

business closed from 4 o’clock until 5 this afternoon, April 2, 1907.” He is survived by

his wife, mother, three brothers and a sister. Resolutions were adopted by the Fire

department as follows: whereas, Mr. J.C. Tarpy, who having been for a number of years

a valued member of this department, having died, therefore be it resolved: First, that in

the death of Mr. J.C. Tarpy, who lost his life in the noble discharge of his duty, the city

has lost a brave and faithful official, the community an honorable and upright citizen,

and this department a valued and efficient member. Second, that the department tenders

to the family of the deceased its heartfelt sympathy in the hour of their bereavement.

Third, that this department as a body attend the funeral. Fourth, that a copy of these

resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the department, a copy be sent to the family,

and that same shall be published in each of the local papers. W.P. Winn, Jas T. Bohen

and Stoner Ogden.

The Winchester Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, April 4, 1907

In memoriam

We, the Mayor and Board of Council of the city of Winchester in regular session

assembled, desire to record our high esteem and regard for the late John C. Tarpy, Chief

of Police, who came to his death by the hand of an assassin on the night of March 23rd,

1907, while in the faithful discharge of his duty. Death is a tragedy in any form. It

makes the human hearth sick and under such circumstances, shocks the whole

community. We pity the suffering and pain, we cling to the victim and pray for relief

that can on earth hardly be expected. The result is inevitable. All is over, and brother,

official, neighbor, friend and defender is no more. We commend his spirit to God who

gave it. At the beginning of our term we elected John C. Tarpy Chief of Police for the

city, a position involving many duties of great importance to the law abiding citizens of

the community. Mr. Tarpy qualified and discharged those duties so faithfully we have

rejoiced in the fact that we selected him for that high position. On each occasion when it

was necessary to perform his duty, he did it with courage, nobly. The circumstances

never daunted him, though surrounded by perils that might have intimidated a less

determined and courageous man. The law breakers of the community appreciated his

resolve to discharge his duty and feared his dauntless courage. While he was brave and

courageous, he was sober, cool, gentlemanly and unobtrusive; he was not quick to

anger, but held a perfect control over his actions, and always had the deepest desire to

perform his duty without violence; these traits he manifested on every occasion. Had he

been less gentle the opportunity would not have been afforded as it was, that resulted in

his untimely death. We knew him to be lovable in every walk of life; to be honorable on

all occasions. To his memory, we will ever accord that high place that duty well done

deserves at our hands; and we trust he will be received and made perfect beyond the

grave. Resolved, That this memorial be spread at large upon the records of the city as an

humble token of our love and esteem; that a copy be furnished to the widow and family

of the deceased. W.A. Attersall, Mayor, S.B. Tracy, Clerk.

Tate, Mary Miss Mary Tate was buried at Connersville, Ind., a few days ago. She was an eccentric

old maid and it was her special request that instead of a sermon at her funeral the

minister should deliver a temperance lecture, the same as if the deceased were talking to

the audience herself. This was done, Rev. Mr. Joyce carrying out the instructions to the

letter. Another singular thing was that she requested that her body be laid out on the

piano, which was done. She was a fine music teacher and a great temperance worker.

“On the 3rd of this month George Tatum died at the Infirmary and undertakers Collins

and Brown embalmed his body. It was kept in the undertaker’s room eleven days, and

last Saturday looked as life-like and natural as if he were asleep. The flesh was soft and

limbs flexible and not rigid as in ordinary cases of death. This is the first real success at

embalming ever performed in Richmond. Tatum came from Indiana a short time before

his death, looking for work, when he was taken sick and died. Several years ago he

worked at the blacksmith trade at Gess’ shop, three miles North of town, and was said

to be an excellent workman. His wife arrived Friday to get the remains. Buried in the

cemetery on Sunday.”

his power of locomotion and utterly disqualified him for any kind of business. The

family and friends had observed that he was gradually becoming worse, and were

hopeless of his recovery but did not anticipate so early a death, and were greatly

shocked when it took place. He was never confined to his bed. Funeral services were

held at his home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. He was buried in the Winchester

cemetery. He leaves a wife, and a grown son and daughter.

Taulbee, Andy His Father Did It

Andy Taulbee, who died a few weeks ago near Campton, in Wolfe county, was

supposed to have broken his neck by a fall from a fence. Now a story told by his son,

aged six, to the effect that his grandfather, Wm. Taulbee, killed Andy, seems to be

substantiated. The body was exhumed and the club wounds found on the head, and a

club with which the boy said the deed was committed was found in the place he said it

was hidden. The elder Taulbee has fled, and a posse is searching for him. He is

believed to be insane.

Taulbee, Denzil Denzil Taulbee Killed In Franklin

Frankfort, KY. Denzil Taulbee, 36, was shot and killed Friday by two state policemen

after he had shot up the inside of his house with a shotgun and wounded one of the

officers.

Taulbee was a former resident of Winchester.

Sgt. Leslie Pyles and Cpl. Rollie Johnson said they went to Taulbee’s home to

investigate a report that he was “shooting up the neighborhood.”

The officers said they approached the two front entrances to the house and asked

Taulbee to come out. They said Taulbee fired through a front screen and wounded

Pyles in the face and shoulder.

The troopers said Taulbee fired again at Pyles. Both officers shot Taulbee. He died

immediately.

Pyle’s condition was not believed serious.

Taulbee’s reasons for the shooting spree could not be determined. He was alone in the

house.

He was a native of Clark County and was a member of the Ford Christian Church.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Mary Katherine Bush Taulbee, Frankfort; his parents,

Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Taulbee, Winchester; three children, Charles, Norma and Donnie

Taulbee; five sisters, Mrs. Gloyd Carpenter, Mrs. Albert Young and Miss Charlene

Taulbee, all of Winchester; Mrs. Eugene Thomas, Clark County, and Miss Ilene

Taulbee, Portsmouth, Ohio; and three brothers, Eugene Taulbee, Edgar Taulbee and

James Taulbee, all of Winchester.

The body is at the Harrod Brothers Funeral Home at Frankfort, and will be taken to the

Scobee Funeral Home, Winchester, Sunday.

Taulbee, Lewis The notorious Buck Combs, the terror of Breathitt county was killed Thursday by Geo.

Stevens, who lives in Montgomery county not far from Thomson. It appears that bad

blood has existed for some time between Combs and some of the Hargis family who are

cousins of Stevens. On the day before the killing, Combs got the drop on Stevens and

made him beg for his life. At the time of his death, Combs fired several shots from a

Winchester rifle into Hargis’s store where Stevens was staying, but without effect.

Stevens returned the fire with a shotgun loaded with buckshot killing Combs instantly.

Last November Combs killed Lewis Taulbee, a cousin of Congressman Taulbee, and

when put in jail broke out and openly defied authorities. He was a principal in many

shooting scrapes and several years ago shot Hiram Jett through the shoulder. Stevens is

said to be a quiet young man and a good citizen.

Taulbee, William Preston DEATH LOVES A SHINING MARK

Hon Pres. Taulbee Dies From a Bullet at the Hands of Charlie Kincaid

As briefly stated in our last issue, Hon. Pres. Taulbee was shot in the capitol building at

Washington, on February 28, by Chas. E. Kincaid, the Washington correspondent of the

Louisville times. The shooting was the result of a feud of several years standing, and

originated while Mr. Taulbee was serving his first term as a member of Congress from

this district. At that time Mr. Kincaid held a position under Doorkeeper Donelson, and

through some action on the part of Mr. Taulbee he lost it. Since that time Kincaid has

been the bitter enemy of Taulbee, and the mountain Congressman has naturally had

little love for him. The next act in the series of occurrences that finally culminated in

the tragedy that has deprived our State of one of its most gifted sons, happened during

Mr. Taulbee’s second term. At that time the Louisville times published a sensational

article from its Washington correspondent, Kincaid, alleging that Congressman Taulbee

and a certain female employee of the Patent Office Department had been detected in a

very compromising position. Whether this was true or untrue nobody knows, but it is a

fact that the Times was the only paper of prominence in this or adjoining States that

published it. Mr. Taulbee, with rare good sense, kept his mouth shut concerning the

matter, and it soon ceased to be talked of. Shortly before the tragedy it is alleged that

Taulbee met Kincaid, called him a coward and pulled his nose. Kincaid procured a

pistol, and on meeting Taulbee a short while afterward fired, the ball entering the face

just under the left eye. The attending physicians pronounced the wound not dangerous,

as it was thought the ball had lodged in the throat. If turned out that it had taken

another direction and lodged near the base of the brain producing inflammation and

death. Immediately after the shooting Kincaid was arrested, and admitted to bail, but as

soon as his victim died he was again arrested and lodged in jail. He is suffering from

nervous prostration, and is probably in a pretty tight place, as the laws of the District of

Columbia are said to be much more severe than those of this State in such affairs.

Ex-Congressman, Taulbee, of Kentucky, who was shot by Chas. Kincaid, also of this

State, in Washington, on February 28, died on the morning of March 11, at 5 o’clock, in

that city. William Preston Taulbee was born in Morgan county, Kentucky, October 22,

1854, was educated in private county schools; studied for the ministry from 1875 to

1878; and for the law from 1878 to 1881; was admitted to the bar in 1881; resided at

Salyersville, Ky.; in 1878; was elected clerk of the county court of Magoffin county,

Ky.; was re-elected in 1882, 18 1884 was elected a Representative from Kentucky to

the Forty-ninth Congress, and re-elected in 1886. Since that time he has resided in

Washington. He brought himself into national prominence at the Kentucky State

Convention at Louisville that nominated Gen. Buckner, by making a speech bitterly

assailing the administration of President Cleveland. The Louisville times thus voices

the sentiments of all who knew him. “The death by violence of Wm. P. Taulbee in the

prime of life can not but excite the sympathy of the whole country, four years ago no

American had prospect of a brighter future. “Young, eloquent, ambitious, gifted with a

superb physique, popular at home and admired abroad, he was a man to be envied and

his career one to be emulated. “Sprung from the people, his triumph was their victory,

and illustrated the glory of a system whose genius is the equality of citizenship.”

The Winchester Democrat, Wednesday, March 19, 1890.

Charlie Kincaid, the slayer of Hon. W. P. Taulbee was Monday admitted to bail in the

sum of $20,000.

The trial of Charlie Kincaid, for killing of Congressman Pres. Taulbee, is set for March

16th.

The Winchester Democrat, Wednesday, January 28, 1891

On Wednesday night the trial of Charles Kincaid for the killing of Congressman

Taulbee in February 1890, ended in a verdict of acquittal on the ground of self defense,

after having been engaged on the case for several weeks. The jury consisted of eight

white men and four negroes. One of the jurors was to have been married on the first

Tuesday after the trial began, but could not secure his release and was thus cheated out

of a fortnight of wedded bliss.

THE three little boys of the Hon. W. P. Taulbee, the murdered Congressman, were

taken to Louisville last week and placed in the Masonic Orphans’ Home.

The Democrat, Wednesday, September 23, 1891.

No section of the State can show a sadder official record than death has made in Eastern

Kentucky within less than twenty years. First, Judge John M. Elliott, of the Court of

Appeals, fell dead on our streets at the hands of an assassin, afterwards sentenced to

death and later declared insane. Judge Richard Reid, of Mt. Sterling, of the Superior

Court, died by his own hand. Senators Joseph Garder, R. M. Pieratt and James S.

Hargis died while in the performance of their official duties. Congressman W. P.

Taulbee was killed in Washington; Judge Van B. Young, of the Superior Court, was

scarcely at rest in the grave before Congressman J. W. Kendall followed him. It is a

mournful record, which all will hope may never be repeated elsewhere.----Frankfort

A. Tracy was appointed Chairman and Rodney Haggard Secretary. A Committee

composed of Capt. Leeland Hathaway, Major John Catherwood, and Lieut. J. H.

Croxton was appointed, who reported the following resolutions expressive of the sense

of the meeting which were adopted:

Whereas, “The Great Captain” has ordered our comrade to the “Eternal Camp Ground,”

and he will no longer appear among us in life’s parade; therefore be it resolved.

1. That we regret the untimely death of our friend and fellow soldier.

2. That his comrades always found him where duty called, with a heart to sympathize

and a hand always ready to help. True in word and true in deed; we recognize in

him many of the elements of the brightly soldier, the gallant gentleman and the

loyal friend. And his faults (and who has none) were those which are too often the

heritage of the gentle and the brave. May they sleep with the bones and only his

virtues live after him.

3. That we attend his funeral and follow his remains in a body to the place of

interment.

4. That we tender our sympathy to his family and kindred.

5. Upon motion the Chair appointed S. T. Talbott, J. L. Wheeler, Grant Jackson, J. H.

Croxton, Rodney Haggard and L. M. Vanmeter to act as pallbearers for the

occasion.

colored man under indictment for murder. He attempted to kick in the door of the

water-closet, and when remonstrated with by the conductor promptly knocked him

down. The latter then shot him. This precipitated a riot and the train men had to defend

their lived by secreting themselves in the baggage car, and drawing their revolvers,

Taylor, Carrie Pleaded Guilty

Sunday night inflicting a fatal wound. The shot was fired with suicidal intent.


Taylor, Chad Killing at Athens

At the Democratic primary in the Athens precinct Monday Chad Taylor and Lucien

Boone, two young men, were seen standing together at some distance from the crowd

talking earnestly together. Suddenly they separated and Boone drew a pistol and killed

Taylor. He then sprang on his horse and made his way rapidly towards Clay’s Ferry;

when he got into the river hills, he abandoned his horse, escaped through the woods,

and has not been found. The two men were step brothers, Taylor’s father having

married Boone’s mother. The older people did not get along well together, and the

woman tried to commit suicide by shooting herself; the ball entered the leg

necessitating amputation from which she died.

Thos. Hart, a cousin of Boone, is said by the Lexington papers to have been with Boone

and an attempt will be made to implicate him.

Word was sent to the authorities here to be on the lookout for Boone.

Chad Taylor, the murdered man, was formerly a trusted employee of the Asher Lumber

Co., at Ford.

The Winchester Democrat, Friday, April 2, 1897

A press dispatch from Lexington says Lucien Boone, who shot and killed Chad Taylor,

his half brother, at Athens a few days ago, has been located on Boone’s Creek, in

Fayette county, but he is armed with a Winchester and two revolvers, and declares he

will not be taken alive.


Tom Hart, who was accused of complicity in the murder of Chad Taylor by Lucien

Boone, was arrested and released on bail by Judge Bullock, of Lexington, Thursday.

25

Hart who is well known knew nothing of the killing and was not concerned in it.


SEVERAL officers from Lexington attempted to arrest Lucien Boone, the murderer of

Chad Taylor, at Athens recently, but Boone escaped on horseback through the Boone’s

creek hills into Madison county. He carried a Winchester rifle and it is thought will

resist arrest.


It is said that Lucien Boone, who recently killed his step-brother, Chad Taylor, was seen

a few days ago near Clay’s Ferry. He is heavily armed and will resist arrest.


In Hiding Near Valley View.

Lucien Boone, wanted at Lexington for murder, and for whom Gov. Bradley has

offered $ 150.00 reward, is said to be hiding in Kentucky river cliffs, above Valley

View.


THE Fayette county Grand Jury this week returned an indictment against Lucien Boone

for the murder of Chad Taylor some time ago. It is said that Boone is in hiding near his

old home in the Kentucky hills and it is rumored that he was seen at Ford recently.


The case of Lucien Boone for killing his stepbrother, Chad Taylor, was called in the

Fayette Circuit Court this week and continued indefinitely. Boone has never been

captured.


Lucien Boone, who killed his step-brother, Chad Taylor, near Athens, has never been

caught but is thought to be hiding in the Kentucky river hills near Clay’s Ferry.


Lucien Boone, who was captured at Barbourville this week and taken to Lexington jail,

will have no examining trial. He has already been indicted for the murder of his step-

brother, Chad. Taylor, and his trial will probably be held during the June criminal term

of the Fayette Circuit Court.


The trial of Lucien Boone for the murder of Chad Taylor is set for Tuesday.

Justice’s Rapid Grind.

Lexington, Ky., June 16.—Squire William J. McNamara was acquitted Tuesday of

decided in about 24 hours.


Hung Jury.

The case of Lucien Boone, charged with the murder of his step-brother, Chad Taylor, at

Athens, was concluded in the Fayette Circuit Court Saturday, resulting in a hung jury. It

is probably that he will be given a new trial at once.


The application of Lucien Boone for bail was tried in the Lexington Circuit court

Wednesday. He was allowed bail in the sum of $4,500, which it is not believed he will

be able to give. His attorneys fought hard to have it fixed at $2,000 as it was thought he

could give that much. Boone was tried for killing his stepbrother, Chad Taylor,

formerly of Ford, and the jury hung.


Murder Case Continued.

In the Fayette Circuit Court the case against Lucien Boone for the murder of his step-

brother, Chad Taylor, of Ford, was called and continued on account of absent witnesses.

Attachments were ordered for the witnesses and bail fixed for each in the sum of

$1,000.


Gave Him Two Years.

After being out for forty-four hours, the jury in the case of Lucien Boone, of Athens,

charged with the murder of his step-brother, Chad Taylor, formerly of Ford, agreed on

a verdict of two years in the penitentiary. The long stay of the jury was not occasioned

by any doubt of his guilt, but by difficulty in fixing his punishment, some of them being

in favor of a life term.

During the progress of the trial, Dick James, formerly of this county, was sent to jail for

contempt of court, by being drunk when called to the witness stand.

Wants a New Trial.

Lucien Boone, who was sentenced by the Fayette circuit Court to two years in the

penitentiary for the killing of his step-brother, Chad Taylor, has applied for a new trial.


Refused a Pardon.

Governor Bradley has refused to pardon Lucien Boone who is serving a two years

sentence in the penitentiary from Fayette county for killing his step-brother Chad.

Taylor.


Must Serve His Time.

Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 1.—Gov. Bradley refused to extend executive clemency in the case

of Lucien Boone, of Fayette county, sentenced to two years imprisonment for

manslaughter, and he will be brought to the penitentiary at once. The crime of which

Boone was convicted, was committed on March 29 of last year at Athens, a suburb of

Lexington, he shooting to death Chad Taylor, his half brother.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday, December 6, 1898

Lucien Boone Pardoned

Gov. Beckham pardoned Lucien Boone of Fayette county, Wednesday. In 1897 he

killed his half brother, Chad Taylor, of Ford, this county. For many months he escaped

arrest but in October, 1898 he received a sentence of two years in the penitentiary.

The Winchester Democrat, Fri., June 15, 1900

Old Crimes Recalled.

The Louisville Post gives a list of the pardons granted by Gov. Beckham during the past

year, among them Charlie Brumback was restored to citizenship. Brumback killed Ben

Web in this city many years ago by shooting him in the head. He was given seventeen

years in the penitentiary, and after serving for a while he was paroled. The time for

which he was sentenced had expired but the action of Gov. Beckham restored him to

citizenship.

Another pardon granted was to Lucien Brown, of Athens, who was given a term in the

pen for the murder of his stepbrother, Chad. Taylor.


Shooting At Clay’s Ferry

I.L. Hubbard, a school teacher of Madison county, was crossing the bridge at Clay’s

Ferry Sunday, when Black Boone, a notorious character of that community, shot him in

the hip. The two men were not acquainted with each other and the shooting was wholly

without provocation. Boone is a brother to Lucein Boone who is serving a term in the

penitentiary for killing Chad Taylor, of Ford, a few years ago.


Taylor, Charles A woman the cause of the trouble

Somerset, Ky., Feb. 20 – Wm. McDaniel, who shot and fatally wounded Charles Taylor

Monday night, was arrested at Oakdale Tuesday night, and Chief of Police R.O. Hughes

will bring him to this place for trial. A woman caused the shooting, it is said.


Taylor, Charles DIED-Col. Chas. Taylor, one of the oldest telegraphers in the country, died at Frankfort

Friday.


Taylor, Charles Dr. Chas. Taylor died Monday at his home in Alabama. From 1865 to 1870 he was

President of Kentucky Wesleyan College. He was for three years a missionary in China

and was also President of a Female College in South Carolina.


Taylor, Charles Reported Drowned

The rumor has been current for some time that Cas Prewitt, son of Cliff Prewitt, one of

the wealthiest farmers of Montgomery county, who with Chas. Taylor of this county,

started for the Klondyke mining region; was drowned in the Yukon river together with

three of his companions. Young Prewitt joined Mr. Taylor at Seattle, and they left that

city via the Skaguay route. The last heard of them at home was a letter dated Oct. 4th at

Fort Bennett.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday, January 4, 1898

Kentucky Boys Safe

The many friends of Caswell Prewitt, Jr. who some months ago started for the Klondike

region, will be glad to learn that he has again been heard from. Mr. R. P. Taylor, of

Clark county, received a few days ago a letter from his brother, Chas. Taylor, who

accompanied Mr. Prewitt. The letter was dated December 1, 1897, and was addressed

from their camp on Stewart river, which river, we find by looking on the map, is in the

heart of the Klondike region. The letter was brief, merely stating that they were all

well.—Mt. Sterling Sentinel-Democrat

Taylor, Charles M. Dr. C. M. Taylor.

The remains of C. M. Taylor arrived in this city from Little Rock, Ark., Monday night.

The funeral exercises at the cemetery Tuesday morning were conducted by Rev. F. B.

Wentworth, of the Episcopal church. The pall bearers were F. H. Dudley, B. F. Curtis,

Capt. Leland Hathaway, J. G. Winn, J. D. Simpson, R. C. Estill, W. W. Estill, Judge

27

Geo. B. Nelson.

