The Notorious jaw Dies on the Seaffold. Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. NORTON, Va., Oct. 27, 1893. “Doc” Taylor who masacred the Mullen’s family May i4, 182, expiated his awful crime on Talt Halil gailows at Wise Court House five miles trom here, a few moments after 2 o'clock today. “bee” ‘kuylor’s Crimes. The crime for which Marshall 6. Taylor— or “Doc,” a9 he was tamuiliar:y callea—was tried and convicted was ine peculiarly atrocious and biovcthirsty murder of ive persons; and there seems to have been no excuse whatever for ine crim2, except the inherent ferocity aud malignity of une prin- cipal actor. ‘Khe victims were Ira Jiullins and wife, Wilson Mullins, brother of Ira; John Moore, nis nephew, ani a half-witted @river pamed John Chay, On a punday inurning 1 slay, is¥l, Chup- ple and tne wife of wilson Mullins were Fewrning trom the Kentucky iarm of ira Siullins, Where they had ozea uf & Vist for several days to their av:ue in Wise county. In coming through Pound Gap the wife of Wilson Mullins got out of the wagon im which they were traveling, and took a Mearer path over the ridge, while the rest of the party remained with the wagoa. Thus she saved her own life, and was the only witness to the terrible tragedy which overtook the other members of the party. Her story, in substance, was that as the wagon reached a narrow pass in the moun- tains, she being on a path some distance above the road, but in piain view, a volley was fired from the bushes, followed by another and another. Hastening to the edge of the path, she beheld Doc. Taylor and two other men firing, the former up on the wagon, shoot- ing bullet after bullet into the prostrate form of Ira Mullins, who was lying down im the wagon bed, he being a paralytic and unable to sit up. All the others of the party were dead. the bodies iying on the ground, that of the driver, Chapple, being some ten feet from the wagon, as if he had tried to run before he was killed. The horses drawing the wagon had also been shot tn the fusillade. Mrs. Mullins hastened over the moun- tains to the nearest settlement and gave the alarm, and the party that went back to the pass found the bodies of the slain, as related above, all of them with two or more Winchester balls in their bodies. All the bodies had been stripped of the vai- uables they carried, and were more or less mutilated. Ira Mullins’ wife had around her body a belt containing between $800 and $2,000 in money, and this was taken by the assassins, her clothing having been rudely torn from her body by the robbers in get- ting at the belt. Doe. Taylor fled after the commission of the crime, and was in hiding for severul months, but was at last captured at Blue- W. Va. and brought to Wise county for trial. The two Flemings—Cal. and Heenan—who were indicted with him for the murders, have never been captured, though repeated efforts have been made by the officers to bring them to justice, and there is a !arge reward offered for their capture. They are among their friends in the mountains, who conceal them and keep & constant watch for the officers, and they go always heavily armed, swearing they will never be taken alive. Taylor's Trial. At Taylor’s trial Mrs. Wilson Mullins positively identified him as the leader of the murderous band, she having known him quite well for a long while. Taylor's gun was also an important witness against him. It was a forty-five Winchester, cen- ter fire, and the cartridges found in tne road at the scene of the murder fitted it exactly. In examining it the jury found that while the needle that exploded the cartridges found in the road did not strike exactly in the center, Taylor's gun fired exactly from the center; but they found on examination of the works of the gun that it had been recently tampered with and altered, and when the needle was moved back it punctured the holes in the ex~- ploded cartridges, and it was in evidence that the gun had previousiy had the pecu- Marity noticed in the cartridges. ‘An attempt was made by the attorneys for the defense to set aside the verdict, and later to get the case reversed in the Supreme Court, on the ground that the gun ‘was examined by the jury in the absence of the accused, but the courts refused to consider it. Taylor always strenuously denfed his suilt, and has charged that it was a conspiracy | to get even with him for his work several years ago as a deputy United States mar- shal among the moonshiners of Virginia and Kentucky; but the evidence against him | ‘was too strong to admit of any reasonable Goubt. He was convicted, and the supreme court refused to interfere with the verdict of the court below. It is exceedingly difficult