Dr. Taylor was a son of John Pendleton Taylor. He was born about five miles west of

this city, 74 years ago. Before the Civil War, he went south. He was surgeon-general of

the Trans-Mississippi Dept. of the Confederate Army. After the War he went to

Arkansas where he became prominent and wealthy. His first wife was Miss Gibson.

They had one daughter, now Mrs. John McClintock, of Lexington, Ky. About nine

years ago he was married to Miss Julia Prewitt, of this county. Two children were born

to them. One is an infant less than a year old. Dr. Taylor was of distinguished lineage

and reflected credit on his ancestors.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, April 20, 1905

Dr. Taylor, who died at his home in Little Rock, Ark., was a brother-in-law of David

Prewitt, and a cousin of our merchant, J. H. Taylor.

To Break Will

It is reported from Lexington that Mrs. Maud McClintock, wife of John McClintock,

will shortly institute legal proceedings to recover her share of her father’s estate, in

Arkansas, which she claims to have been unjustly deprived of by the will of her father,

the late Dr. Chas. Taylor, of Little Rock, Arkansas, recently deceased. The estate is

supposed to be worth $250,000.

Mrs. McClintock is a daughter of Dr. Taylor’s first wife, and was left only a small part

of the estate.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thur., July 27, 1905

Suit To Break Will

Mrs. Maude McClintock, of Lexington, has filed suit at Little Rock, Ark., to break the

will of her father, the late Dr. Charles M. Taylor, who left her five thousand dollars and

the remainder of his real estate was left in trust for his wife and two children by his

second wife. A large amount of personal property was left to his wife absolutely. Dr.

Taylor was born in this county in 1830, and died at Little Rock about a year ago. His

first wife was Mrs. Irene Johnson, of Scott county. Of this marriage was one child,

Maude. After the death of his first wife Dr. Taylor married Miss Julia Prewitt, of this

county. In 1893 Miss Maude Taylor married Mr. John McClintock, formerly of this

city. Her father was opposed to the match and never became reconciled to his daughter.

The estate is said to be worth a half million dollars or more.


To break a will

Hon. Charlie Pronston and Col. John Allen, of Fayette county, have gone to Little Rock,

Arkansas, as attorneys for Mrs. Maud McClintock, wife of John McClintock, in

contesting the will of her father, Dr. Chas. Taylor, who died some months ago. Dr.

Taylor was a native of this county who moved to Arkansas shortly after the war. In

1868 he married the widow of Dr. John Jordan and possessing a handsome fortune. Of

this marriage, the only issue was one daughter, Maud, who married John McClintock in

1893. This marriage was very distasteful to Dr. Taylor who never forgave his daughter.

After remaining a widower many years Dr. Taylor in 1895 married Miss Julia Prewitt,

daughter of Richard Prewitt, of this county, who with a little son and daughter, survive

him. He left an estate said to be worth over half a million dollars. By his will he left

Mrs. McClintock only five thousand dollars, the bulk of the estate being left to his

surviving wife and her children. It is contended as a basis of the suit to break the will

that most of Dr. Taylor’s estate came by his first wife and that it was unjust that her

only child should receive but five thousand dollars.


Mrs. McClintock wins

The suit to break the will of the late Charles M. Taylor, of Little Rock, Arkansas, which

was instituted by Mr. John McClintock, of Lexington, resulted in her favor by a verdict

of the jury rendered at a late hour Saturday night. The estate is valued at $520,000 and

she was left $5,000 by her father with a provision that if she contested the will she was

only to get one cent. By the verdict of the jury she will get about $115,000. Under the

will the bulk of the estate would have gone to his two children by his last wife, as she

was left only about what she would have inherited without a will.


Another trial

When the will of Dr. C. M. Taylor, of Arkansas was probated it was found that he had

left his daughter, Mrs. John McClintock, of Lexington, only five thousand dollars out of

an estate valued at half a million dollars. She brought suit to set aside the will, and the

jury in the lower court sustained her contention. It went to the Supreme court of the

state which reversed the decision of the lower court. This week the attorneys for the will

endeavored to have this opinion extended so as to dismiss the suit to break the will but

the higher court refused to do so. The case now stands as it did at the beginning and a

new trial will be had in the lower court.


Case compromised

Big will case settled by a compromise – Mrs. John McClintock gets part of her father’s

estate

Much interest has been manifested in the suit of Mrs. Maude McClintock, wife of John

28

McClintock, to break the will of her father, Dr. Chas. M. Taylor. Many years ago, Dr.

Taylor, a native of this county, went to Arkansas where he married a widow of much

wealth; she, a few years later died, leaving one child as the result of the marriage, this

child being now Mrs. McClintock. Dr. Taylor afterward married Mrs. Julia Prewitt, of

this county, who with two children, survived him. Dr. Taylor was much opposed to the

marriage of his daughter, Maude to John McClintock, and when the father died he left

her but five thousand dollars. The rest of the estate, valued at more than half a million

dollars was left to the widow and two younger children. Mrs. McClintock brought suit

to break the will and was successful in the lower court. The decision was reversed by

the Court of Appeals and a new trial of the case was set for this week. News was

received here Saturday that a compromise had been effected by which Mrs. McClintock

was to receive one-sixth of the estate, outside the dower, or about fifty thousand dollars,

and pay the costs of the suit.

Kansas City, Mo., April 22.—Dewitt C. Taylor, first lieutenant of veteran company A.

Third regiment, said to be the oldest national guardsman in America, is dead here, aged

82 years. He had an enviable record as a scout under Gen. Hancock. He was born near

Bath, Me., and belonged to the Second Michigan volunteer infantry.


Taylor, Doc A story comes from Middlesborough to this effect: “During the last days of “Doc”

Taylor, hanged at Wise’s Courthouse, Va., several months ago, he constantly told his

keeper and others with whom he talked that he would rise from the dead, and in his

famous funeral oration from his jail window, to the assembled mountaineers, he

reiterated the statement with emphasis. Recently, it is said, he has been seen at the

house in which he lived in Scott county, Va. He came to the house and asked for a drink

of water. After drinking, he said in sepulchral tones: ”I am Doc Taylor,” and

disappeared. Two weeks later he was seen riding along the road near Norton. A few

nights ago he was seen upon the streets of Whitesburg, but when approached he

disappeared. The region where these stories are told is inhabited entirely by

mountaineers who are illiterate and very superstitious and excitement is running high.

Taylor was at one time in his life a leading physician in that district and was known by

nearly every man, woman and child. Those who have seen the apparition declare it to be

he.”

conscientious that it was said of him that “he was so afraid of doing wrong that he did

but little of anything.” Since the war he has been a prominent member of the

Republican party and for a while, held a position in the Internal Revenue service.

Saturday morning Jerry Taylor, colored, and his brother, Joe Taylor, who work in the

lumber yards at Ford, were engaged in loading a car with lumber, when they became

engaged in an argument over some trivial matter, and Jerry, the elder one, attacked his

brother without warning and cut and slashed him in a furious manner. Numerous cuts

and stabs on the breast and a vicious cut in the abdomen which almost disemboweled

the victim attested the fury of the elder brother. The murderer made his escape at once.

The men were sons of Jack Taylor, the well known colored blacksmith, who stands very

high in the estimation of everybody who knows him.

Taylor, Jordan THE Hopkinsville Kentuckian comments after, the following fashion on the recent

hanging of Beverly Adams in that town: “The hanging of a friendless negro in this city

Friday was not the kink of an execution that is most needed in this county to make

criminals respect the law. Out of twelve legal hangings in this county but one of them

ended the career of a white man. There have been plenty of opportunities to punish

white murderers, but somehow or other they have all managed to save their necks, and

most of them their liberty. So it has been with colored criminals who could raise

enough money to resist the law. It is only the poor and friendless negroes who have

been hanged in Christian county during the last forty years. Within the last few years

men just as guilty as Beverly Adams have been turned loose by chicken-hearted juries.

The execution of one guilty prominent citizen, white or colored, would do as much

good as the hanging of a dozen Jordan Taylors and Beverly Adamses.”

Taylor, Josiah G. By A Hidden Foe.

Josiah Taylor Shot From Ambush—His Wounds May Prove Fatal—A Feud Threatens

to Break Out.

Pineville, Ky., July 18.—Josiah G. Taylor is a feud victim. He was shot from ambush

and his wounds are thought to be fatal.

Taylor is a school teacher and a member of the family which for years, waged a feud

with the Lees—a feud that numbers in its record many deaths.

He was riding along the banks of the Pucket creek, returning from his school through

the woods, when a rifle shot rang out and he reeled from his horse. He was found by

friends soon after, weltering in the blood that poured from murderous wounds. There is

little hope for his life.

Such an incident will scarcely be passed unnoticed by the feudists, in whose breasts the

flames of old differences have been smoldering for a long time.

Razor Wounds Fatal To Negro

Killing Laid to Mary Shepherd

Lanier Taylor, 35, colored, died about 9:30 o’clock Tuesday night at 30 North Maple

street, as the result of wounds allegedly inflicted by Mary Shepherd, 31, alias Mary

36

Woodard, also colored. Patrolmen Clay Park and Wilburn Bean, who investigated the

affray, reported that they found Taylor dead when they arrived at the residence. His

throat had been cut with a razor and he died instantly. It was reported the two had been

in an argument and Taylor had hit the negro woman with an oil lamp, cutting a gash in

her head. She immediately produced a straight razor and cut his throat, officers were

informed. The woman surrendered to officers and was immediately taken to the Clark

county hospital for treatment. She will remain in the hospital until doctors permit her

removal, when she will then be placed in the Clark county jail on charges of murder.

Coroner Ben S. Bartlettt conducted an inquest into the case, at the request of Police

Chief Mal Tarpy. At the conclusion of his investigation, Coroner Bartlett announced

that Taylor came to his death “as the result of wounds across his throat inflicted with a

razor of the straight type in the hands of Mary Shepherd.” The Winchester Sun

Wednesday December 9, 1936.

The grand jury, in session for the second time during the current term of court,

dismissed the warrant charging Mary Shepherd, colored, with the fatal stabbing of

Lanier Taylor, colored.

Cynthiana, Ky., Nov. 10 – Lynn Taylor, aged 34, hanged himself with a halter to a

rafter in his mother’s barn Tuesday. Taylor’s body was found at five o’clock Tuesday

afternoon. He had been dead for several hours. The last seen of him alive was early

Tuesday morning. Exactly two weeks ago Tuesday his sweetheart, Miss Mary Burns,

hanged herself in precisely the same way. For some time she had been engaged to Lynn

Taylor, but parental objections had prevented the marriage. These objections were

removed a short time ago and the wedding set for October 26.

All the preparations had been made and the guests wee assembling when word was

received that young Taylor had boarded the north-bound train at Cynthiana and left for

parts unknown. The intended bride’s grief was pathetic. Friends did everything

possible to console her, but she slipped away on pretense of wanting to be alone. She

went straight to the stable and hanged herself.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday November 16, 1897

Taylor, M. G. The death of Capt. J. L. Wheeler brings to mind the fact that death is fast decimating the

ranks of the Muckletonian Club, at one time the most prominent hunting and fishing

club of the South. It was organized in 1872 with eighteen of the most prominent men of

Winchester and vicinity as members. In addition to scores of minor trips they

occasionally went on more extensive ones to Florida, Arkansas, the Pacific Slope, etc.

These trips were truly days of true pleasure and good fellowship. Not a word of discord

ever marred the harmony of their meetings. Col. R. N. Winn was the first President and

still fills that position, although the remaining members are so few and scattered that the

meetings of late years have been few. The first member die was John J. Eubank,

followed in succession by Ben P. Goff, S. Grant Jackson, M. G. Taylor, Jas. D. Gay,

David A. Gay, D. T. Buckner, John W. Prewitt, John A. Judy and J. L. Wheeler. The

surviving members are R. N. Winn, Leeland Hathaway, J. D. Simpson, A. H. Sympson,

and T. F. Phillips, of this city; Geo. R. Snyder and R. J. Snyder, of Louisville and Sam

McKee, of Philadelphia. Ten have passed over the dark river while eight await the

summons to join their comrades on the other side.

Taylor, Mary T. Member of an Old Family Dead

Miss Mary T. Taylor, who died in Lexington on the 21st inst., was a sister of the late

Hubbard B. Taylor, of this county, and daughter of the late Reuben T. Taylor, who

together with his older brother, Hubbard Taylor, was among the earliest settlers of Clark

county. General James Taylor came out a few years before Hubbard and Reuben and

settled at Newport, Ky. These three brothers took a prominent part in the early

settlement of their respective counties.

The death of Miss Taylor leaves only one representative of the family, Mrs. Sarah L.

Eginton, widow of the late Charles Eginton, Esq., who for his long career as a lawyer at

this bar, over fifty years, is well known to all the older citizens of the county.

Mrs. Eginton and Miss Taylor are aunts of the Hon. F. H. Dudley, of this city.

Hubbard Taylor, Esq., was the grand-father of the late Dr. Hubbard Taylor whose

memory will remain fresh in many hearts in this community.


Wills Probated

The wills of Mrs. Sarah L. Eginton and her sister, Miss Mary T. Taylor, were probated

Monday, F. H. Dudley being named in each as executor. Mrs. Eginton recites the fact

that most of property had been distributed and that her estate would consist of only the

unspent income from the life interest of the property left by her husband, Charles

Eginton. Mr. Dudley as trustee was directed to use this in beautifying and improving the

cemetery lot. The will was dated in May, 1896.

Miss Mary Taylor’s will was made in December, 1894. She leaves $100 to Raymond C.

Gray and the remainder to her brothers and sisters, the children of those dead to receive

the share that would otherwise have gone to the parents. Those mentioned are Francis

T. Taylor, Ann H. Dudley, James Taylor, Hubbard Taylor, Catherine Taylor, Edmund

Taylor, Sarah L. Eginton, Reuben Taylor and John Taylor. The second wife of Francis

Taylor and her children are not to participate and the share left to Parker Dudley is to be

Taylor, Mrs. Boone Killing at Athens

At the Democratic primary in the Athens precinct Monday Chad Taylor and Lucien

Boone, two young men, were seen standing together at some distance from the crowd

talking earnestly together. Suddenly they separated and Boone drew a pistol and killed

Taylor. He then sprang on his horse and made his way rapidly towards Clay’s Ferry;

when he got into the river hills, he abandoned his horse, escaped through the woods,

and has not been found. The two men were step brothers, Taylor’s father having

married Boone’s mother. The older people did not get along well together, and the

woman tried to commit suicide by shooting herself; the ball entered the leg

necessitating amputation from which she died.

Thos. Hart, a cousin of Boone, is said by the Lexington papers to have been with Boone

and an attempt will be made to implicate him.

Word was sent to the authorities here to be on the lookout for Boone.

Chad Taylor, the murdered man, was formerly a trusted employee of the Asher Lumber

Co., at Ford.

Taylor, Mrs. Carrie Mrs. R.P. Taylor

Death of the most estimable lady in Lexington yesterday morning

38

Mrs. Carrie Taylor, wife of R. Pendleton Taylor, died at nine o’clock yesterday morning

at a Lexington hospital where she had been for sometime. She leaves a husband and six

children to mourn her death. Before her marriage she was Miss Prewitt, a daughter of

the late Squire Wm. Prewitt. She was a lady of lovely Christian character, whose many

kind and charitable deeds, performed in her sweet and gentle manner, will long be

remembered, and her memory cherished by those who knew and loved her best. She

possessed many beautiful traits, but perhaps the most edifying and admirable were her

devotion and unselfish love for home, husband and children. Here in this sacred

sanctuary her sun shone resplendent, and her kind hands and loving heart never wearied

in ministrations of love. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the

bereaved husband and motherless children, but the inheritance she leaves them of a

beautifully spent life, will be cherished as a priceless legacy. The remains were brought

to this city yesterday afternoon, but up to the hour of going to press no funeral

arrangements had been made.


Laid to rest

The funeral of Mrs. R.P. Taylor, who died at St. Joseph’s hospital, Lexington, Monday

morning, was held at the family residence on French Avenue, Tuesday afternoon at four

o’clock, with services by Rev. O.J. Chandler. Mrs. Taylor had been ill for some time of

stomach trouble and had been removed to the hospital for treatment. She was a member

of one of the oldest and best known families in Central Kentucky, and her death has

caused wide spread sorrow. Her remains were laid to rest in the Winchester cemetery.

The pallbearers were Messrs, S.D. Goff, N.P. Gay, B.F. Curtis, D.L. Pendleton, S.T.

Prewitt, J.E. Gaitskill, H.L. Quisenberry, and T.G. Barrow.


Taylor, Mrs. Carrie Mae The funeral of Mrs. Carrie Mae Taylor, who died unexpectedly, will be conducted at 2

about much, she was always the center of much attention from her friends, and her

home was noted for its unstinted hospitality and cheering welcome to all. A devout and

conscientious Christian, she never swerved from the noble and upright, and her life was

a true example of Christianity and consistency. Besides her husband Mrs. Taylor is

survived by three sons, Messrs. R.J., of Honolula, Sandwich Islands, W.G., of

Knoxville, Tennessee, R.S. Jr., and two daughters, Misses Ettie and Lucy, of this

county. The funeral was held at the family residence near Becknerville, Wednesday

afternoon at one o’clock, with services by Eld. J. W. McGarvey Sr., and the burial was

in the Winchester cemetery. The following acted as pall bearers: J.W. Battaile, S.T.

Tevis, J.J. Fishback, W.M. Jones, J.G. Lyle, Graham Taylor. The loss occasioned by the

death of this good woman is not confined to the family alone, but to all those who had

the happiness of knowing her.

Taylor, Mrs. Thomas Ann Death of Mrs. Taylor

Mrs. Thomas Ann Taylor died at her residence on South Main street at an early hour

yesterday morning. Her death was very unexpected as she was on the street a few days

ago. A deep cold developed into pneumonia and the end came soon. Her maiden name

was Atkinson, and she was born here sixty-eight years ago. She married Matt Taylor, a

prominent business man of this city, who died a score of years ago or more. Left a

widow with three daughters, she bravely took up the battle of life alone and has lived in

and for her children. Three daughters survive her, Mrs. Stuart Johnson, of Lexington,

Mrs. Will Delaney, of Wichita, Kansas, and Miss Lizzie Taylor, who has resided with

her mother, but who for some months has been visiting her sister at Wichita. The

deceased had long been a member of the First Christian church.

Her daughter, Miss Lizzie, was telegraphed for when her mother’s illness first assumed

a serious form and is now on the road. The funeral arrangements will not be made until

her arrival.


Mrs. Taylor’s will directs that her property be placed with a trustee for the benefit of her

daughter, Miss A.E. Taylor so long as she remains unmarried. When she marries the

income from the estate is to be divided equally between the three daughters of testator,

Miss Taylor, Mrs. Lula Johnson and Mrs. Florence Dulaney. If either should die

without issue, the property is to go to the others. The Court appointed F.H. Dudley as

trustee.

Taylor, Nannie AA Fatal Shot

At 9 o’clock Friday in “Buck,” on the steps in front of Eliza Boone’s eating house Eli

Cary, 22, shot and killed Nannie Taylor, 18, both colored. So far as can be learned

there was no justification for the deed.

The girl was of bad repute, but her father, Tim Taylor, is a worthy citizen. Carey is a

bad character.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thur., Aug. 4, 1904

Where Is Eli?

Since he murdered Nannie Taylor in Bucktown last Friday night and got away, Eli

Cary, colored, has “been seen” in a dozen places, and telephone messages have called

the officers miles in the county only to find that their informants were mistaken.

Rumors as to Cary’s whereabouts are as numerous as they are unreliable. The most

persistent is that Cary is still in Bucktown, protected by his friends, and frequently visits

his old haunts disguised as a woman. The officers have made diligent search but so far

have been unable to locate the murderer.


Got Eli.

Slayer of Nannie Taylor Safely Locked in the Clark County Jail.

“Middlesboro, Ky., Aug. 24 “J. T. Stokely, Winchester, Ky.

“Got Eli, Will arrive there with him at 2:45 p. m. Woodson McCord.”

So ran a telegram received by Deputy Stokely yesterday morning.

Four weeks ago Eli Cary, colored, apparently without provocation, shot and killed

Nannie Taylor, a young colored woman of the town. Cary escaped and so effectively

covered his trail that the officers, although they put forth every effort and diligently

pursued every theory advanced, were baffled. Numerous false clues were run down, the

search extending in one direction as far as Pittsburg, Pa. The officers did not, however,

lose hope. A reward was offered, a description of the fugitive was sent broadcast, the

wires were freely used, and when a message Tuesday evening from Middlesboro to

Sheriff McCord announced the capture in that city of a negro thought to be Eli Cary

there was cause for congratulation but little surprise.

Sheriff McCord arrived in Middlesboro at 4:55 yesterday morning and readily identified

the prisoner. A few hours later he started back with his charge, arriving here at 2:45

p.m.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, August 25, 1904

Waived Examination

Eli Cary, whose arrest we noted last week, was called before Judge Evans Monday for

examining trial. He waived examination and was committed without bail. Cary shot

and killed Nannie Taylor in Bucktown about a month ago.

The trials of Eli Cary for the murder of Nannie Taylor and Jerry Noland for the murder

of Green Gentry are set for Tuesday next, Sept. 27.

attention could do nothing and he died in convulsions on Saturday. Two cows in the

to be killed. Several citizens of that place had narrow escapes from being bitten by this

rapid dog and now everyone in Valley View is hunting dogs. Richmond Register

Taylor, Turner AA Killing in the county

Saturday, Sherman Hall, a well known white man, who for several years has raised

tobacco for Joe L. Brown, came to town and got drunk and boisterous. He was arrested

and fined, but went with Mr. Brown home in the latter’s buggy. When they arrived at

Mr. Brown’s home, a negro, Turner Taylor, who lives on the place, met them to put

away the horse and vehicle. There had been trouble before between Hall and the negro

concerning some potatoes and Hall made an allusion to it. Nothing further came of the

trouble and both of them went home. There they both armed themselves and returning

they met each other near Mr. Brown’s yard. What passed between them, if anything is

not known, but in a few minutes Hall went to the house and told Mr. Brown that he had

killed the negro, but that the latter fired first. It is said that the negro declared that Hall

fired first. No persons were present but the negro’s wife and she testified before the

Coroners jury that Taylor was not armed. He was shot in the bowels with a shotgun and

lived several hours. Coroner Brinegar held an inquest with the following jury: H.V.

Thompson, W.M. Rob, J.H. Campbell, Simon King, S.C. Haggard and J.W. McKinney.

After an investigation the jury returned a verdict reciting that Taylor came to his death

from a gun shot wound in his bowels inflicted by Sherman Hall, but made no further

comment. It is said that the parties who heard the shots will say that the pistol shot was

fired first thus supporting the claim of Hall that the negro fired first. Officers Bedford

and Tanner arrested Hall that night and lodged him in jail. He was brought before Judge

Evans yesterday morning and his bail was fixed at one thousand dollars which he gave;

his examination trial is set for tomorrow. As Circuit court is now in session it was

thought that the case would be at once brought before the Grand jury and perhaps tried

this week but this cannot be done as the following letter from Judge Benton will

explain: Winchester, Ky., Sept., 25, 1906. I have been frequently asked if I would have

a Grand jury this week to investigate the killing of Turner Taylor by Sherman Hall. The

regular Grand jury for the present term of Circuit court reported last Thursday that it

had finished its work and was then discharged. When I heard of the killing of Turner

Taylor, I determined to empanel a new Grand jury to investigate that killing this week,

but I find that the last Legislature made such changes in the jury law that I cannot

legally have another Grand jury until the December term of court. Respectfully, J.M.

Benton, Circuit judge.


A belligerent spirit

The war spirit was rampant here Saturday night. Besides the killing of the negro Taylor

by Sherman Hall, a couple of negroes named Mason were slightly cut by another negro

whose name we did not learn. John Parks was cut by John Zeke Bush, Jr., both colored.

Bush was arrested and while being conveyed to jail by policeman Ballard the negro

resisted. The officer knocked him down several times but he finally turned the table on

the officer and fled. The latter shot at the fleeing fugitive several times one shot

inflicting a slight wound in the leg. Bush was arrested the next morning and lodged in

jail.

prospective bride flatly refused to say “yes” to the questions the minister propounded.

Taylor, Will AA On Sunday morning the northbound freight train ran over and killed a negro named

Will Taylor, a short distance north of this city. He had gone to sleep on the track and

45

was not seen by the engineer until too late to save him. He was from Richmond and

had been employed for some time by Scott Renick.


Some of our superstitious darkeys are still seeing the ghost of the late Wm. Taylor who

suddenly departed this life at Richmond recently.

Taylor, William AA Will Taylor Hung

The mills of the gods grind slowly, but occasionally the sense of retributive justice

becomes so keenly alive in the minds of the people that a criminal is punished before

the people have forgotten his crime. Such an instance was the hanging of Will Taylor at

Richmond Friday. Murder after murder has stained the excutcheon of our sister county

of every grade from the taking of life in angry strife to the cool, deliberate, premeditated

assassination of a brother, and yet the murderers escaped the gallows. But the last drop

in the full cup came when an honored citizen, an officer of the county was foully

murdered in his own barnyard. This was too much and the aid of lynch laws would

have been invoked had not Judge Scott and other officials promised a speedy and

impartial trial, and used their influence to modify the righteous indignation of the

people.

Our readers are familiar with the crime. A few months ago Squire David Doty became

convinced that his horses and mules were being taken from the stable and ridden at

night. Suspicion rested upon a family of negroes named Taylor who lived on his place.

A negro, Green Kavanaugh, who lived with Doty, told him that if he would go to his

stable at a certain time he would catch the culprit. Doty went and found Will Taylor

leading a mule from the stable. Doty spoke to the negro Taylor and the latter responded

with a pistol shot followed by a couple of others and Doty fell dead. The Taylors and

Kavanaugh were arrested and placed in jail on suspicion. Bloodhounds were procured

and they trailed the perpetrators to the Taylor cabin. All doubts were removed when

Will Taylor, made a confession. He said the other had nothing to do with the crime and

that he alone was guilty. He was promptly tried and sentenced to death. Judge Scott

fixing the date at the earliest day allowed by law. The condemned man, who claimed to

be a preacher, showed no emotion at any time except an increased religious fervor when

preparations for his execution were made. The gallows was erected in the jail yard, but

so high that those on the outside had a full view of the condemned man as he stood on

the scaffold. Beginning the previous day people flocked from all parts of that county

and the surrounding counties and the streets and houses near the jail were packed with

people when the hour for execution came.

It had been expected by many that he would eventually make another confession

implicating the other prisoners, but he stuck to his first statement that they had nothing

to do with it. He made a rambling talk declaring that Whiskey had caused his downfall

and warning others to beware of liquor and concealed weapons. After the cap had been

adjusted over his face, Sheriff Simmons pulled the lever and the trap fell. Everything

worked according to program and Taylor died without pain, his neck being broken.

After hanging until pronounced dead by the physicians he was taken down and the

remains were given to his half brother, Jas. Vaughn, of this city, and they were buried

here Saturday.

This is the first legal hanging in Madison county since some time during the war, when

a negro slave was hung for the murder of Lewis Eades, who lived near the Clark line.

Were legal hangings more numerous in Kentucky there would be fewer such

disgraceful exhibitions of mob violence as have disgraced our State.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday, January 15, 1895.

The pastor of the Winchester M. E. Church, colored, of which murderer William Taylor

was a member, will soon arrange to preach his funeral. When Taylor’s body was taken

to that place for burial the usual funeral oration was not delivered, only the brief burial

ceremony being carried out.—Richmond Pantograph.


An item was published in the Richmond Pantograph last week that does an injustice to

the congregation of Clark’s Chapel, the colored M. E. Church of this city. The item

referred to said that the funeral of Wm. Taylor, the man who was recently hung at

Richmond would be preached at this church. Taylor was not a member of this church

and Rev. W. S. Rollins, the pastor and his entire congregation are bitterly opposed to it

and it is safe to say that some other church will have to be selected if any services are

held.


The Madison county Grand Jury has indicted Abe Taylor, Tom Taylor and Green

Kavanaugh for complicity in the murder of Squire Doty, for which crime Will Taylor

was hung. These negroes were with Will Taylor the night Doty was killed and

notwithstanding the latter insisted they had nothing to do with the killing, it is claimed

that much evidence has been procured to show they were equally guilty. The two

Taylors are now serving terms in the penitentiary for breaking into Jett’s distillery at

Doylesville.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday, April, 23, 1895

TO HANG

The Death Penalty Given to Dillard Rainey.

The Murder of Aaron Adams to Be Avenged. The Majesty of the Law Vindicated.

Not in a spirit of vengeance; not with an outburst of wrath nor with the savage

senselessness of mob violence; but with the calm, dignified majesty of the law has the

blood of Aaron Adams, which cries from the ground, been avenged, or will be when the

sentence of the law is executed. A thrill of horror went through our people when the

causeless, cruel murder was committed, and when the news spread Saturday that the

death penalty had been awarded the murderer, there was a verdict of assent almost

universal, and the only regret was that Matt Rainey, the prisoner’s father, did not

receive the same sentence.

The crime was a most atrocious one, and with no mitigating circumstances. Matt

Rainey and James Henry had differences concerning a piece of land near the mouth of

Upper Howard’s Creek, and Henry had placed Frank Haggard in possession as a tenant.

Rainey hauled the fence from around Haggard’s garden leaving it open to the stock.

Haggard hauled the rails back again and a quarrel on the 13th of last May in which

Rainey shot Haggard inflicting a wound that it was thought would prove fatal. Mrs.

Haggard saw Aaron Adams passing along the road and asked him to go for a doctor.

Adams went after Dr. T. S. Allen, who lived near, and returning with the physician half

an hour later, he was met by Matt Rainey and Dillard Rainey, father and son. Matt was

armed with a gun and Dillard with a pistol. The former raised his gun to shoot Adams,

but was prevented by Dr. Allan. With an oath he told his son to shoot and the latter did

so. As Adams sank down pierced with a number of balls, Matt Rainey savagely tried

again to shoot him.

Deputy Sheriff Eperson was in the neighborhood and arrested Matt Rainey at once.

Dillard escaped, although the officers once got close enough to shoot at him. He went

through the mountains and was finally arrested at Roanoke, Va., under an assumed

name. Matt Rainey was tried last fall and got a life sentence. He took an appeal and

since has been in jail here. Two or three feeble attempts were made to mob him here

last Spring but they lacked leadership. Since he has been in jail he has incurred the ill-

will of the officers and fellow prisoners all whom concur in saying he is the meanest

man with whom they have ever had dealings.

The trial of Dillard Rainey began last Tuesday. The evidence closed Thursday at noon

and was argued until the next morning when it was given to the jury, which brought in a

verdict of guilty and fixing the death penalty the next day. When the prisoner heard it

he turned deathly pale and seemed almost overcome. He soon recovered and was taken

back to jail cursing the jury and vowing that he would never be hung. Neither of the

prisoners have ever shown any remorse for the poor widow and the six helpless

children.

This will make the second sentence pronounced by Judge Scott, the other being the

negro Will Taylor, who was hung for the murder of Squire Doty, in Madison county a

year or two ago.

If Rainey is hung it will make the fourth legal hanging in the county, and the first white

man to be hung.

Many years ago Jesse Winn, a negro, was hung near where Col. R. N. Winn’s residence

now stands, for the murder of Wm. Emerson, a white man, who owned him or had him

hired.

In August, 1839, a young negro named Knight was hung on the Lexington pike near F.

H. Dudley’s. He belonged to Mr. Morris who lived on Stoner and had committed a rape

on a little white girl.

In April, 1841, a negro man, belonging to Daniel Spar, broke into a house and

disemboweled his wife. The latter got well, but the negro was hung for housebreaking.

The negro woman belonged to Geo. Anderson and her assailant was hung near the far

end of the C. and O. trestle on the side of Poynterville.

In November, 1850, Thomas Nichols killed his master, Fred B. Nichols, at a rock

quarry on the Lexington pike. He was hung about Christmas of the same year. The late

Wm. Simpson was Sheriff at the time, and not liking the job of hanging the negro, he

employed Marsh Lawrence to tie the rope. A year or two later Marsh Lawrence was

killed by his brother, Jack Lawrence. The latter fled to Missouri, but was caught,

brought back and sentenced to be hung. He was the first white man in the county to

receive the death sentence, but was finally pardoned by Gov. Powell.

About seventeen years ago, Ben. Plunkett was lynched, being hung to a tree in the

Courthouse yard, the charge being an attempt assault on Miss Annie Ball, now Mrs.

Bradford. In the fall of 1895 Bob Haggard was hung from the bridge on the Muddy

Creek pike for a similar assault on Miss Elkin of near Ford.

No motion has yet been made for a new trial, but this will be done.

Since the death penalty has been given to Dillard, his father says he does not wish a

new trial, but is inclined to accept the life sentence given him last fall. The general

opinion is that if he should secure a new trial he would also be hung.

Taylor-Lee Feud The Taylor-Lee Feud

The Members of the Factions Have Quit Their Work and Are Heavily Arming

Themselves for a Fight.

Pineville, Ky., June 8.—Late reports Wednesday morning from Harlan county say that

the situation between the Taylors and the Lees is growing grave, and the members of

the factions have quit their crops and heavily armed themselves. Eli Howard, a

prominent farmer, was seen here Wednesday morning and stated that a red flag had

been raised at the head of Pucket’s creek by members of one faction, and that three

black spots were placed on the flag, meaning that three had to die. All are heavily

armed with Winchesters, and a general outbreak is expected at any moment. Good

citizens, who are neutral, are keeping quiet and staying close to home, fearing that they

might get mixed up in the affair.


Was Killed From Ambush.

A Member of the Taylor Faction Laid Low at a Spring—Another Kentucky Feud

Fatality.

Middlesboro, Ky., June 13.—A story comes from Harlan county, where the Taylor-Lee

factions are at war, telling that Tom Messer, one of the Taylor faction, was shot down

near his home. There is a threatened outbreak of the old feud and there may be many

deaths in the next 24 hours. It is said Messer went to the spring near his house to get

water and without warning a volley of shots were fired from the bushes.

There seemed to be several in the crowd who fired upon him and they could be heard

riding away as Messer lay dying. Messer’s wife is nearly overcome from sorrow at the

sudden and violent death of her husband. This is the second killing within a fortnight.

More trouble is sure to follow.

The Lee-Taylor War.

Middlesboro, Ky., June 16.—The Lee-Taylor was is still raging in Harlan county. There

has been no more murders but everyone goes armed. The feudists keep their actions

concealed and have warned newspaper men to keep away.


Assuming a Serious Aspect.

A dispatch from Lexington in Saturday’s paper says: “I received a telephone message

from Adj. Gen. Collier, at Frankfort,” said Col. Roger D. Williams, of the First

Regiment Kentucky State Guards, “informing me that the situation in Harlan county is

assuming a serious aspect, and instructing me to have the Captains of the Middlesboro,

Barbourville, Williamsburg, Winchester, and Somerset companies make requisition at

once for complete camp and field equipment.”


By A Hidden Foe.

Josiah Taylor Shot From Ambush—His Wounds May Prove Fatal—A Feud Threatens

to Break Out.

Pineville, Ky., July 18.—Josiah G. Taylor is a feud victim. He was shot from ambush

and his wounds are thought to be fatal.

Taylor is a school teacher and a member of the family which for years, waged a feud

with the Lees—a feud that numbers in its record many deaths.

He was riding along the banks of the Pucket creek, returning from his school through

the woods, when a rifle shot rang out and he reeled from his horse. He was found by

friends soon after, weltering in the blood that poured from murderous wounds. There is

little hope for his life.

Such an incident will scarcely be passed unnoticed by the feudists, in whose breasts the

flames of old differences have been smoldering for a long time.

Tensley, Edward Man Slain And Robbed In Home Here

A 75 year-old man was beaten to death and robbed Saturday in a two-room shack in

Bell’s Alley, according to police and coroner reports today.

The victim was identified as Edward Tensley, Negro, former janitor at the Winchester

port office.

Coroner James w. Bean said the body was found at 2 p.m. Saturday and that the man

had been dead since about 6:30 a.m. that day. Injuries to his head indicated he had been

struck with a heavy object, possible a lead pipe, the coroner said. Pockets in his

clothing were found turned out and an empty wallet was found in a wastebasket, the

coroner said.

Coroner Bean said he was informed that Tensley received two pension checks early

each month. Friends were quoted as saying that he also had a gold watch on his person

when they last saw him on Friday. The body was found by neighbors who summoned

police.

Tensley’s living quarters were in the alley at the rear of the Browning turkey-processing

plant, which fronts on Maple Street.

The coroner said the shack was dilapidated and was infested with rats.

Terry, David S. A TRAGIC ENDING

Last Wednesday morning whilst Justice Stephen G. Field, of the U. S. Supreme Court,

was eating his breakfast at a station in California where the train had stopped for that

meal, he was slapped in the face by Judge David S. Terry, who was drawing back to

repeat the blow when a deputy U. S. Marshall named Nagle sitting at the same table,

drew his revolver and shot Terry dead.

About a year ago, Judge Field ordered Terry to jail for contempt in trying to stab the

same deputy Marshall in his court. Since then Terry has been threatening vengeance,

and is believed that if he met Judge Field, he would assault him with deadly intent.

Judge Field was warned to arm himself but very properly refused to do so, saying that if

a judge of the highest court in the land could not travel his circuit without violating the

law by carrying concealed weapons, free government is a failure and the people need to

be aroused.

It seems that while Terry was assaulting Judge Field, his wife had gone back to the

sleeping car on which they were traveling for his satchel in which he had his pistol , and

was returning with it when her husband was shot. She is the same Miss Hill who sued

Senator Sharon’s estate claiming that she was his widow. Judge Field had decided this

against her, and Judge Terry was her lawyer and afterwards married her. When the

court gave its opinion in this case, she became furious and was very insulting to the

judge who ordered her removed from the court room; and while this was being done,

Judge Terry drew his dagger and assaulted the officer who was obeying the order of the

court, for which Judge Field sent him to jail.

Nagle had been detailed by the Marshall of the district to go around with Judge Field

while in California and keep his eye on Terry, who has always been a desperate man. It

is fortunate that he was present when the assault came, and all will agree that Terry got

what he deserved. He was elected judge of the Supreme Court of California by the

Know Nothings years ago, and killed Senator Broderick before the war in a duel. His

temper was ungovernable and he had been in many desperate affairs. The world is

better off without such people, and although it is unfortunate that he could not be taken

away more regularly—at the end of a rope for instance, all good men in his region will

be thankful that he is gone.

It is strange how blind men become in their passion. Terry had sense and ought to have

known that Judge Field could not have been assaulted or killed with impunity. Men of

his class however, never realize that the time will come when they will meet somebody

just as handy with the pistol or the knife as they are and that they cannot die peacefully.

No one man can bully the world. Even Napoleon with his great armies and an empire

failed in trying to do so.

Property to the Value of $75,000 Destroyed.-One Life Lost.

Princeton, Ky., Aug. 13.-Tuesday at 11 o’clock Princeton was visited with one of the

most disastrous fires in its history and as a result Dr. W. B. Terry, one of the oldest and

best known business men in this part of the state, lies in a critical condition from burns

received. He went down in his cellar beneath his drug store and struck a match and

almost instantly the entire cellar was a mass of flames. He made a rush for the door, but

not before all his clothes had been burned off him. The fire soon reached the main floor

and then spread to the adjoining building, occupied by T. E. Coleman as a dry goods

store. The entire building was consumed, including the opera house, The office of the

Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., Postal Telegraph Co. and the law office of Hodge &

Hodge. The fire then spread to the grocery store of A. Cash & Bro., and the dry goods

store of Henry & Butler, on the ground floor, and Ward Headley, attorney, P. R. Shelby,

physician; Mrs. Dudley, dressmaker; J. T. Eddins and Ed Edwards’ sleeping rooms, and

down the next street to a hotel owned by J. E. Griffin, and Mr. Griffin’s residence and a

large warehouse owned by Eldred & Co. The total loss is estimated at $75,000, with

insurance of about $30,000. Dr. Terry died from the effects of burns received Tuesday

afternoon.

Tevis, Mrs. Emily Berkley Then and Now.

The great change in traveling made in the last half century is hardly appreciated. The

Lexington Herald published the following letter from J. H. Tevis of Polk county, Mo.,

which illustrates this point quite forcibly.

“In March, 1845, my mother and I were returning to our home in Missouri from a visit

to her mother, whose maiden name was Emily Berkley, and who lived near Clay’s

Ferry, Clark county, Kentucky. I was then a child, three years old. We took the stage at

Clay’s Ferry for Lexington. There were sixteen passengers, including three children,

and to accommodate mother and myself Mr. Alexander Franklin, who resided in

Madison county, rode with the driver. When we neared Lexington the horses ran away,

and over-turned the stage opposite the residence of Col. John R. Dunlap. Mr. Franklin

jumped, but was crushed under the stage and died almost immediately. The jar broke

and the glass windows of the stage and all the passengers were more or less cut by the

glass. I have a scar on my forearm now from it. Col. Dunlap, seeing the accident, came

to our rescue, and assisted us all out of the coach, and took us to his home. After our

wounds were dressed we resumed our journey to Lexington. The horses took the front

wheels of the coach with them and came to a halt at the postoffice. Mother and I

resumed our journey from Lexington to Frankfort by rail; the cars the motive power of

which were blind horses. Only blind horses were considered safe for transportation. The

rails were wooden ones. They thought at that day that it was a very rapid transit. From

Frankfort we floated down the Kentucky river on a flatboat to the Ohio river, and there

took a boat to Cairo, where we were transferred to another boat for St. Louis, and from

the latter place were again transferred to a boat on the Missouri river for Boonesville,

Mo. From Boonesville we were transported to our home by a yoke of cattle. We were

two weeks making the trip from Kentucky to Missouri.

Tevis, Robert AA Probable Murder

As the east bound passenger train stopped at Pine Grove Tuesday night, Mose Million,

a negro man informed the people present that the train had killed a man on the tressle, a

few hundred feet further on. On being requested to go back with a party he refused,

saying he was in a hurry and must inform the dead man’s family. He then disappeared

and has not been seen since. On investigation, Bob Tevis was found under the tressle

with two wounds in the forehead, his skull being crushed. He never recovered

consciousness and died in a few hours. The wounds were of such a nature that the train

could not have reasonably inflicted them, and Million was suspected of the crime as the

two men had been together for several days.

Coroner Wills went down the next morning and held an inquest. The jury returned the

following verdict:

We the jury believe the body before us to be that of Bob Tevis and that he met his death

by a blow on the head by some one with murderous intent. We further find that he was

in company with Mose Million, and from the evidence believe that he killed him. Said

killing was done 26th of December, 1899, at Pine Grove, Ky.

Pete Dailey T. J. Harris

Wm. Perkins J. N. Baber

negroes but had been about Pine Grove for a day or two.

Thacker, a deputy sheriff of Clay county, has been shot from ambush and killed. A

mule on which Bob Smith, who accompanied Thacker, was riding was slain, but Bob

Smith lay motionless on the ground for a couple of hours by the side of Thacker

feigning death and thus escaped assassination. Thacker recently testified in court for the

Postponed.

armed Tuesday morning. An unexpected large force of Griffins are near that town well

equipped with Winchester rifles. The jail is being guarded by a large force, as the

inmates, members of their faction. Law abiding citizens of Clay county are clamoring

for troops to attend the trial which is now set for Friday.

Sol. Griffin, the recognized leader of the Clay county Griffin faction. He was escorted

Thacker and Eddy and Floyd Chadwell, charging them with complicity in the crime.

Eddy Chadwell confessed that the plot was made and executed by the Griffins to

revenge the advantage Thacker had give the Philpots by his testimony against the

Griffins after the battle of July 17, in which four Griffins and one Philpot were killed.

The town is full of witnesses and feudists.

Tharp – Day Feud At a primary election held at Quicksand, Clark county, one man was killed, two

mortally wounded and several others slightly injured. The Tharp and Day families have

been at outs for some time and the bad blood culminated in a shooting match, during the

progress of the election. Oliver Tharp and his son, Will, and three of the Day brothers

met. Young Tharp had a row with one of the Days who drew his pistol and fired.

Tharp’s father stepped between the two just in time to receive the load through the

heart. Young Tharp then shot Day in the breast and another one of the Day’s then shot

Tharp. Two or three bystanders were slightly wounded by stray shots.—Louisville

Tharp, Tom (Tricky Tom) “Tricky Tom” Tharp killed.

Tom Tharp, long known in the criminal records of Breathitt county as “Tricky Tom.”

Was shot and instantly killed at Lee City Monday morning. His slayer was Matt Sloan,

a young man of good appearance, but who is locally considered as desperate a character

as “Tricky Tom” himself. The trouble between Tharp and Sloan arose over a crap game

in which Sloan was the loser. Sloan proved to be the quicker man and used his pistol

with such deadly effect that Tharp fell dead at a single shot, with a bullet through his

heart. “Tricky Tom” Tharp was a friend of Curt Jett, and at one time assisted Jett in

making his escape from the Jackson jail. During the Jett-White trial at Cynthiana

Tharp, who was wanted as a witness, attempted to leave the State, but was intercepted

at L. & E. junction by Sheriff McCord, who took him to Cynthiana. Sloan was

immediately arrested and conveyed to the Campton jail, and the Wolfe Circuit Court

being in session Judge Riddell ordered that a special term of the grand jury be

immediately paneled. Sloan will be indicted and tried this week.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, January 28, 1904.

Thirteen-year-old girl

(See Raleigh, Joe)

CIRCUIT COURT is in session this week at Jackson. The Sheriff and jailer came down

Friday and carried up a couple of prisoners who had been confined in Jail here for safe

keeping. One was Joe Raleigh, and the other was Brack Roberts, both charged with

murder. Raleigh killed a thirteen-year-old girl because she refused to ride behind him.

Roberts killed a man named Bowman, and was sentenced to be hung. He appealed, and

while the appeal was pending he broke jail and fled. He was recently apprehended in

Georgia, and brought here. Both are serious cases and the Death penalty is expected in

each.


That precious pair of murderers, Breck Roberts and Joe Raleigh, of Breathitt county, are

again here for safe keeping. Roberts had his second trial at Jackson last week and was

again sent up for life. As before, he has made application for a new trial but will hardly

escape again while it is pending. The trial of Raleigh, who is charged with the murder

of a helpless girl, was continued.


Joe Raleigh, the Breathitt county prisoner confined in jail here charged with the murder

of a young girl has been released on $10,000 bond.

J. B. Thomas, nester of the American turf, owner of Dixiana and _____ ______stock

farms, of this county, breeder of Himyar and Dominion, left his entire estate, valued at

$80,000, except a few bequests to friends and relatives to Margaret Pryer, his faithful

negro housekeeper. To Edward Frazier owner of Costestor, he bequeaves his library,

containing rarest collection of treatises on thoroughbred horses in America. Three of

his farmer negro emploes were remembered with $1,000 each. Judge J. R. Morten is

named executor without security. To his relative, William R. Howe, of Rannockburn,

S. C., Thomas left $5,000.


Maj. Thomas Will

Provides For Interment Of Negro Servant By His Side At Death

Lexington, Ky., June 5

It was learned that Maj. B. G. Thomas, the noted turfman, who died here a month ago,

had inserted a clause in his will providing for interment by his side in Lexington

cemetery of Margaret Pryor, an aged negro servant, at her death. This announcement

created a sensation here. Maj. Thomas lived alone here except for servants and at his

death he left the Pryor woman the bulk of his large estate. She had cared for him for

58

many years and he took this method of showing his appreciation. Mrs. Emma Howe,

Bannock Burn S. C., a relative of Maj. Thomas, who was bequeathed a small amount,

has notified parties interested that she will contest suit because most of the major’s

property was left to the negress. The manager of the Lexington cemetery said no

objection would be made to the proposed interment there.


Suit Filed

Effort To Be Made To Break The Major Thomas Will

Lexington, Ky., June 11

Suit has been filed to the circuit here by Wm. K. Howe and Ethel Howe, of Florence, S.

C. to break the will of the late Major Barrark G. Thomas, famed turfman, who died here

in May. They allege that the negro woman, Margaret Pryor, who for half a century had

been Major Thomas servant, unduly influenced Thomas when his mind was not clear,

thus causing him to leave the bulk of his large estate to her.


Will attacked

James Thomas, of Lancaster, Saturday filed in the Fayette Circuit court a statement on

appeal in which he attacks the will of his first cousin, Major Barak G. Thomas, who

died in May, 1906, and left nearly all of his estate to Margaret Prior, his colored

housekeeper. Shortly after the death of the noted turfman his will was attacked by

relatives in South Carolina, and a compromise was effected. In his statement James

Thomas declared that he did not participate as a beneficiary in the compromise.


Thomas, Bill AA A first class hanging seems to be in order just now. Saturday night Bill Thomas a

young Negro living near Elkin was stabbed to the heart and instantly killed by Matt

George, another Negro commonly known as “Hartshorn”. From the evidence before

the Coroner’s jury the killing was entirely unprovoked, as the parties had not quarreled.

The murderer was brought to town and lodged in jail. He waived an examination

yesterday and was committed to jail without bail.


As we go to press the jury in the case of Matt George, for the killing of Bill Thomas at

Elkin some months ago, brought in a verdict of guilty and fixed his punishment at

confinement in the penitentiary for life.


Efforts are being made to secure a pardon for Matt George or “Hartsborn” as he was

usually called who is serving a life sentence for the murder of Bill Thomas, another

negro at Elkin several years ago. Hartsborn was not considered very bright and a

number of white men around the store had told him of various threats which the

murdered man was alleged to have made merely for the purpose of amusement by

seeing Hartsborn’s rage or fear. No one anticipated serious trouble, but to the surprise

of everyone Hartsborn took matters so seriously that when Thomas appeared he

plunged a knife into him and Thomas died in a little while. Since his incarceration

Hartsborn has made a model prisoner, and some of those recognizant of the

circumstances and feeling that it was not a case of premeditated murder, have interested

themselves in his behalf.


Thomas, Blaine Blaine Thomas a boy of Ashland eleven years old, met his death in a curious manner.

Together with other boys, he was searching around the wreck of the C. and O. depot

life insurance company vs. Duryea B. Thomas. The action involved a policy of $1,000

which had a provision cutting down the amount of insurance in the event the insured

died by his own hand within 2 years. The court holds that it was proven that the insured

was insane when he committed suicide, and the provision does not invalidate or affect

the face value of the policy.

Thomas, Edwin K. Jr. Died—On Saturday evening last, at his home in North Middletown, Ed. K. Thomas Jr.,

aged 25 years. Ed was well and favorably known throughout Clark county, and his

many friends will learn of his demise with sorrow.

The Democrat, Wednesday June 5, 1889

In Bourbon county, on June 1st, at seven o’clock P. M., Edwin, aged 24, son of E. K.

and Callie Jameson Thomas and only brother of the Hon. Claude Thomas. After five

days of intense suffering he quietly breathed his last, just as the “dewy evening was

sprinkling crystal tears on mead and meadow,” in token of it’s sorrow and sympathy for

the bereaved and desolate hearts that bowed in anguish around his dying couch. Young,

joyous and cultured, in the flush of life’s beautiful morning the idol of a home and the

“immediate jewel” of a mother’s heart, his going out of life seems the very irony of

fate. “Life’s morning sunlight was upon his pathway and it’s dew upon the flowers.”

But sorrow for his going is soothed by the thought that he died at his beautiful home

surrounded by friends whose souls were in touch with his. A mother was near who

would have given her own life to have saved the darling boy. A manly brother received

his last message; and as his young life passed away the arms of a devoted father

encircled him. Our dear friend has gone; we are indeed bereft of one we tenderly loved.

As we bent over the fragrant lilies and the gorgeous jonquils above his priceless heart,

they seemed emblems of the purity and beauty of his character. Kind, gentle and manly,

as genial as the sunshine, the flowers will not spring greener over his grave than will

ever be the memory of Eddie Thomas to those who knew and loved him through his

boyhood days into death. V.

Thomas, Etta AA Shot to Death.

Monday about noon at the house of Alice Bean, colored, in the alley running from

Broadway and intersecting Washington street at the Cumberland Presbyterian church,

Etta Thomas, colored, aged about 28, was shot and killed by John Hathaway, colored,

of Jackson, who then tried to kill himself. Four of five shots fired at the woman took

effect, producing instant death. Hathaway then reloaded his pistol and fired several

shots at himself, all of which went wide of the mark. He made no attempt to escape and

was still in the house when officer John Tardy arrived and placed him under arrest. He

was put in jail. It seems that Hathaway was in love with the woman, and because she

refused to live with him, determined to kill her. Coroner Brinegar held an inquest, and

the following verdict was returned. Winchester, Ky., Jan. 4, 1904. We the jury

reviewed the remains and find the dead body to be that of Etta Thomas, and that we

believe from the evidence before us that she came to her death by three pistol shots at

the hands of John Hathaway, and find him guilty of murder in the first degree.

A.N. Swartz, D. H. Parrish, G. G. Gatson, Walter Jones, Guss Aldridge, J. W.

Lawrence.

The same jury also filed a report as follows: We the jury believe that Kid Hite is

accessory to the murder of Etta Thomas. The testimony that implicated Hite was that

he attempted to have Etta Thomas meet Hathaway. Hite was arrested but released later,

the authorities being convinced that the evidence did not incriminate him Hathaway

waived examination and was held to the grand jury.

The Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday, January 7, 1904.

John Hathaway, colored, now in jail charged with the murder of Etta Thomas, colored,

will doubtless be indicted and tried at this term.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thur., Feb. 4, 1904

Circuit Court

The case against John Hathaway, colored, charged with the murder of Etta Thomas,

colored, is set for tomorrow.


Death Sentence

May 10th, 1904, John Hathaway was given the death penalty for killing Etta Thomas.


Court News

In the case of the Commonwealth vs. John Hathaway, colored, who confessed to the

charge of murdering his paramour, Etta Thomas, the jury was out only about ten

minutes and brought in a verdict sentencing the defendant to be hanged. This was

Hathaway’s second trial. Last fall the case was given to a jury upon his confession,

when the jury hung on the degree of punishment.


Circuit Court

Yesterday the Judge refused to grant John Hathaway a new trial. He will probably be

sentenced today and the date of his execution fixed for about July 20th.


To Be Hung July 19

John Hathaway, colored, condemned to die for the murder of Etta Thomas, colored, was

brought Friday morning before Judge Benton who, after the usual preliminaries,

sentenced the prisoner to be hung in the jail yard in this city between the hours of

sunrise and sunset on Tuesday July 19, 1904, in the presence of not more than fifty

persons.

When asked if he had any reason to give why sentence should not be passed Hathaway

made no reply.


Must Hang.

The court of appeals Affirms the Decision of the Lower Court in the Hathaway Case.

The court of appeals Tuesday affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of

John Hathaway, colored, convicted at the April term of the Clark Circuit Court of the

murder of Etta Thomas, colored, and sentenced to be hung.

The crime for which Hathaway must suffer was committed early in January last. He and

the woman had been living together at Jackson. She left him and came to Winchester.

He followed and under pretense of wishing to have a friendly talk gained an interview

with her at the house of Alice Bean. During the conversation he suddenly drew a pistol

from his sleeve and shot her dead.

At the February term of the Court Hathaway confessed, but the jury failed to make a

verdict, eleven being for the death penalty and one for life imprisonment. At the April

term the prisoner was represented by able counsel, but by his own testimony he was

condemned, the result being a verdict of guilty with the death penalty attached.

Hathaway was sentenced to be hung on the 19th day of July, but the case was taken to

the court of appeals and a stay of execution was granted pending the decision of the

higher court.

It now devolves upon Gov. Beckham to fix a time for the execution, which in the event

61

that no petition for rehearing is failed, he will do at the expiration of thirty days.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, October 13, 1904

Hathaway To Die.

The Story of a Man in a Fit of Desperation Murdered His Paramour.

At a few minutes past noon on Monday, Jan. 4th, of this year, John Hathaway shot and

killed Etta Thomas. The tragedy occurred at the home of Alice Bean in this city.

Hathaway did not try to escape. He was tried and at the first trial the jury hung. The

disagreement was on the degree of punishment. A second jury rendered a verdict fixing

the death penalty. From this verdict an appeal was taken. The lower court was

sustained and the governor has fixed Tuesday, Jan. 3rd, 1905, for the day of execution.

It is due the attorneys, Capt. Hathaway and Messrs. V. W. Bush and P. J. Altizer to say

that they have exhausted every legal means in defense of their client and that without

compensation. Hathaway is above the average intelligence for the colored race.

For a number of years he was a jockey and rode races successfully.

Later he worked in hotels and bar rooms. He is married and his wife now lives in

Cincinnati. About five years ago, he became infatuated with Etta Thomas and left his

wife. He and the Thomas woman lived together as man and wife for four years. It was

understood between them that he was to get a divorce when they would be married.

Thanksgiving day the writer spent two hours with Hathaway in his cell and heard his

story. His is the most remarkable case of blind infatuation and insane jealousy that we

have ever known. They were living at Jackson, Ky., where they were employed at a

hotel. Just before Christmas, 1903, there was a separation. The woman came to

Winchester. It is claimed by Hathaway and his statement is corroborated that influences

menated from their city caused the woman to leave him. On the morning of Thursday,

Dec, 31. Hathaway came here to try to induce Etta to go back and live with him again.

He was unable to find her. On the afternoon of the same day he went to Cincinnati and

returned to this city. On the Sunday night following he states that he could neither eat

nor sleep. His story is pathetic. While in Cincinnati, he ordered a turkey dinner and

when it was placed on the table there was celery in it. This called to his mind how Etta

loved celery and her manner of eating it. He was overcome and left the dinner. He did

not go to bed Sunday night. About 8 o’clock Monday morning he went to the section of

the town known as Bucktown, where he met Kid Hite and told him his troubles. Kid

volunteered to help him find Etta. He believed that she was at Alice Bean’s which

proved to be true. At 10:15 Hathaway went to Alice Bean’s. He was not admitted at

first, but there was a stormy talk at the front door which lasted some thirty minutes,

which upon the request of Hathaway he was admitted. The three, John Hathaway, Alice

Bean and Etta Thomas went back in the kitchen. After an interview, lasting more than

an hour, in which rough language was used the Thomas woman said, “I have got a

white man and I will not live with any damned negro s__ of a b____.” Hathaway then

pulled his pistol and shot her dead. He then attempted to shoot himself in the head but

failed.

He is indifferent as to his fate and when he was told that the day had been fixed for his

execution, he showed no change. He says he wants to die and would commit suicide if

the opportunity were offered.

Note.—The above was read to Hathaway and he says it is correct. In addition, he

requests us to say that he came here for no other purpose than to persuade the woman to

return and live with him and that if he had desired to do so, he could have introduced

testimony before the jury that would have mitigated his offense. He bears no malice and

wants to die because Etta Thomas is dead. He also requests us in his behalf to thank the

attorneys who so ably defended him.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, December 1, 1904

Hathaway Baptized

John Hathaway, under sentence of death, for the murder of Etta Thomas, was baptized

in the county jail Monday afternoon. Elder R. Quarles, colored, of Paris, performed the

service.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thur., Dec. 8, 1904

Hathaway.

An earnest appeal has been made to the Governor to commute the sentence of John

Hathaway to imprisonment for life. Jan 4th 1904, he shot and killed Etta Thomas a

woman with whom he had been living for four years until about ten days before that

date when she left him at Jackson, Ky., and came to Winchester. He followed her to

persuade her to live with him again as he states. In the first and only interview they

had, when she said according to his statement, that she would not live with him again as

he states, that she had a white man and would not live with any negro--. He drew his

pistol and fired. Facts are known as to why she left him but they did not appear in his

trial. They are not to his discredit. It was an awful crime; one for which no excuse can

be offered, but we do not believe that it was a premeditated murder. It was his blind

infatuation for the woman and insane jealousy that controlled him for the moment. In

the absence of any action by the Governor the hanging will take place in the jail yard at

8:30 Tuesday morning.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, December 29, 1904.

John Hathaway.

“I want to thank you, Mr. Perry, for all that you have done for me and tried to do for

me. I want you to say through your paper that my heart is full of gratitude to Mr. V.

Bush, Mr. Hamp Bush, Mr. Altizer and Capt. Hathaway; and say, too, that I thank the

Governor for his patient consideration of my case. I want to thank the county officials

62

and all others who have been kind to me.

Please say, too, that I have no feelings of enmity against those who want me to be hung.

I am at peace with the world and with my god, I am ready to go. I killed Etta Thomas

but I did not come here to kill her. I loved her better than my own life. If my fate will be

a warning to my race to lead correct lives, I will be glad.”

The above is the result of an interview with Hathaway at 10 o’clock, Monday night. At

8:55 Tuesday morning he walked to the scaffold without a tremor, the trap was sprung

and his neck was broken. In eight minutes life was extinct. Ten minutes more and his

body was in the coffin, to be buried at the expense of the county. The crime for which

Hathaway was hung was committed Jan. 4th, 1904 in this city. He killed Etta Thomas, a

woman with who he had been living for four years.

There has been few legal hangings in the county. In the early history of the county a

negro woman was hung near what is now the corner of Washington and Highland

streets.

About ten years before the civil war there were two hangings on the Lexington pike and

a little later a negro man was hung for killing his wife in what is now known as

Poynterville.

The scaffold on which Hathaway expiated his life was borrowed from Fayette county

and has the following history.

Henry Mitchell Smith, a negro, was the first man hanged on it, June 2, 1896. The next

was Clarence Vinegar, also colored, who killed a man in Georgetown.

Clarence Williams, a negro, killed a woman in Paris and expiated his crime on this

gallows.

Will McCarty, a white man, was condemned to be hung on it for the murder of his wife

but cheated the gallows by taking poison the night before the day set for the execution.

While the scaffold was built for a double hanging in the first place the purpose was not

carried out until Earl Whitney and Claude O’Brien were hung in July 1902, for the

murder of A. B. Chinn.

The scaffold will not stay in Winchester long as it will be needed in Lexington January

13th, which is the date set for the execution of J. W. Bess for the murder of Mrs. Martin.

The Sun-Sentinel, Thursday, January 5, 1905

The mother of Hathaway, the murderer, who was hanged here in January, is reported

dead in Jackson. This is the third death caused by one jealous temperfit.

Thomas, J. M. Capt. J. M. Thomas.

The death of Capt. J. M. Thomas has removed one of the brightest men in Kentucky. He

was a profound thinker and made few mistakes. He was broad in his views and in no

sense a partisan as some of the papers would make him appear. He was always

interesting in conversation. His fund of general information was remarkable. He was a

many sided man. By business judgement he accumulated a large fortune. He was a

philanthropist. He was well posted in Bible teachings. He was a student of political

economy and with all of his acquired knowledge he was an independent thinker. Some

of his articles written for this paper attracted general attention. He was one of our first

subscribers and frequently complimented and advised with us.

We feel that we have lost a friend and write these lines in sorrow. He was 72 years old.

The burial was at Paris, Ky.

He is survived by his wife and four children. They are Mrs. John Ireland and Mrs.

Thomas Moore, and Messers William R. and Robert Thomas,.

Thomas, Mrs. George Hunt Died—June 17th, Mrs. Geo. Thomas, aged 61 years. Her funeral was preached by

Rev. Henry Brock, and the remains were interred in the family burying ground.


Death is sad in all its forms, but when it comes in the shape of hydrophobia, it is more

than ever to be dreaded. Some two months ago Mrs. George Thomas, a most estimable

lady living on Four Mile, was attacked in her own barnyard by a large dog, which threw

her down and badly lacerated her. As the dog was supposed to be rabid, a madstone was

applied, and as time passed on with no evil effects, fears of hydrophobia passed away.

On Sunday, however symptoms of the dread malady began to be manifested. The victim

speedily grew worse until Wednesday, when she died from it.

Reuben Sympson, an old colored man, was bitten by the same dog, but as yet no traces

of the disease have been manifested.

Mrs. Thomas was about sixty-five years old and came of a family remarkable for it’s

longevity. Her mother, Mrs. Thomas, who lives near Doylesville, Madison county, is

still living, aged about one hundred years, and an aunt died several years ago aged

ninety-six years. Her sister, who lived in Missouri, was killed last year in a railroad

accident near Richmond, just as she was nearing her childhood’s home on a visit for the

first time in thirty years.

killing of Rick Thomas in 1886 and was sentenced to the penitentiary for three years.

The Winchester Democrat, Wednesday 1-23-1889

Bourbon-Mrs. Mary Hunt, who was sent to the penitentiary for killing Rick Thomas, is

engaged in making chairs. She writes that there are thirty women and two babies there.


Bourbon; Mrs. Pat Hunt now in the penitentiary for killing Rick Thomas, says she was

told to do it by her husband who made her believe that she would not be punished for so

doing but that he (Hunt) would be hung if he did it.


Mrs. Pat Hunt, of Paris, who was sent to the penitentiary for three years for the murder

of Rick Thomas, has been pardoned by Gov. Buckner, the pardon being obtained by

Senator Pieratt. Pat Hunt was hung for the murder of James Abnee, a prominent witness

against Mrs. Hunt, and at the time of her husband’s execution, Mrs. Hunt created a

considerable sensation by declaring that she also killed Thomas, and that she assumed

the responsibility because she thought she would escape punishment. She has served

about a year of her term.

Thomas, William Rodgers Death of W.R. Thomas

One of Winchester’s most prominent men the victim of pneumonia – a useful life ended

Mr. William Rodgers Thomas died at his home, corner of Belmont and Maple Streets,

shortly after ten o’clock Sunday night. A week previous he was attacked with grip

which speedily developed into pneumonia. The attending physicians gave but little hope

from the first but Saturday night and Sunday morning it was reported that he was better

and the hopes of his friends revived, but Sunday night he grew worse and the end came

quickly. He was the son of the late Capt. J.M. Thomas, formerly State Senator from this

73

district. He was a native of Bourbon county, and was fifty one years old. For many

years he had charge of Estill Springs but gave that up to take charge of the large

business interests of the Ford Lumber Company, to the Presidency of which he

succeeded at the death of his father. About three years ago he removed from Paris to

this city where he has since resided. He is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss

Carrie Hanson, of Paris, one son, Hanson, who was summoned from school at Andover,

Mass., and reached home but a short time before his father’s death, and one daughter,

Miss Ethel Thomas. Among the relatives of the deceased who are here are his sister,

Mrs. John Ireland and husband, of Lexington, his brother, R.L. Thomas, of

Jacksonville, Florida, his brother-in-law, Thomas Moore, of Paris, and Mr. and Mrs.

J.C. Burnett, of Louisville. Mr. Thomas was a public spirited and generous man who

was foremost in everything that would promote the interest of our city, while his private

benefactions were numerous. In his death Winchester and her interest have suffered a

great loss. The funeral will be held this afternoon at two o’clock at the family residence,

services by Eld. J.H. MacNeill, of this city, and Eld Carey Morgan, of Paris, and the

remains will be buried in the Winchester cemetery.


Funeral of W.R. Thomas

The family residence was crowded Tuesday afternoon at the funeral of W.R. Thomas,

many persons from other cities being in attendance. The services conducted by Elds.

MacNeill, of this city, and Morgan, of Paris, were simple and beautiful. The beauty and

immense number of floral designs attested in a small way the great esteem in which he

was held by people of all classes. Following were the pall bearers: Active – H.H.

Phillips, Lewis Hampton, Wallace Reese, Chester Reese, Dr. D.H. McKinley, Jeff K.

Stewart, Jack Lisle, and Walton Rounsavall. Honorary – R.L. David, of Ford; Dr.

Roberts, of Lexington; D.L. Pendleton, Dr. B.F. Johnson, W.H. Garner, Thomas

Hampton, S.D. Goff, John S. Reese, C.E. Gibbens, C.W. Burt, Dr. C.H. Rees, E.S.

Jouett, and B.R. Jouett.


Mr. Robert Thomas, of Jacksonville, Florida, who was called here by the death of his

brother, W.R. Thomas, left Saturday for his home. He plans to remove his family to this

city at an early date and make Winchester his home.


Will come here to reside

Robert L. Thomas, who for years has been a prominent figure at the various race

courses of this country, will sell his string of racers and move to this city to reside. For

some weeks his horses have been racing in Florida and he has gone there to make

arrangements to dispose his stable. Since the death of his brother, W.R. Thomas, the

management of the affairs of the Ford Lumber Co., at Ford will devolve upon him and

this will consume so much of his time that he will not be able to care for his racing

stable.

The Thirty-Eighth anniversary of the Eventful Day.

Paducah, Ky., March 25.—Monday was the thirty-eighth anniversary of the most

eventful day in the history of Paducah. On March 24, 1864 about 4 p. m. the battle of

Paducah was fought. Gen. Forrest’s command, including hundreds of young

confederates from this immediate section, many of them Paducans made a raid into

Paducah and after driving in the federal pickets, two regiments attacked Ft. Anderson,

where the union troops were quartered.

The killed and wounded on both sides were about thirty men.

The most serious loss was the death of Col. A. P. Thompson, of this city commanding

the 3rd. Kentucky. Several other Paducah soldiers among the confederates were killed

and wounded. Ex-Sheriff Wade, of Marshall county, who participated in the attack,

came here especially to spend the day at the scene of the old fort.

small house belonging to the company, and to save the keg of blasting powder from the

weather he moved it into the kitchen, and his small children playing around with lighted

paper, dropped a spark into the powder.

On March 16th, Garth Thompson, a negro, is to be hung at Madison for murder. When

the county authorities set about fixing a place for the hanging they chose a vacant lot

near the city jail. The city authorities objected to this arrangement and the matter was

laid before Judge Gordon, who issued orders to the Sheriff to build the scaffold in the

courtroom.

The scaffold will be erected over the Judge’s desk and court will be adjourned the

whole day of the hanging. The reason given by Judge Gordon for hanging him in the

Courthouse is that it would cost too much to have an inclosure made as required by law.

Thompson, Harrison

(aka Thomson)

The Hon. Harrison Thompson

The subject of this sketch was born in Clark County, Ky. Sept. 8th 1811. He was the

third son of Matthew and Sibby Thompson both of whom died in this county, the father

with the same disease that terminated the life of the son, they both, as well as others of

the family, having died of heart disease. Mr. Thompson, was a member of a large

family of children, only two of whom survive him. Matthew Thompson, the father of

Harrison was a man of remarkably strong native intellect, and enjoyed the esteem and

confidence of his fellow citizens in a high degree, as is evinced in the fact that he was

more than once called upon to fill positions of trust and honor. In Nov. 1828, Mr.

Thompson was married to Miss Joicy Quisenberry with whom he lived in great

domestic felicity till the hour of his death, and who remains upon the shores of time to

mourn his loss. Perhaps no man in Clark county ever enjoyed a more extended

acquaintance than did Mr. Thompson. Not only was his name as familiar as household

words in almost every family in the county, but he was also personally and familiarly

acquainted with many of the leading politicians and statesmen of the nation. He was a

man of very marked and positive character, indomitable energy and unyielding

perseverance being distinguishing traits in his life. Neither rain, nor snow, nor storms,

nor distance presented any insurmountable obstacle in Mr. Thompson’s way when once

his purpose was matured. This is the secret of his success in life. He undertook a thing

just as though he knew he would succeed, and held on with a firm grasp till his plans

were realized, or every means looking to their accomplishments had been tried. Mr.

Thompson was a man remarkable for his strong attachments to his friends. If you were

his friend, he would stand by you under all circumstances, and would at any time, do

anything within the bounds of reason for your accommodation. If you were not his

friend, he did not want to do with you, and you soon found it out. This is the case with

all men of great positiveness of character. They have their friends and they have their

foes. Another distinguishing characteristic of Mr. Thompson was his affability and

other marked social qualities. He perfectly understood all those courtesies and civilities

that characterize gentlemen in their intercourse with each other, and whenever he met

you, whether upon the highway, surrounded by nothing but fields and forests, or in the

nations capital, in the midst of the splendor and fashion and aristocracy, that crowd the

streets and halls of such a place, it was always with the same cordial, friendly grip and

smile. He was not of that class of men who know you or fail to know you, according to

the circumstances by which you are at the time surrounded. Mr. Thompson was

remarkable for his princely hospitality. He knew just what was due you in his own

house, and it mattered not who was his guest, he felt himself impelled by his high sense

of duty and propriety and courtesy, to extend every attention and kindness in his power,

so that you always felt at ease and at home when under his roof. The poor and

distressed always received a large hearted sympathy from Mr. Thompson. Nor did his

sympathy end in words. He was sympathetic in “deeds, and in truth,” as the many who

have received substantial evidence of his kind heartiness, can bear witness. Being a

man of stirring public spirit, he was intimately associated with the public interests of his

country and State. He was one of the founders of the State Agricultural Society, and

was particularly active in all measures looking to the promotion of agriculture and

industry. Blessed with a strong physical constitution, and endowed with a

discriminating and far seeing mind together with great enterprise and energy, he was, in

all the material interests of general community, truly as public benefaction, who will be

greatly missed. In 1849 he was chosen by his constituents to represent them in the

lower branch of the Legislature, and in 1865 he was elected to the Senate in which

positions, so far as I have been able to learn, he discharged the duties entrusted to him

with satisfaction to all. His death, which occurred on Mar. 14, 1872, has created a

vacuum in our county and community which it will be difficult to fill. He leaves four

children, three children-in-law and several grandchildren and a large circle of friends to

mourn his loss.

Thompson, John A very bloody affair occurred at Mt. Sterling about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, in

which one man was killed outright and several others wounded, some of them

dangerously. The row was commenced by two men named Howard, from Estill county,

who were drunk and got to shooting. One of their shots went through the window of a

grocery, and hit John Thompson, Esq., in the head, killing him instantly. James Young,

the town marshal attempted to arrest the Howards, and was shot and stabbed by them,

and it is thought he will not recover. His cousin, Tom Young, the talented editor of the

Sentinel, went to assist him, and was shot in two places, the right side and the right

breast, but we are glad to learn that his wounds are not at all dangerous. One of the

Howards was shot through the head, and will die. The other was shot in the leg and was

arrested and put in jail. James Young, who was so dangerously wounded, is a brother

of poor Tom Young who committed suicide in this town five years ago. The whole

affair is to be deeply regretted.

Thompson, Leslie On Friday evening on Maple street a horse attached to a buggy containing Leslie

Thompson and Willie Price, became frightened at an umbrella which was raised by the

former and ran off. The vehicle was overturned and demolished and the occupants

thrown violently to the ground. Price escaped unhurt save some slight bruises, but

Thompson did not fare so well. He received a severe kick on the leg slightly fracturing

the bone. He was carried home and was not thought to be seriously hurt. During the

night, however, he became unconscious and he remained in that condition ever since.

Yesterday the symptoms were slightly more favorable and the numerous friends, of Mr.

Thompson and family hope soon to see him on the high road to health.


In our last issue we gave an account of the sad accident which had befallen Mr. Leslie

81

Thompson, of the Winchester National Bank. He remained unconscious from the

morning of the 18th inst., to the time of his death, which occurred Sunday night. He was

about 38 years of age and had lived in various parts of the Union. He was for several

years Cashier of the Exchange Bank of Mt. Sterling, which position he resigned to

accept a similar place with the Winchester National Bank, of this city. During his brief

residence in our midst he had made many friends by his upright dealing and uniform

kindness and courtesy. The remains were taken to Mt. Sterling for interment and the

funeral was preached yesterday at the Second Presbyterian church in that city by Revs.

L. S. McElroy and J. J. Chisolm. Mr. Thompson left a wife and three daughters, to

whom goes out the sympathy of the whole community in this hour of bereavement.


Leslie Thompson, late Cashier of the Winchester National Bank held policies on his life

amounting to $5,ooo.

Thompson, Mrs. Nannie J. Mrs. Richard Thompson Dead

Mrs. Richard Thompson died of consumption at her home on Indian Creek in this

county. Her husband and ten children survive; Miss Josephine Thompson, one of our

valued correspondents being one of them. She was a good woman.


In Memoriam.

Mrs. Nannie J. Thompson, formerly Miss Jordan, wife of Richard Thompson, of

Bloomingdale, Clark county, Ky., died, Tuesday, August 8, 1905, aged 57 years. She

was born and reared in Madison county, and leaves a husband and ten children to

mourn the loss of wife and mother. She was a consistent member of the Baptist church

at Mt. Olive and was a true Christian woman. During the last week of a severe illness

which slowly, but surely ushered her into the dark valley of death, she did not murmur.

Her physician was devoted and untiring in his attention, but human skill was of no

avail. As a friend she was social, genial and true. As a wife, good and affectionate. As a

mother, devoted and loving. No wonder then the once happy home is desolate, and the

devoted husband and children almost heart broken. She lived a Christian and died a

Christian; she said “Trusting Jesus that is all.” What she suffered no mortal tongue can

tell, but her reply to that was, “My Savior had to suffer; how much better am I than

He!”

One less at home; again the circle is broken, a dear face missed day by day from its

accustomed place.

A precious mother from us has gone,

A voice we loved is stilled,

83

The chair is vacant in our home

Which never can be filled.

Dear mother, she has left us;

Left us! Yes, for ever more;

But we hope to meet our loved one

On that bright and happy shore.

Passed her suffering, passed her pain

Cease to weep, for tears or pain;

Calm the tumult of thy breast

For she who suffered is at rest.

Josephine Thompson.

grandfather, Mr. Samuel Thompson, in 1786, who came to this country from Virginia,

making it 109 years old. The house, which has been weather-boarded, will yet last many

years. Mr. Thompson also has a chair which his grandfather brought with him from

Virginia, and is much older than the house.—Jessamine Journal

Thompson, W. D. Death of W. D. Thompson.

Mr. W. D. Thompson, one of Clark county’s most highly respected citizens, died at his

home on Highland street in this city, at an early hour Wednesday morning, of the

infirmities incident to old age.

He was seventy-seven years of age, a native of this county, and for seventy-five years

lived in the house in which he was born in the Wades Mill precinct in the eastern part

of the county.

The funeral services were held at the family residence yesterday afternoon, conducted

by Rev. P. W. Sawin, of Shelbyville, a minister of the Old Baptist faith, of which the

deceased had long been a faithful member.

Mr. Thompson leaves a wife, who was a Miss Duerson, and two sisters, Mrs. Columbus

Thomson, of Wade’s Mill, and Mrs. Sue Collier, of Greencastle, Ind. Several nephews

survive, among them Judge J. H. Evans, who is the only son of a deceased sister.

Mr. Thompson had, by frugality and industry, accumulated a competency. His quiet,

unostentatious manner, won him many friends; his charities were numerous, and his

devotion to his church evidenced the true, kindly spirit of the deceased.


Dr. and Mrs. Charles Duerson, Dr. and Mrs. D. L. Proctor, Misses Lizzie, Ann and

Minnie Duerson, Dr. C. B. Duerson and F. C. Duerson attended the funeral of W. D.

Thompson at Winchester Thursday.—Mt. Sterling Sentinel Democrat.


Will of W. D. Thompson.

The will of W. D. Thompson, who died at his home in this city a few days ago, was

proved Monday by the oaths of E. S. Jouett and P. J. Althizer, attesting witnesses and

admitted to probate. After providing for the payment of his debts and funeral expenses,

he leaves his real estate, consisting of brick house and lot, corner of Hickman and

Highland streets this city, and a farm of 530 acres on Stoner, to his wife during her life

or widowhood. If she marries, an administrator is to be appointed by the court to sell all

the real estate and distribute the money according to further provisions of the will.

He devised to R. T. Colliver, $2,500, to P. O. Colliver, $2,500 and W. D. Colliver

$1,000, and Cora Waltz, $500, the remainder to be divided equally between testator’s

sister, Mrs. Columbus Thomson, and his nephew, Judge Jas. H. Evans. All the

personality except the bank stock and other reservations is to go to his wife absolutely.

To W. D. Colliver he leaves a note for $500 and interest which the latter owes the

deceased; and to R. T. Colliver a similar note for $400 and interest. To Eld. S. H.

Dunrand, of Southampton, Pa., he left $500 cash. To Anna Duerson, of Mt. Sterling,

ten shares of stock in the bank of Taylorsville, Ky. To Lizzie Thomson ten shares of

stock in the same bank. To Geo. W. Thomson is left five shares of stock in the

Winchester Bank the same to be held in trust and the proceeds devoted to keeping up

the family graveyard. The remainder of his bank stock is left to his wife. The residue

of his property is left to his wife, Mrs. Columbus Thomson and Jas. H. Evans, each to

have one-third. His wife is appointed executor without bond. The will is dated in May

of the present year.

Several Deaths From Typhoid Fever at Athens

A representative of The Democrat was this week in the vicinity of Athens and finds

typhoid fever almost epidemic there. In the little village of a few hundred people and in

the vicinity about thirty-five cases are on hand and several deaths have occurred. Miss

Thomson, of Madison county, came over on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Martin, took the

disease and died. Mrs. Martin was stricken also and has since died. Woodson Owen,

formerly of this city, has five severe cases in his family. The village is full of hog pens,

as nearly every family keeps those animals and during the recent hot and dry weather

they naturally became very offensive. Many attribute the prevalence of the disease to

this fact. Others think the supply of drinking water is the reason. The State Board of

Health has been asked to send a representative to investigate the matter.


Thomson, _______ The case of Mrs. Thomson vs. The Mutual Life Insurance Company was tried in the

Lexington Common Pleas Court and resulted in a verdict for the full amount of the

policy, $14,000 with interest. The Company resisted the payment on the ground that the

deceased gave fraudulent answers to the questions asked, as he died in a short time after

the policy was issued.


Thomson, Albert W. Death Of Albert Thomson

Albert W. Thomson died Friday at his home in Versailles after a long illness, aged fifty-

five years. He was one of the most prominent men in that section of the State and had

long been a leading tobacco dealer. He was a native of this county, a son of the late

Harrison Thomson, and a brother of Col. H. P. Thomson. His wife, who was Miss Inez

Wilson, survives him, also two sons, Harrison and Roy.


Col. H. P. Thomson went to Versailles Sunday to attend the funeral of his brother, A.

W. Thomson.

Thomson, Austin AA Among the wills probated at Lexington, Monday, was that of Austin Thomson, a

colored blacksmith. His death recalls a story of the time shortly after the war. Old Ben

Graves was County Judge and Austin was up before the court charged with stealing a

hog. He acknowledged having killed the hog but insisted that he got it from another

negro. Judge Graves asked him if he could produce the “other nigger” in court. Austin

was doubtful about it but Graves finally discharged him under promise that he would

bring in the guilty man dead or alive.

A few days after this, Austin drove up to Judge Graves’ office with a cart and entering

the office told the Judge that he had the guilty nigger.

“Bring him in” said the Judge.

“I can’t” said Austin; “he’s dead.”

It seems that he had taken the Judge’s instructions literally. Austin went after this nigger

who naturally refused to go , when Austin shot him dead, loaded him into the cart and

86

proceeded to deliver him to the Judge.

The affair caused an immense sensation in the community. There was talk of

impeaching Judge Graves and of hanging Austin, but the talk died down, the matter was

dropped and nothing was done.

Thomson, Columbus Death of Columbus Thomson

Columbus Thomson died at his home on South Highland Street Wednesday in the

seventy-eighth year of his age. He died from a complication of diseases and the decay

incident to old age. The funeral will be held today at the Old Baptist church with

services by Elder J.J. Gilbert and J.M. Thomas and the remains will be buried in the

Winchester cemetery. He was a native of this county and had lived here as a farmer all

his life. He joined Gosben Old Baptist church in 1861 and has since lived a consistent

Christian life and for a long time was a deacon and clerk of that church. Forty-seven

years ago he married Miss Henrietta Homson who survives him, with one son, George,

and one daughter, Miss Lizzie; a brother, Frank Thomson, of Missouri, also survives

him aged eighty-five years. Mrs. R.P. Scobee and Mrs. J.C. Scobee are nieces of the

deceased. Columbus Thomson was one of the few remaining gentlemen of the old

school. Formal, yet courteous and kind he had a pleasant word for everybody and a

most chivalrous respect for women. His voice and example was always for purity of

language, life and conduct, and in his death Clark county has lost one of her very best

citizens. The following were the pall bearers: R.M. Scobee, Will Gordon, Lee Evans,

Jas. Halley, Roy Morris and R.S. Scobee.

Thomson, Mrs. Annie R. The Winchester Sun Mon., 8-31-1931

Thomson, Mrs. Catherine Goff Died—At her home, near Hustonville, in Lincoln county, Kentucky, Mrs. Catherine

Goff Thomson, of paralysis, in the fifty sixth year of her age. The brightest jewel in the

cluster has vanished from the family coronet. The portals of the tomb have again closed

and shut out the dearest treasure on earth. The grave is hushed in silence, save the

symphonies of gladdened angels humming voices. Sorrow dwells around the family

heart stone. The aged husband, bereft of his dear companion, is humbly bowed under

its weight, and with manly sadness strives to comfort his motherless children. A

devoted wife, an indulgent mother, a fond sister, a true friend, a resigned Christian and

a beloved neighbor has gone. No tear can dampen her spirit; no sigh can molest her

sweet slumbers. For about eighteen months she had borne with Christian fidelity her

sufferings from the first attack by the dread scourge that finally carried her away, when

her family and friends thought she was convalescing, when she was rapidly gaining

strength and flesh; when her sprightly look; her full and flushed cheek; her quickened

step and her busying tireless hands had won all to the hope that she would be spared

many more sweet years with us. The sleeping adversary was again aroused from his

lethargy, armed with the “poisonous arrows of death,” he smote her down; sent her

guileless spirit to its eternal abiding place in the palaces of Heaven, and left the

material, lifeless form to be consigned by her heart stricken husband, children and

friends to the cold charnel-house of death. When she was called she was ready, she

answered without murmur. She had performed the work her maker had assigned to her.

She had completed her earthly mission and, with scarcely a struggle, she passed calmly

and peacefully through the “Dark Valley and Shadow of Death” to the Missions of

eternal glory. It is sometimes hard to reconcile ourselves to the providential rulings of

God. His workers are mysterious, but there is divinity in them. He has taken away our

darling mother. He has caused us to “drink the cup of sorrow to its bitterest dregs.” It

is hard, but there must be wisdom in it, for “He doeth all things well.” She was too

good and too pure for this dark vale of sorrows and woes, and He called her to a

brighter home. Darling mother, we sometimes imagine that we can see thee in thy

heavenly home, with thy golden crown and royal robes. It was sad to give thee up, but

‘twere cruel to wish thee back, for thou art happy. The shades of life are resting heavily

over thy husband, and thy children will soon cross life’s meridian, and as we are

standing quietly upon the verge of life’s peaceful river, with the premonition of life’s

glorious sunset fast gathering around us, we are admonished that we too must die, and

the cheering hope greets us, that we shall meet thee once again in that celestial realm.

“Brighter, fairer far than living,

With no trace of woe or pain;

Robed in everlasting beauty,

Shall we meet thee once again.

By that light that never fadeth,

Underneath eternal skies;

When the dawn of resurrection,

Breaks o’er deathless Paradise.”

Williamson was spirited away by his friends. The Coroner of the county says there is

no truth in the report, as he thoroughly examined the body.

Tilden used to boast that no will drawn by him had ever been broken and it is strange

that his own should be the exception. The Supreme Court of New York has confirmed

the previous decision of the lower Court that Mr. Tilden’s will is too obscure and

indefinite with regard to the expression of the maker’s purposes, or of the power

conferred on the trustees, to render it possible to give it legal effect and execution. The

courtesy has not yet ended, but it is probable that the whole of Mr. Tilden’s great wealth

will go to his legal heirs.


Tilford, Henry J. The Winchester Sun Mon., 9-16-1968

Tilford, Joe Sentenced to Death

95

George Stephenson, who killed Joe Tilford, a thirteen-year-old white boy, at Crab

Orchard, July 4th, was tried at a special term of the Lincoln Circuit Court and on last

Thursday, after the jury had been out only fifteen minutes, was sentenced to death.


Paid The Penalty

Geo. Stephenson Hanged at Stanford, KY., for the Murder of Joe Tilford—He Was

Strangled to Death.

Stanford, Ky., Aug. 19.—Geo. Stephenson, colored, was hanged here at 8:30 o’clock

Thursday morning.

In 23 ½ minutes, Stephenson who killed Joe Tilford, was pronounced dead by Drs. C.

M. Thompson and W. B. O’Bannon. His neck was not broken, owing to the stretching

of the rope. He died of strangulation. He was not the least excited, and after walking to

the gallows unsupported, he spoke several minutes in a clear voice, telling how his sins

had been washed away. Threats by Negroes amounted to nothing and nothing

unexpected happened.

On the afternoon of July4, 1898, at a flag raising at Crab Orchard, Lincoln county,

George Stephenson, on coming out of a saloon and without a word of warning, shot to

death Joe Tilford, a white boy, 13 years old firing five shots, three of which struck him.

After a hot chase the Negro was caught and placed in the little wooden jail there and a

force of men ordered to guard the building. A number of starts were made to take

Stephenson out and hang him, but cooler heads prevailed on those who wanted to hang

him to let the law take its course, and at nightfall Sheriff Sam M. Owens, with a heavy

guard, brought him to Stanford and put him in the county jail.

A grand jury was summoned the next day and his trial ended two days later, when the

jury returned a verdict of death.


George Stephenson, colored, was hanged at Stanford Thursday for the murder of Joe

Tilford, a white boy, fourteen years old, at Crab Orchard July 4th. He was tried and

convicted three days thereafter. The killing was deliberate and entirely unprovoked. He

spoke a few words on the scaffold saying he was prepared to die.


Tilford, Joseph Aaron Quisenberry appointed guardian to Elizabeth Tilford daughter of Joseph Tilford

decd. with Benjamin D. Wheeler and Thomas Burrus Sr. security.


Tilford, Julian Frankfort, Ky., - Julian Tilford, 46, treasurer of the Capital Theater Co., died suddenly

of heart failure. He would have been elected, on next Thursday, secretary of the state

board of equalization. He was a grandson of Col. Thomas Page, former state auditor.

Tillet, _____ Some marked peculiarities appear in connection with the drowning of persons in the

Kentucky river from Boonesborough up to the Mouth of Red river. The drowning at

Ford last week brings forth these remarks. From the settlement of this locality, 1775 to

about 1885, a period of eighty years, it is believed nobody was drowned. About the

latter year Capt. Turnbull, of Winchester was drowned at the mouth of Bear Run.

Probably three years later, Pen Coe, another Clark county man was drowned just below

the mouth of Four Mile. In 1882, a dozen negro men and a white woman were washed

out of a railroad camp on Two Mile creek into the river and drowned near Ford during

a sudden rise. A few years later, several boys from Clark were drowned at the Mouth of

Upper Howard’s creek. Since that time the number of drownings especially at Ford,

have been too great to be recalled, but perhaps every instance except that of John

Sewell, several years ago and the boy East a year ago and a colored boy the past Spring

that were from Clark. Thus it spans that for nearly a century and a quarter only four or

five Madison county people have been drowned along about fifteen miles of river and

those within the brief period of less than six years, while Clark has been unfortunate for

nearly forty years and the extent of dozens. But our Madison people on the North side

never had any great love for water except for farming purposes.—Richmond Register.

This is only a partial list of those drowned near Ford is even the last generation: Rufus

Emerson was drowned at Boonesboro; a man named Tillet near the Mouth of Otter

Creek; John Atkinson some where near the same place; two sons of Commodore

Richardson at the mouth of Two Mile, and a negro boy in the big eddy above the

Mouth of Four Mile. Zach Hukill drowned himself on account of ill health near

Riverside; Bennie Butler was drowned in Two Mile creek and his body was afterward

found in the river. Quite a number of other drownings have occurred, the names of the

victims having escaped our memory.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Timberlake died at her home on Hickman Street at an early hour

97

Monday morning in the seventh-second year of her age. Her death was quite

unexpected and the immediate cause of it is not known.

She leaves two daughters, Miss Mary Timberlake, of this city, and Mrs. W. H. Hoge, of

Frankfort. She was a daughter of Hon. Richard French who represented this district in

Congress for several years, and her death leaves Rev.Richard French the only surviving

member of the family. She had been for most of her life a member of the Baptist

Church and was an earnest, consistent, Christian lady. Her husband, William

Timberlake, to whom she had been married more than fifty years, died two weeks

previous, and as his body was placed in the vault of the Winchester Cemetery, it is

probable that these two so long together in life, will be buried together.

Awaiting the arrival of her daughter, Mrs. W. Hoge, no arrangements for the funeral

have yet been made.


Funeral of Mrs. Timberlake

The funeral of Mrs. M.E. Timberlake was preached at the family residence Wednesday

afternoon, services being conducted by Revs. W.E. Thayer and W.H. Felix and burial in

the Winchester cemetery.


Will Probated

The will of Mrs. Timberlake was dated January 3rd, 1903. It recited the fact that she had

given her daughter, Mrs. Calloway Hoge, of Frankfort, one thousand dollars and had

loaned her husband, W. H. Hoge, three thousand dollars. It directs that no interest be

charged on this note and that a sum should be paid Miss Mary Timberlake sufficient to

make her equal to these two advancements, after which the residue of the property was

to be divided equally, Mrs. Hoge’s part to be for life with remainder to her children,

while Miss Timberlake’s part is to be hers in fee simple. N. H. Witherspoon is named

as executor and he is authorized to sell the property to make the division.


N.H. Witherspoon, exr., of Mary E. Timberlake, 33 acres on Donaldson creek, 227

acres on Donaldson creek, for $10,000.

in the Winchester Cemetery.

He leaves a wife, formerly Miss French, and two daughters, Miss Mary Timberlake, of

this city, and Mrs. W. H. Hoge, of Frankfort.

The deceased was one of our best citizens, a man of pure thoughts and clean life, and a

consistent, christian gentleman in all the walks of life.

Tipton, Kavanaugh A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY

Jailer and Sheriff Howard of Montgomery, Killed by a Horse Thief

Jailer Tipton and Deputy Sheriff Howard left Mt. Sterling early yesterday morning and

went to a point near the Menifee county line to arrest a horse thief whom they had

located there. The Officers entered the house when the thief opened fire, instantly

killing Howard and mortally wounding Tipton. The murderer escaped but will be

lynched if caught as the officers were among the most popular the county ever had.


For several days this week, it was rumored that Brookshire, the murderer of the Mt.

Sterling officers, had been caught in Breathitt County. The following from the Jackson

Hustler shows that, although a slight mistake was made, the catch was a good one:

“Tuesday” evening Detective Drake arrested a man on the K.U. train on suspicion that

he was the murderer of Tipton and Howard. He lodged him here in jail over night and

Wednesday morning started to Mt. Sterling with him as he suited the description of

Brookshire so well. He found out on the way that the fellow’s name was Charley

Davis, who had been in Powell county nearly a year. The man had shown so many

evidences of guilt that Drake determined to hold him until he could work up his case.

He told Davis that he would bring him back to Jackson on a pistol case and hold him

until he could write to Tennessee where a letter taken from him had been mailed to

Davis but written to Shade Bonnard. At this announcement, Bonnard broke down and

confessed that he was indicted for murder in Hancock county, Tennessee. At an

Association last September two relatives of his were killed, and he was mixed up with

the fray and skipped out. He is in our jail awaiting his fate. Mr. Drake showed a fine

knowledge of men in this transaction. He is rapidly making his reputation as a detective

by the successful work he does.


Our last issue contained a short sketch of the murder of Jailer Tipton and Constable

Tom Howard, of Montgomery county. The particulars since have created much

excitement here. It seems that a valuable horse was stolen from F. M. Hill, of Madison

county, who telegraphed Tipton to be on the lookout. He was soon on his track with

Howard, Geo. Rayburn and two others in the posse. They trailed him to the house of

John Pitts, in Menifee county, which they reached before day Tuesday. Tipton and

Howard pretended to be on an electioneering tour, went inside and saw a man lying on a

bed. Tipton advanced to the head of the bed and Howard to the foot. A light was made

and Howard shook the apparently sleeping man to wake him up. In a moment the latter

seized a pistol from under his pillow and shot Howard through the brain; turning, he put

another through the head of Tipton, and with pistol in hand, made for the door where he

met Rayburn, at whom he fired, wounding him in the side and arm. A large bull dog

seized Rayburn at the same time and tore his legs badly. The murderer, who was

recognized as a man who went under the names of Alonzo or Charlie Brookshire and

Charlie Crow, escaped from the house, but in a few moments returned and wanted to

shoot Tipton again as he was not quite dead, but was prevented by Pitts. The horse was

found there and returned to the owner. A special train was dispatched from Mt.

Sterling, which brought back the bodies of the murdered men, who were buried under

the most intense excitement ever beheld in that city. A large reward was offered for

Brookshire and soon all the country between there and the Virginia line was being

scoured for him. A man was arrested near Clay City but he proved to be a man wanted

for murder in Tennessee. Thursday he was seen near Doylesville, Madison county, and

Friday morning he entered a store at Valley View, near which his uncle, Wiley

Brookshire, lives. He was recognized and Sheriff Bales was notified. Bales summoned

a posse and started there at once. He was found in a cornfield with his back against a

tree, surrounded by weeds, with a couple of big revolvers in his hand. Bales pretended

not to see him, but road past him, when Brookshire’s was eye drawn to another one of

the party, he leaped from his horse and leveled his shotgun at him, upon which

Brookshire gave up and was taken to Richmond. A number of Mt. Sterling people were

present when he was brought before the County Judge next morning and seemed to be

satisfied when the Judge made an order to transfer him to Menefee county yesterday.

This was only a ruse, however, and he was taken to Lexington that afternoon. He will

have to be taken to Menefee for trial and it is hardly possible that he will escape being

lynched as he passes through Mt. Sterling, unless he has a very large guard in

101

attendance. Brookshire is only 22 years old and was raised in Estill county. He is a son

of Martin Allen Brookshire, formerly of this county, and has many relatives here, all of

whom are good law-abiding citizens. His father, however, served a term in the

penitentiary for stealing meat. Young Brookshire has always been a hard case and was

sent up from Jackson for four years for house-breaking, being arrested at the same

house he was found in this time. He escaped from the railroad where he was at work,

but was caught in a couple of weeks. A short time before his term expired he escaped

again, this time getting clear away. He came to this county and stayed for some time

near Renick. While there he, together with a fellow named Parker, was arrested for

breaking into the house of Mr. Owens and stealing a vase. While awaiting trial on that

charge, John Oden, at that time Chief of Police, learned he was an escaped convict, and

took him back to serve out his time. Several months ago he was arrested and placed in

jail here, charged with stealing horses from Rev. Wm. Repard Geo. Hunt, and Ben

Franklin, but the charge could not be proved and he was released.

The Democrat, Wednesday , August 3, 1892.

Had Col. H. Clay King, the Tennessee murderer, been confined in the Mt. Sterling jail

for safe keeping, he would have been hanged long before his commutation. Those

Montgomery fellows are evidently not the kind to make a distinction between poor and

wealthy cases. It is only a matter of time until murderer Brookshire will meet his fate. –

Richmond Climax


Menifee Circuit Court convenes in September and Brookshire, the murderer, now in the

Lexington jail, will be taken there for trial.


Brookshire Sent to the Pen For Life.

Monday morning the jury in the Brookshire case at Frenchburg reported a verdict of

murder in the first degree fixing the punishment at imprisonment for life in the

penitentiary. Immediately after receiving the sentence, Brookshire was taken by Sheriff

and a guard across the country to a station on the C. and O. railroad, and taken by a

circuitous route to Frankfort.


That the juries of Kentucky are largely responsible for the bloody record which makes

the name of the State a reproach in the land, has received fresh verifications in the

action of the Menifee county jury which tried Brookshire.

This man, who is less than twenty-five years old, is a professional criminal, having

already severed a term in the penitentiary. The crime for which he was tried in Menifee

county is one against which no meritorious defense could have been set up. He was an

escaped convict, a horse thief, an outlaw seeking to avoid arrest, and murdered two

officers of the law who were attempting to capture him. There was no excuse for his

bloody deed-it was attended by no palliating circumstance-yet by the verdict of the

Menifee county jury he goes to the penitentiary for life instead of to the gallows.

In a few years some sympathetic Governor will come along and give Brookshire his

liberty. This is the usual course in such cases, and this is an illustration of Kentucky

“justice,” so called.

Truly may the people pray for protection against Kentucky Juries.-Covington

Commonwealth.


BROOKSHIRE, the Menifee murderer, was safely lodged in the penitentiary last

Wednesday. He seemed glad to get there. To a reporter he said: “Yes, I have been here

before. I was sent to the penitentiary in 1888. They accused me of breaking into a

house. They made me a trusty, and I heard my mother was sick and I ran off. I was a

kid then. They caught me three months later at Winchester and brought me back. I was

then sent to the railroad camp, and they made is so hot for me that, when I had only two

months and twelve days to serve, I ran away. You see they whipped a fellow nearly

every time he turned around. I was out two years and three months when I was

captured again at Winchester, and I was released from prison the 18th day of last

December.

“Why did you kill Mr. Tipton and Mr. Howard?”

“I thought they were going to kill me. I waked up in time to see them drawing their

pistols, and I don’t know how I got my pistol out from under my pillow in time to get

the drop on both of them. I was excited, too, and I don’t know how I did it. I never saw

either one of them before, and did not know what they wanted, except that when I

opened my eyes they were drawing their pistols. No, sir, Mr. Tipton never arrested me

before.”


Late Friday afternoon, Gov. Brown issued his proclamation offering a reward of $300

for the arrest of Alonzo Brookshire, the murderer of Tipton and Howard, and it

appeared in Saturday’s issue of the Capitol. The executive order has however been

revoked, it appearing to the satisfaction of the Governor that Brookshire was already in

custody when it was issued. The proclamation has been withdrawn from the Capitol

and Mr. Brookshire saves the treasury $300 by surrendering at an early instead of a later

hour in the afternoon. The money will come in very well to buy a scaffold when the

time comes to hang him.


102

A dispatch from Frankfort says Alonzo Brookshire, the notorious outlaw, who after he

escaped from the penitentiary about a year ago, killed Jailer Tipton and two deputies

who were endeavoring to arrest him for horse stealing, died of typhoid fever within the

walls there Wednesday.


A Coincidence

Mrs. Kavanaugh Tipton, of Mt. Sterling, has lost a husband and brother in almost the

same way. While her husband was Jailer of Montgomery county, he attempted to arrest

Alonzo Brookshire, of this county, a horse thief, who was resisting arrest, and the

officer was instantly killed; and Sunday her brother Howard Wilson, was killed by

Tipton Day, a murderer whom he was trying to arrest.

saw mill company for which he was working for ten thousand dollars damages. The

case was tried a couple of weeks ago and resulted in a hung jury.

The Winchester Democrat, Friday, November 26, 1897

While sitting in his chair before the fire Sunday afternoon B. Frank Todd, a wealthy

farmer, living two miles East of Richmond, died suddenly of heart disease. He was the

father of Matt. Todd, whose assassination four years ago resulted in the sentence of

Will Todd, also a son of the deceased, to the penitentiary for life after one of the most

105

sensational trials in the history of the county. Only a few weeks ago another son,

Rutherford, killed Dan Little in a fierce duel, but was cleared on the plea of self

defense. These troubles, it is believed, caused the death of the old man. Col. Todd was a

man of the highest standing, and leaves a large estate, to be divided among seven

children.

The Winchester Democrat, Friday, November 26, 1897

Wealthy Madison Farmer Disinherits a Daughter

Six years ago Miss Minnie Todd, daughter of B. Frank Todd, a wealthy farmer living

near Richmond, eloped much against her father’s will and married Peter M. Gentry, a

neighbor’s son. Instead of the usual blessing, her father sent her word that for her

disobedience she should never have a cent of his property. Some months afterward,

however, his heart softened and he forgave the couple and seemed to forget that there

had ever been any dissention. Mrs. Gentry became almost a daily visitor to her father’s

home. A few days ago the old man died, and when the will was probated in the County

Court it was found that Mrs. Gentry’s name was omitted from the document, the

property, amounting to something like $30,000, being willed to the other four children,

completely disinheriting her.

Todd, Matt Matt Todd, a well known Madison man, was shot and killed Saturday night by a negro

who fired on him through the window while he was reading. There was considerable

trouble over the settlement of his estate and the negro says that Will Todd, a brother of

the victim, hired him to commit the deed. The dead man has numerous relatives in this

county. Both Will Todd and the negro confessed yesterday.


Monday was set for the examining trial of Jesse Hatton and Will Todd for the murder of

the latter’s brother at Richmond. Both prisoners waived examination and were held over

without bail. Both have made confessions and have gone over the grounds with the

officers and showed each movement in detail, showing conclusively that they were

together, although each claims the other fired the fatal shot. It is thought the sisters of

the dead man will be implicated before the matter is ended.


The Madison Circuit Court began yesterday. Among the most important cases is that of

Will Todd and Jesse Hilton for the murder of Matt Todd


In the Circuit Court at Richmond, Wednesday the case of the Commonwealth vs. Bill

Todd, for killing his brother, Matt in February, was called. There are over one hundred

107

witnesses.


Given a Life Sentence

In the Circuit Court Saturday morning Will Todd, aged twenty-three years, was

sentenced to the penitentiary for life for the murder of his brother, Matt Todd, in

February last. It was a cold blooded assassination, in which Todd was assisted by a

negro named Jesse Hatton. They fired upon Matt Todd through a window, killing him

instantly. Hatton’s trial will occur at the next session of the court. The almost universal

sentiment at Richmond was in favor of hanging, and ten of the jury were for giving

Todd the sentence. He received the verdict with stolid indifference.—Richmond

Pantagraph.


AT Richmond Jesse Hatton, colored, was given a life sentence for complicity in the

murder of Matt Todd, white, last February. Will Todd, a brother of the murdered man,

in company with the negro, went to Matt Todd’s house and shot him through a window.

Will Todd was given a life sentence in September and Hatton can now join him.

The Winchester Democrat, Friday, December 14, 1894.

WILL TODD, who was sent to the pen for life for the murder of his brother, Matt Todd,

of Madison county, had his hand cut of by a saw last week while at work in the

penitentiary.


THE Sheriff of Madison county passed through here Tuesday with Jesse Hatton, whom

he was conveying to the penitentiary to serve a life sentence for the murder of Matt

Todd last Spring.


A petition is being circulated at Richmond asking for the pardon of William Todd, who

it will be remembered, was sent to the penitentiary for life three years ago, for the

assassination of his brother, Madison Todd. A negro named Hatton was also implicated,

and he too, is serving a life sentence. Todd’s youngest sister, Miss Maggie, is

circulating the petition, which is receiving many signatures.


A petition is in circulation for the pardon of Will Todd, of Madison county, who is

serving a life term for the murder of his brother, Matt. Todd, and the chances are that it

will be granted.


Rufus Todd, of Madison county, will be tried today at Richmond for cutting Dan Little

in a dispute about some cattle. Todd is a brother to Will Todd who is serving a life term

in the pen for killing Matt. Todd another brother.


Gov. Bradley has refused to pardon Will Todd, of Madison county, who was given a

life sentence for the murder of his brother, Matt Todd.


In the Richmond Circuit Court Saturday, Rutherford was acquitted of the killing of Dan

Little some months ago. Todd is a brother of Will Todd, who is serving a life sentence

for the murder of Matt Todd.


Sentence Commuted

Will Todd, of Madison county, who is serving a life term in the penitentiary for the

murder of his brother, has had his sentence commuted to thirty years from date of

conviction by Gov. Worthington. Todd is about thirty years of age and has already

served five years.


Murderer Pardoned

Wednesday, Governor Bradley issued a pardon for Wm. Todd, who was convicted and

given a life sentence from this county about six years ago for killing his brother, Matt,

the particulars of which are still fresh in the minds of our readers. The prisoner is in the

last stages of consumption and the physician in charge says that his presence is

dangerous to other inmates of the hospital. It is said that he will be taken by his friends

to Montana where a brother and some sisters reside. Richmond Register


It is said that Will Todd, of Madison county, who was pardoned out of the penitentiary

where he was serving a life sentence for the murder of his brother, must leave the state

as one of the conditions of the pardon. He will go to Montana, where he has a sister

living.


Pardon refused

Gov. Wilson refused to pardon Jesse Hatton, a negro sent to the penitentiary from

108

Madison county for complicity in the murder of Matt Todd, a prominent white man a

number of years ago. Will Todd, a brother of the dead man, was also convicted, but has

been pardoned. Gov. Willson says because the principal has escaped punishment by

being pardoned is no good reason for pardoning the accomplice, if he is guilty.


Prisoner paroled

Jesse Hatton, a negro prisoner serving a life sentence from Madison county, was

paroled this week. He was convicted with William Todd, a white man of the murder of

Todd’s brother. Todd was pardoned by Gov. Bradley ten years ago, but Hatton has been

in ever since.


Todd, Matt Killing in Madison

At Bybeetown, Madison county Sunday James Stivers, Matt Todd and several other

neighbors were seated and engaged in friendly conversation when Stivers suddenly

arose and fired six shots into Todd’s body killing him at once. Stivers was arrested and

in a short time was a raving maniac. No motive fort he killing except insanity.

Todd, O. Frank Broke The Will

Several years ago, Miss Minnie Todd, daughter of O. Frank Todd, a wealthy farmer of

Madison county, eloped with P. M. Gentry, to Ohio, where they were married and

resided for several years. On hearing of the elopement the irate father announced his

determination “to never give his daughter one cent of his estate.” This resolve he seems

to have zealously kept, for at his death, two years ago, Mrs. Gentry found no mention of

her name in his will. Upon the advice of a lawyer, she filed a petition to have the will

set aside, and last week in the Circuit Court, her petition was sustained by the jury’s

verdict. Mrs. Gentry will receive about $3,000 as her portion.

grabbed his pistol and started but as he stepped from the porch he was shot down and

his body filled with shot. He was carried to the Richmond Infirmary that day and is said

to be in a critical condition. Smith Mallory and Reuben Miller, both colored, were

Mrs. Anne Toohey, wife of Dennis Toohey, aged 55 years. Besides a husband she

leaves four sons and two daughters to mourn the loss of the earliest, best and most

unselfish friend they ever had.

Mrs. Toohey was born in Ireland, but came to this country in early girlhood and for the

last half or more of her life she has lived in this county. Modest and unassuming she

performed the duties of life as they presented themselves cheerfully and well. As a wife

she was the staff and comfort of him whose hearthstone is now desolate; a mother she

brought her children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord; as a neighbor and

friend, she was kind, courteous and generous. Born and reared in the tenets of the Holy

Catholic Church her faith never faltered and when the summons came it found her

prepared to lay down the cross and take up the crown which is promised to those who

have kept the faith. May her bereaved husband and children not think of her as lost but

simply as gone before.

marshal of Athens, shot Geo. Toomey through the bowels inflicting a fatal wound. The

men had been enemies for some time. Green was arrested and lodged in jail. Both men

formerly lived in this county.


IN our last issue we noted the shooting of Geo. Toomey by Jas. Green, of Athens, at

Lexington, on the night of the election. Toomey was removed to his home, while Green

remained in charge of the constable. A few days later several of the Athens crowd were

in Lexington some of them bent on having Greene placed in jail and others opposed to

it. Marshal Traynor became involved in a row with Lew Sharp, Ike Davidson, Pat

Toomey and some other person, over the matter. Traynor knocked Sharp down and cut

him very badly in the face and near the hand. The others ran up and one of them struck

Traynor who had Sharp down. The latter arose with a big pistol in each hand, and while

he covered a part of his foes with one, with the other he shot Issac Davidson, inflicting a

wound from which he died in a few moments. Traynor surrendered and is out on bond.

Davidson was a prominent distiller of Athens. Sharp is badly hurt but may get well. He

was a Confederate soldier, a member of Cluke’s regiment and has numerous comrades

in this county.

Toomey, W. M. Kissed by the queen

In taking the census of Harrodsburg the enumerators only found one man who was born

in London. This was Mr. W.M. Toomey whose parents brought him to this country

when he was nine years old. He is probably the only man in America who ever kissed

Queen Victoria and had for a playmate the late King Edward VII. Mr. Toomey’s father

was gardener at Windsor palace, and there was a school established by the Queen for

the children of the employees which he attended as a child. He was quite a vocalist and

the show singer of the school. One day the Queen visited the school and the teacher

made the gardener’s son sing “God Save the Queen” as she entered. His sweet voice

and childish innocence quite won the noble lady, and she impulsively stooped and

kissed the little singer. – Harrodsburg Herald. Mr. Toomey was raised in Clark county,

where his father died and where his mother lived for many years.

Tracy, Buford Allen HORRIBLE ACCIDENT

Capt. B. A. Tracy Caught in an Elevator at Gay’s Warehouse and His Neck Broken.

A Good Citizen Gone.

The uncertainty of human life was once more exemplified by the terrible accident by

which Capt. Buford Allen Tracy lost his life yesterday afternoon. He was at the

warehouse of David S. Gay, and was conversing with some one in the basement of the

building. Having finished his work there he called to some one to carry the elevator to

the ground floor. John Wickline was their with a load of tobacco for M. H. Gardner and

seized hold of the rope which controls the elevator. Not being familiar with the

working of the machine, he failed to stop it when it reached the desired point and it

continued to ascend. It is supposed that Capt. Tracy attempted to jump from the

elevator platform to the floor, after he found it would not stop. He had waited too long

however his head came in contact with the beams of the floor above, breaking his neck.

Death was instantaneous and he suffered no pain. The news spread rapidly and a large

crowd was soon present, the efforts of the police being necessary to clear the building

so that the undertakers could take charge of the body.

He was liked by everybody. Bluff and cheery, his presence dispelled low spirits and he

toward was a better for his having lived in it, he was a man of strong convictions and

never hesitated to express them.

When the tocsin of war sounded, he responded early in the action, and did his part well.

He left with the rank of Captain. He was for some time on the staff of Col. W. C. P.

Breckenridge.

He never held civil office, but was prominently mentioned for Railroad Commissioner

under the present administration and was a candidate for that place at the time of his

death. He took a prominent part in the organization of Confederate Veterans; he was

Vice President of Clark County Confederate Veteran Association and Adjutant of Roger

Hanson Camp of Confederate Veterans. He was a prominent member of Goshen

Baptist church and had been for years.

He leaves a wife, formerly Miss Holloway, and the following children; Mrs. Mayme

Scobee, Buford, Starling, Mattie, Lizzie, Will, Stuart and Jeannette.

He had ten thousand dollars insurance on his life.


Mrs. Wm. Lewis of Tennessee arrived too late to attend the funeral of her brother, Capt.

Tracy but will spend a few weeks with her daughters, Mrs. Jas. Griggs and Mrs. Geo.

M. Hart.


FRIDAY morning Coroner Alexander impaneled a jury composed of the following: I. C

Skinner, L. E. Oden, R. Burnett, W. N. West, Jas. T. Ecton and Waller Calmes, who

held and inquest over the remains of Capt. Tracy. Nothing new was developed and the

jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts given in our last issue. Rev. Wm.

Rupard preached the funeral Saturday to a large crowd at his residence on Maple Street

and the remains were interred in the cemetery. The Clark County Confederate

Association and Roger Hanson Camp of Confederate Veterans attended in a body as did

the Association of Sons and Daughters of Confederates. Among his old comrades from

other polaces who were present were John Botts and Joseph Scott, of Mt. Sterling, Maj.

Tracy, Mrs. Elizabeth Horrible Accident

Mrs. Elizabeth Tracy Receives Fatal Burns

Yeaterday morning the Fire Department was called out by an alarm from the residence

of Mrs. Lizzie Tracy, on South Maple Street. Upon arrival it was found that the

services of the firemen were not needed, but a tragedy, far greater than the destruction

of property, had occurred.

Some days ago Mrs. Tracy had severly bruised her leg by breaking through a defective

spot in the kitchen floor. Yesterday morning she was sitting before the fire bathing the

bruised member with turpentine. Her daughter, Miss Mattie, in the discharge of her

household duties, accidentally overturned the bottle. The volatile fluid at once caught

fire enveloping Mrs. Tracy in flames. Efforts to extinguish them were unsuccessful

until most of her clothing had burned off. By this time she was unconscious, in which

condition she remained until death came to her relief a few hours later.

Mr. Charles L. Vanmeter, Miss Lizzie Tracy and the colored cook were each badly

burned in trying to divest the unfortunate lady of her clothing, and Miss Mattie Tracy

was also burned but not so badly.

Mrs. Tracy was originally Miss Holloway, of Henderson, and one of a large family of

brothers and sisters of whom eleven are still living. Col. J. H. Holloway is the only one

living in this vicinity, but the others were at once notified by telegraph.

Her awful fate recalls the tragic death of her husband, Capt. B. A. Tracy, several years

ago, his neck being broken in the elevator of the Gay warehouse in this city.

The funeral will take place from the Presbyterian church this afternoon at two o’clock,

burial in the Winchester cemetery.

Trainum, Richard Jr. Swallowed Carbolic Acid

Hopkinsville, Ky., Dec. 11

Richard Trainum, Jr., aged 30, committed suicide Tuesday morning by swallowing

carbolic acid. He had been drinking and despondency is the supposed cause of the act.

He leaves a widow and family.


Tramps Tuesday night a negro named Will Smith was accosted by a tramp near Prewitt Station,

who used very threatening language and as the negro says, tried to rob him. Smith ran

into a house and the tramp followed and renewed his attempts when Smith shot him.

Smith then reported the fact but upon search no blood was found and the tramp had

disappeared. Nothing more was thought of the matter until the next day when the track

walker found the body some distance away. Coroner Alexander summoned a jury who

examined the body, but beyond the fact that the man was dead and that Smith had killed

him, nothing further was elicited. Nothing was found on the body by which it could be

identified. He was a man of dark complexion, aged about 35 years, the right arm off

near the shoulder, dirty and roughly dressed. The body was brought to this city for

interment. Smith was brought here and lodged in jail and the matter brought before the

Grand Jury which refused to indict him.


DEATH IN A BOX CAR.

Belief That a Deceased Tramp Had Smallpox-Another Report That He Died From a

Blow He Received.

PADUCAH, Ky., March 22.-An unknown white man was found dead near the Illinois

Central “Y” in the suburban portion of the city Monday night at 11 o’clock. He was a

123

tramp and had been ill in a box car during the day. One report is that he died of

smallpox. Coroner Phelps was summoned and is trying to get a jury. There is another

report that he died from blows received. Great excitement prevails over the discovery.

The man has only one arm. A case of smallpox was taken from the yard of the Riddick

River infirmary here Sunday to the pesthouse. The afflicted came in from Fulton, Ky.,

and had gone to the infirmary for treatment. There are only two cases of smallpox at

the pesthouse.


FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE.

Two Men Were Killed and Four Injured, Two of Whom Can Not Survive at

Nortonville.

Nortonville, Ky., July 19.-Two freight trains on the Louisville & Nashville railroad

collided here Thursday night, and as a result two were killed, two fatally hurt and two

slightly injured. The collision was due to a conflict of dispatcher’s orders. When the

trains met they were running at a full rate of speed. E. M. Corbett, a brakeman, was

caught in the wreck and instantly killed. His body was mangled beyond recognition.

Cleveland Harrison, a tramp who was riding in a box car, was killed. Two other tramps

whose names cannot be learned, were in the car with him and were so badly injured that

they cannot live until morning. The engineers of the trains James McGrath and William

Porter jumped when the collision took place and were slightly bruised. The two engines

were wrecked and 20 box cars destroyed. All trains are delayed as a result of the wreck,

and the track is not expected to be cleared before late Friday morning.

Treadway, Mrs. Patsy The Mt. Sterling Advocate has the following account of “Aunt” Patsy Treadway, who is

a fair specimen of the Kentucky women of her day. “Aunt” Patsy is past 84 years old.

Born in Clark county in 1811. Her maiden name was Martha Ann Haggard. In 1826

when 15 years old she married Stephen Treadway and raised 10 children. Aunt Patsey

has been a hard worker. When 18 years old with two children, after getting breakfast,

one in her arms and the other astride of neck, she would walk three miles, cut her 12

shocks of corn, return home, get supper, and repeat the same work, cutting the entire

crop. In addition to this work she would cut wood, split rails, plow, sickle or cradle

wheat, pull flax, make it into cloth garments and wear it. All kinds of farm and home

work she has done and today is hale and hearty and on Thursday she will leave for

Columbus, Ind. To make her future home with her daughter, Mrs. Kavanaugh.


An old lady

On last Wednesday, Aunt Patsy Treadway walked into our office, exclaiming: “This

is my birthday. I am just 85 years old today, and have been here during three wars –

1812, 1848 and 1860. I was a Miss Haggard, of the county of Clark, and at the age of

15 married Stephen Treadway. I am the mother, grandmother and great grandmother of

103 children. When just past 18 years old, I was the mother of two children. I carried

them with me to the field after milking and getting breakfast, tied them in a fence

corner, cut twelve shocks of corn per day, and returned to my home to attend to

domestic affairs. Of course I have been a hard worker. I have cut wood, split rails,

handled the reap hook and cradled in harvest time; sowed, pulled, broke, hackled and

swingled flax, spun it and wove it into cloth. I have sheared sheep and made the wool

into blankets, lindsey and jeans. I have done all kinds of work and feel none the worse

for it. At the age of 19 I joined the old Lulbegrud Baptist church under the ministry of

Rev. Thomas Boon, and when the missionaries withdrew and organized New Lulbegrud

my husband and I went with them; I am now a member of the Mt. Sterling Baptist

church. This is my last birthday.” – Mt. Sterling Advocate


Died - Monday, April 12th, Mrs. Patsy Treadway died at her home at Mt. Sterling, aged

eighty-eight years. She was formerly Miss Haggard, of this county.

Trevitt, F. C. Death of F.C. Trevitt

F.C. Trevitt died suddenly at his home on South Main street in this city Sunday

afternoon, aged about 40 years. Mr. Trevitt was a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He came

to this city six years ago. Up to January of this year, he was funeral director for the

Winn Furniture Company. At this time he became the owner of the undertaking

department. Some two years ago, he married Miss Etta Stevens, daughter of the Hon.

Hub Stevens, of this county. The funeral services took place at the Presbyterian church

Tuesday afternoon, the burial following in the Winchester cemetery. Thus it was done

for him what he had so often kindly and faithfully done for others.

The Winchester Sun-Sentinel Thursday, May 2, 1907

Change of firm

The undertaking firm of F.C. Trevitt & Co., which, since the death of Mr. Trevitt,

has been conducted by Mrs. James Ballard and E.R. Hutchings, has been sold to Kerr

Bros., of Lexington, who also have a branch establishment at North Middletown. The

new firm will take charge at once and Mr. F.S. Kerr will have charge here. Both

members of the firm are licensed embalmers and are experienced men at the business.

They were raised on a farm near North Middletown and are related to some of the best

people in this county. Mr. Hutchings, who has made many friends during his residence

here, will go to New Mexico to join his wife, who has been there for sometime on

account of her health. We regret to lose Mr. Hutchings, but will welcome Mr. Kerr to

the ranks of our business men.

20th.


Tribble, Alex Mrs. Nancy Tribble aged seventy years; widow of the late Alex Tribble, of Madison

A War Reminiscence.

Hugh Coldiron, who was a Sergeant in Co. F of the Seventh Kentucky Cavalry and

Capt. Tom Collins will attend the reunion at Louisville on May 30th 31st, and June

1st,2nd,and 3rd, writes Spencer Cooper in his paper, the Hazel Green Herald. The Seventh

126

was Col. D. W. Chanault’s regiment and James B. McCreary was a Major in the same

regiment; Joseph Tucker of Winchester was Lieutenant-Colonel. Chenault was killed at

Green river bridge, July 4, 1863, while trying to take the stockade. Capt. Alex Tribble,

of Richmond, was also killed in the same fight, as were Lieut. Bill Baldwin, father of

Lew Baldwin, killed at Lexington a few years ago by Tom Green, of Maysville, and the

father-in-law of Rodney Haggard, of Winchester; Lieut. West, Lieut. Rob’t. McConn,

Alex Cosby and John Cosby, brothers; Maj. Brent and others, whose names Hugh could

not recall when the writer interviewed him. Capt. Steve Sharp, of Lexington; Bush

Castleman, of Louisville, and many other well known Confederate soldiers were in that

fight. The stockade was on a bluff on the Columbus side of the river going from

Lebanon and was under command of Lieut. Miller, who belonged to some Michigan

regiment, we believe. Col. Chenault wrote a note demanding the surrender of the

stockade and the men, to which Miller laconically replied: “On any other than today I

would consider the matter, but under the circumstances, if you want it, you will have to

come and get it.” Chenault attempted to do so with the assistance of Cluke’s regiment

and met with disastrous loss. After the fight was over Miller had the wounded

Confederate taken to farm houses in the neighborhood and told the people with whom

he left them that he would hold them personally responsible for their treatment, and the

result was that they received the best attention. For this act Miller became endeared to

all the Confederates, and had they subsequently captured him, they would have vied

with each other in treating him the best they possibly could under the circumstances.

Tribble, Andrew The Winchester Sun Mon., 6-29, 6-30-1970

Tribble, Andrew J. Obituary-In the death of Andrew J. Tribble, Clark county loses one of its strongest men.

After a brief illness, he passed to his rest last Saturday night and is mourned by all who

knew him. He had outlived three score but was hearty, active and vigorous when his

fatal sickness struck him. As a friend who had known him intimately for many years

and who had for him a tender, sincere regard, I cannot allow him to be put away without

a tribute (slight and inadequate as it is) to his memory. He was born in Madison, but

spent the greater part of his life in Clark. He married the daughter of Samuel Halley for

years the owner of historic Boonesboro, and leaves her a distressed, heartbroken widow.

In his young manhood he united with the Christian church and faithfully endeavored to

live up to the precepts of the religion of Jesus Christ. He was a life long and consistent

democrat, and although always tolerant of the views of others, never wavered in his

political faith. For years he was a Justice of the Peace, but although ever an active

partisan, never sought an office. To his friendships he was as true as the needle to the

pole. When he liked a man no slight could change the current of his regard; neither did

he ever deceitfully pretend to care for those who were not agreeable to him. Always

manly, upright and honorable, his word was as good as his bond in the community

where he lived, and in all his dealings with the people of this county we have never

heard a charge of unfairness or injustice. Fearless is the expression of his opinions and

courageous in the maintenance of whatever views he believed to be right, he was a

model citizen, a devoted husband, a good neighbor, a true friend and an exemplary

Christian. The community is indeed bereft in the loss of such a man.


IN the court of Appeals this week the case of Lisle vs. Tribble was decided. This case

arose from the settlement of the estate of the late Andrew Tribble. Some time before

his death, his wife being very sick, gave him a note for $ 1,000 which she held against

him, for the purpose, of destroying it in case of her death. She recovered and Mr.

Tribble proposed to alter his will giving her more there-in in place of the note. He

subsequently died without doing so and some time after his death Mrs. Tribble brought

suit on it as a lost note against Mrs. J. B. Lisle, who was residuary legatee. The Circuit

Court decided in Mrs. Tribble’s favor and this was affirmed by the Court of Appeals.

Tuck, Evan While playing squirrel

Evan Tuck, the ten year old son of Elwood Tuck, of Sugar Grove, died Wednesday last

from the effects of a gun wound at the hands of a little playmate. The two boys were

playing around the yard in innocent glee, one climbing a tree and the other taking aim at

him with an old gun which they supposed to be unloaded. They took it time about,

climbing a tree and acting as a squirrel. When it came young Tuck’s turn to be squirrel

the gun went off and the ball took effect in the abdomen, which resulted in his death.

The affair was shocking and the parents of both children are heart broken. – Bowling

Tucker, Joseph T. In an old scrap book we find the following among the “Sketches of Prominent

Kentuckians” from the Frankfort Commonwealth, published in 1872. Col. Tucker was

then the representative from this and Montgomery counties, in the Legislature:

Col. Joseph T. Tucker,

Member from the counties of Clark and Montgomery, was born in Boston, Mass., in

1833, and graduated at Yale College in 1849; came to Kentucky in 1850, graduated at

the Transylvania Law School at Lexington, Ky., in 1853, and commenced the practice

of his profession in Winchester, Clark county, in 1854. Entered the Southern army in

1862, as Lieutenant-Colonel of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers, under

Gen. John H. Morgan. When Col. Chenault was killed in July, 1863, he succeeded to

the command with the rank of a full Colonel, and served with distinction until captured

with Gen. Morgan, in Ohio. He is chairman of the committee on revised statutes; also

belongs to the important committees on the judiciary and Circuit Courts. He is

recognized as a working member—rarely ever speaks and when he rises in his seat you

may know that there is a law point under consideration; he means business. He is five

feet eleven inches high, with jet black hair and eyes and weighs 150 pounds.


We are sorry to have heard of the death of Col. Joe Tucker and we join in sympathy

with the bereaved family.

When he heard threats of lynching and feeling bitter against him

Richmond, Ky., - Nathan H. Tudor, the farmer who killed his brother Mason because he

claimed the latter grossly insulted his (Nathan’s) wife, fearing that he might be lynched,

fled from his home for parts unknown. It is believed that he has gone to Canada. Mrs.

Tudor went with her husband as far as Valley View. After kissing him good-bye and

seeing him safely ferried across the Kentucky river she returned to her home. Tudor was

tried before county Judge Tarvin, and the verdict was “You may go under your own

bond, but your ease will be referred to the Grand jury.” On arriving home he was

advised that, as feeling was so bitter against him, it would be dangerous for him to

remain. He refused to believe the reports and remained until Sunday night, when a

report reached him that a mob was forming. He then fled.


Indicted for murder

Nathan Tudor, of Richmond, who shot and killed his brother a few days ago and who

was acquitted on his examining trial has been indicted for willful murder. Tudor has

fled and is thought to be in Canada.


To face the music

Richmond, Ky., - Some time ago Nathan H. Tudor, a farmer of this county, shot and

instantly killed his brother Mason, alleging that he had offered insults to his (Nathan’s)

wife. He was tried and held to the grand jury on his own recognizance. A few days after

the trial Tudor was notified that if he remained at home he would be lynched and

immediately fled. The grand jury, now in session, indicted him for the murder. He

appeared in Richmond and surrendered.

Turnbull, Capt. ________ Some marked peculiarities appear in connection with the drowning of persons in the

Kentucky river from Boonesborough up to the Mouth of Red river. The drowning at

Ford last week brings forth these remarks. From the settlement of this locality, 1775 to

about 1885, a period of eighty years, it is believed nobody was drowned. About the

latter year Capt. Turnbull, of Winchester was drowned at the mouth of Bear Run.

Probably three years later, Pen Coe, another Clark county man was drowned just below

the mouth of Four Mile. In 1882, a dozen negro men and a white woman were washed

out of a railroad camp on Two Mile creek into the river and drowned near Ford during

a sudden rise. A few years later, several boys from Clark were drowned at the Mouth of

Upper Howard’s creek. Since that time the number of drownings especially at Ford,

have been too great to be recalled, but perhaps every instance except that of John

Sewell, several years ago and the boy East a year ago and a colored boy the past Spring

that were from Clark. Thus it spans that for nearly a century and a quarter only four or

five Madison county people have been drowned along about fifteen miles of river and

those within the brief period of less than six years, while Clark has been unfortunate for

nearly forty years and the extent of dozens. But our Madison people on the North side

never had any great love for water except for farming purposes.—Richmond Register.

This is only a partial list of those drowned near Ford is even the last generation: Rufus

Emerson was drowned at Boonesboro; a man named Tillet near the Mouth of Otter

Creek; John Atkinson some where near the same place; two sons of Commodore

Richardson at the mouth of Two Mile, and a negro boy in the big eddy above the

Mouth of Four Mile. Zach Hukill drowned himself on account of ill health near

Riverside; Bennie Butler was drowned in Two Mile creek and his body was afterward

found in the river. Quite a number of other drownings have occurred, the names of the

victims having escaped our memory.


Turnbull, Emma Death of Miss Turnbull

One of our most highly esteemed ladies passed away – The last of her name

Some time ago Miss Emma Turnbull was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital at

Lexington to submit to a surgical operation for intestinal trouble. When the operation

was performed it was found that the trouble was a malignant cancer and that she could

live but a few days. She lingered until Tuesday morning when she passed away. The

remains were brought to this city where the funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at

the First Christian church, services being conducted by Eld. J.H. MacNeill, and the

remains were buried in the Winchester cemetery. Miss Turnbull was sixty-eight years of

age, and was one of the oldest native residents of Winchester. She was the last of her

name and race, and in her death our city loses a lady whose abounding charity has

helped many in time of need. The only near relatives are two nephews, Dr. Julian

McClymonds, of Lexington and Jas. McClymonds, of California, and one niece, Mrs.

Dan Smith, of Cincinnati. The following were the pall bearers at the funeral: Active –

J.M. Hodgkin, J.N. Martin, V.W. Bush, B.R. Jouett, J.R. Martin, and J.W. Stapleton.

Honorary pall bearers: W.P. Winn, J.W. Poynter, C.B. Stewart, W.H. Strossamn, C.W.

Parrish, Robert Prewitt, J.W. Ishmael, Wm. Phelps, John Waller, M.T. McEldowney

Will probated

The will of Miss Emma Turnbull admitted to probate – Legacies to various relatives

The will of Miss Emma Turnbull was admitted to probate yesterday. After making

provisions for the payment of debts, she name Dr. Julian McClymonds, as executor

without bond. The will directs that her mercantile business be wound up as soon as

possible, having due regard to the interest of her partner, whom she did not wish to be

rushed about the matter. It bequeathed to her niece, Lida Smith, $1,000; to her sons,

Harry Smith and Hamilton Smith, each $500; to Annie McClymonds, wife of James H.

McClymonds, $1,000; to his son, William McClymonds, $1,000; to Julian

McClymonds, $4,000. Theses legacies are to be paid out of the proceeds of her

business, her two thirds interest in a cottage on South Main street and from her personal

property. If there should not be enough funds from these sources, the legacy to Julian

McClymonds shall be reduced, provided that it not reduced below $3,000. A lot near

the stand pipe is given to Julian McClymonds. The land owned by testator in Brewster

county, Texas, is left to Julian McClymonds, Jas. H. McClymonds and Mrs. Lida Smith

in equal portions. The executor is given full power and discretion to manage and control

this property for a period not exceeding ten years. He is not to be held responsible for

errors of judgment in said control, but shall account annually for proceeds. He may sell

it any time, but must sell it and divide proceeds within ten years. The will is dated

January 16th, 1907. By a codicil dated September 12th, 1908, the testator provides that

the $1,000 left to Annie McClymonds shall be invested by the executor for her benefit

for life with remainder to her son, William McClymonds. In regard to the Texas land,

one third of the share devised to J.H. McClymonds is left to his wife, Annie, for life

with remainder to her son, William. The remainder of the estate not mentioned is left in

equal parts to Julian McClymonds, Lida Smith and William McClymonds, son of J.H.

McClymonds. The charges of the codicil in regard to the property left J.H.

McClymonds, are made through no lack of love for him, but because his business

ventures are somewhat speculative, and his property might be lost.

Turner, Geo. The daily papers of Friday contained intelligence of another outbreak in Harlan county.

About the August election Geo. Turner was killed by Wilson Howard. A warrant was

issued for his arrest, but both the sheriff and jailer were his relatives and refused to

make the arrest. Wilson Lewis, the county judge, summoned a posse and went to arrest

Howard. He found him surrounded by a number of his friends and opened fire, fatally

wounding a member of Howard’s party named Spurlock. Geo. Hall of the attacking

party, was also killed during the fight. Both parties were scattered. Meredith and

Craig, of the Judge’s party were ambushed on their way back and badly wounded.

Judge Lewis and his brother were followed and fired on but without effect. Howard has

a number of determined men with him and says he will not be taken. The Gov. of

Missouri has offered $5,000 reward for his arrest for crimes committed there and Gov.

Buckner has offered $500 on account of the last killing.


Turner, George AA An eight-year-old daughter of William Waller, at Louisa, picked up a revolver and

playfully aimed it at George Turner, one of her father’s farm hands. The pistol went off

and the negro was killed instantly.


Turner, George AA GEORGE TURNER, aged 45, colored, was murdered at Richmond last week by being

shot in the head and shoulder with a shotgun. After he was shot one murderer

deliberately took the butt end of the gun and beat the dead mans head to a pulp. No one

was near at the time of the killing but all the evidence points to the guilt of “Dock”

White, also colored, who was angry with Turner, having been soundly whipped by the

latter several weeks before. White was caught and ordered in Richmond jail. He had

been waiting at a point where Turner would have to pass in going to his work and from

the numerous tracks near the spot had waited since daybreak. He was secreted behind a

tree and was unobserved by the victim. White confesses the killing claims it was done

in self defense.


DOCK WHITE was held without bail for the killing of George Turner, at the examining

trial at Richmond.


At Richmond, Monday, Dock White was sentenced to the penitentiary for life for the

murder of George Turner, both colored. The murder was committed last February and

was a most brutal one. The trouble between the men arose over White’s wife. He

waylaid Turner and butchered him in a horrible manner. The verdict of the jury created

great surprised as it was thought he would surely hang. Old lawyers say that this is the

only regular assassination that ever occurred in Madison county.

Turner, Heater Heater Turner Blew His Brother’s Head Off-Was Himself Wounded.

Scottsville, Ky., Feb. 4.—A feud of long standing between brothers is settled. One

brother is dead and the other is dying. Heater Turner shot off his brother’s head; with a

hatchet James Turner split his brother’s skull.

The Turner boys lived at Alexander, Ky., seven miles south of here, near the Kentucky-

Tennessee line. Both were dealers in illicit grog, and it was the rivalry in their business

that caused the bad feeling between them. They often have come together, but nothing

more than words or a few eye-blackening and face-bruising blows resulted from their

mix-ups.

Monday morning they met and there was many harsh words passed, but no serious

trouble occurred. Shortly after dinner, however, Heater loaded his double-barreled shot

gun and went to call on James. He found him splitting kindling. With the muzzle of the

gun he punched James in the ribs and announced that he had “come for his scalp,”

Lexington, Ky., Oct., 20

While intoxicated Saturday night Jack Turner, colored, caused a fire which roasted him

to death and destroyed the section house at Muir Station, in this county. Returning from

window. In retiring he turned over a lamp, fired the house and perished trying to get

out.

Winchester Democrat Fri., Oct. 24, 1902

Turner, James Heater Turner Blew His Brother’s Head Off-Was Himself Wounded.

Scottsville, Ky., Feb. 4.—A feud of long standing between brothers is settled. One

brother is dead and the other is dying. Heater Turner shot off his brother’s head; with a

hatchet James Turner split his brother’s skull.

The Turner boys lived at Alexander, Ky., seven miles south of here, near the Kentucky-

Tennessee line. Both were dealers in illicit grog, and it was the rivalry in their business

that caused the bad feeling between them. They often have come together, but nothing

more than words or a few eye-blackening and face-bruising blows resulted from their

mix-ups.

Monday morning they met and there was many harsh words passed, but no serious

trouble occurred. Shortly after dinner, however, Heater loaded his double-barreled shot

gun and went to call on James. He found him splitting kindling. With the muzzle of the

gun he punched James in the ribs and announced that he had “come for his scalp,”

adding that his gun was loaded.

James by way of reply, buried his hatchet in Heater’s forehead. Staggering and falling,

Heater pulled both triggers and the two loads of buckshot decapitated James. Heater

was carried home unconscious, and will it is thought, die before morning. Both men

were the heads of families.

John Turner Slain By Lee Turner—The Latter Mortally Wounded.

Middlesboro, Ky., May 10.—“Pop-Eyed” John Turner, formerly chief of police of

Middlesboro, was Friday morning killed by Lee Turner, of “Quarter House” fame, at

the “Narrows,” 13 miles from Jellico, Tenn. “Pop-Eyed” John was one of the guards of

the Southern railroad at the “Narrows,” where he went last week. Turner’s famous

“Quarter House” near this city was burned and nine of his truest followers were killed.

“Pop-Eyed” John was his chief enemy in Middlesboro. “Pop-Eyed” John belonged to a

gang which burned his “Quarter House” and was intensely hated by Turner. Few

particulars of the tragedy have reached here, but a young man from Jellico states that

Turner’s head was shot full of holes. He also states that he heard that Lee Turner was

running a saloon at LeFollette, Tenn. He intended going on the stage in a reproduction

of the “Quarter House” battle. John Turner leaves a wife and three children. The men

were cousins, but old enemies.

Turner came from Millersburg and drives a wagon for John Gaines; Britt, it is said,

came from Georgia and is a bricklayer. Both parties had been drinking, but Britt was the

drunker of the two and was very disorderly. Turner tried to eject him from his house

is a very poor man and has a wife and three small children depending on him for

support.

well. He has sued Britt for $2,000 damages.

Turner, Oscar Ex-Congressman Turner dead

Louisville, Ky., Jan. 23 – Ex-Congressman Oscar Turner died at his home here

Wednesday afternoon. He became a distinguished figure in Congress over a decade ago,

becoming known nationally as the “outlaw.” Judge Turner earned this sobriquet by a

150

series of remarkable contests for the seat in Congress from the First Kentucky district,

running as an independent in defiance of the democratic party. He was so popular that

he was returned for two other terms and the party machine abandoned the effort to

defeat the “outlaw,” as his enemies dubbed him: He was 80 years old.

Turner, Thomas DISTROUS WRECK.

Freight Train on L. & N. Plunges Over High Embankment at Riverside, Killing One

Brakeman and Injuring a Number of Others.

A bad freight wreck occurred near King’s Tunnel, on this side of Ford at an early hour

yesterday morning. It is said workmen in repairing the track had left a piece of timber

on the track across the rails. The Southbound through freight came along about eight

o’clock, struck the timber, left the track and was wrecked. The engine and a number of

cars went over the steep bank a distance of probably fifty feet and were completely

demolished. Head brakeman, Thos. Turner, of Covington, was in the cab and was

caught under the engine, being crushed to death. He leaves a wife and one child.

Fireman McGarr had a leg broken, was badly scalded from his hips down and was

otherwise hurt. He is badly hurt, but his injuries are not necessarily fatal. Engineer Ed.

Tally, of Covington, attempted to leave the engine and was thrown about sixty feet,

alighting on his hands and knees. He was considerably scratched and bruised but not

badly hurt. The wrecked engine came near striking the house of Henry Waters, who

lives below the track and would have destroyed it.


Verdict of the Coroner’s Jury.

Coroner Brinegar finished the inquest Tuesday over the body of Brakeman Turner, who

was killed in the wreck at Riverside Thursday. No evidence tending to throw light on

the cause of the wreck was secured and the jury brought in a verdict that the deceased

was killed in a railroad wreck and the cause of the wreck was unknown.

Tutt, John Tragedy at Torrent.

A special to the Leader says David Spencer met at Torrent Saturday afternoon and

engaged in a quarrel over a young woman both had been paying attentions. Tutt is said

to have accused Spencer with having circulated scandalous stories regarding the girl

and himself and Spencer resented the charges by cursing Tutt. The latter started toward

Spencer, but was stopped by a bullet from Spencer’s revolver. Tutt fell and Spencer

fired three more shots into the body. The first shot entered Tutt’s breast, but the others

took affect in his side and arms. Tutt is still alive, but cannot recover, Spencer escaped

into the mountains and has not been captured. He is regarded as a dangerous man.

Jackson, Ky., - Mrs. Amelia Allen, charged with the murder of Mrs. Fannie Tutt and her

husband Theodore Allen charged with being an accessory to that murder were after an

examining trial remanded to jail without bail to await action by the Grand jury.


Case reversed

In the Breathitt Circuit court Mrs. Amelia Allen was given a life sentence for killing

Fannie Tutt. This was reversed by the Court of Appeals which said the lower court

erred by forcing her into trial when she was not ready.


A change of venue

Mrs. Amelia B. Allen and her husband, charged with the murder of Mrs. Fannie Tutt, in

Breathitt county, about a year ago, and who were sentenced to life imprisonment, have

been granted a change of venue to Estill county. They have been released on bond,

having been confined in the Jackson jail ever since the tragedy.

Woman murdered

Judge J.M. Benton went to Irvine Monday having been appointed as Special Judge by

Gov. Willson to preside in the case of the Commonwealth against Amelia Allen. Mrs.

Allen is charged with the murder of a woman in Breathitt county about two years ago.

She was convicted in Breathitt Circuit court and sentenced to life imprisonment in the

penitentiary, but the case was reversed by the Court of Appeals. The case was then

transferred to Estill, Judge Redwine, the regular Judge in this district, was one of the

attorneys in the case before his election, which necessarily renders him ineligible to

preside, and Judge Benton was commissioned to preside in the case.

Will Tutt Executed.

The Wife Murderer Ends His Earthly Career on the Gallows at Mayfield—His Nerve

Failed Him.

Mayfield, Ky., April 14.—Will Tutt, the Negro wife murderer, was executed from the

gallows inside the county jail yard at 9:27 Thursday morning, and pronounced dead in

nine minutes by Drs. J. H. Creery and J. L. Dusmukes, jr. The condemned man refused

to address the large crowd from the platform especially constructed for that purpose, but

asked to be carried to the gallows. He appeared indifferent until the noose was placed

around his neck, when his nerve failed him and he became so weak he could hardly

stand alone. Before leaving the cell Rev. Robert Jewell and Latham, white ministers

prayed and talked with him and received expressions of confidence as to his hereafter.

Tutt shot and almost instantly killed his wife in this city on the morning of August 11,

1897, because she was going to a baseball game with another man. He was 27 years of

age, brownish color, good appearance and six feet in height. Burial was at the colored

people’s cemetery. Tutt came to Mayfield from Owensboro, Ky., just prior to his

bloody crime.

Shortly before the execution Tutt sent for three white ministers, saying the Negroes

swore his life away and he had no confidence in them. The ministers prayed with him

and Tutt professed conversion. The condemned man made several attempts to speak on

the scaffold, but broke down each time. When the trap was sprung the rope slipped and

death resulted from strangulation. Fifty people were admitted to the hanging, four

Negroes among them.

Several women witnessed the execution from jail windows. Tutt was to play with a

Mayfield team in a game of baseball at Columbus, Ky. His wife insisted on going to

Columbus to see the game. Tutt became so enraged at her insistence and finally fired

four pistol balls into her body, one piercing the heart. He rushed out exclaiming: “Now

you are going to Columbus, are you?”


Tuttle, Mrs. Johnannie The Winchester Sun Tues., 3-23-1937

Tuttle, Alexander Alexander Tuttle and Rice Williams, of Laurel county, quarreled. They came to blows,

when Tuttle produced a revolver and shot Williams just as the latter was in the act of

cutting him with an ax. The shot, however, did not deter the blow which was already

drawn, and both men fell to the ground and died almost instantly.

Tuttle, Gilpin S. Judge Gilpin S. Tuttle, formerly of Clark, died in Boone county, Mo., recently, aged 84

years. He was related to the Clark family of the same name.


Tuttle, I. N. Another case which has not yet been appealed but which may be, is one of very general

importance and one which the Court of Appeals will soon be called upon to interpret

even if the case from this county does not go up to it. The case in this county relates to

the rights of I.N. Tuttle to the lands of his deceased wife. As is well known the law in

this State for a great many years gave the widow a life estate in one third of the real

estate left by her deceased husband, which is called her dower. On the contrary the

husband’s right or courtesy comprised a life estate in all the real estate left by his wife

at her death. A few years ago the Legislature passed a law making the husband’s

courtesy the same as the wife’s dower, one-third. Mrs. Tuttle had died since the

enactment of the last law and the question raised was whether the surviving husband’s

life interest should be in one-third of the estate or comprise the whole. Judge Scott

decided that marriage being a civil contract that husband and wife acquired vested

property rights by the contract which could not be impaired by subsequent legislation

and therefore he was entitled to a life interest in the whole estate. If this view of the law

is held by the higher court, all husbands, except those who have been married in the last

year or two will have a life interest in the whole of their wives’ real estates.

Tyler, H.S. Louisville’s dead mayor

Louisville, Jan. 16 – This city is mourning over the death of Mayor H.S. Tyler. The city

hall and other city buildings are draped in mourning and all public business is

practically suspended. The funeral took place from Christ church cathedral at two

o’clock Wednesday afternoon, followed by the interment at Cave Hill cemetery. In

deference to the wishes of the family there was no public demonstration, and the

ceremonies were unostentatious. At the grave the Masonic ritual was performed.


The death of Mayor Tyler, of Louisville, was a great loss to the Democrats, but the

election of his successor may cause trouble in the Republican ranks. Republican success

at Louisville was attained by the help of the A.P.A., the anti-Catholic association. They

wanted to elect a man named Johnson as Mayor, but the old line Republicans elected

George Todd, who is not a member of the A.P.A. A howling mob filled the Council

Chamber, and the votes for Todd were greeted with howls and curses. The members

thus voting were afraid to leave the Council Chamber for some time and were guarded

by a strong force of police. The new Mayor is an uncle of Mrs. I.N. Cardwell, of this

city.

Mrs. Bertha Allan Tyler died at her home in Covington Wednesday afternoon, being

found on a couch by her husband, Prof. M. A. Tyler, when he returned home about six

o’clock. She had been suffering from neuralgic pains and from indications she had

taken a bottle of chloroform, inhaling the fumes to relieve the pain and had been

overcome by taking too much. The Coroner held an inquest and announced that death

was accidential.

She was twenty-six years old and had been married four years. Beside mother and

father, brothers and sisters, she leaves a husband but no children. She was a daughter of

Squire and Mrs. John C. Allan, of this city, and was a lovely christian lady. Everybody

Tyre, Harvey Gov. Brown Thursday pardoned Ambrose Brewer who was sent up for life seventeen

years ago from Wolfe county for the murder of Harvey Tyre. Previous to being sent to

the penitentiary he had been four years in jail and when released said the green grass

was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. In pardoning him Governor Brown said:

“This prisoner, of whose guilt there is substantial doubt, has been in confinement over

sixteen years, and been obedient to all rules. He was confined in jail for several years

before his conviction. He is only forty-one years of age. He had a wife and several

children when sent to the penitentiary, who are now widely scattered. He has made a

terrible atonement for his crime, if guilty. His labors have been severe and he is now a

mere skeleton of a man. All of the officials of the prison have desired his pardon and

the same is granted.”

thirteen years he wrote to the local authorities saying that he was willing to give himself

up.
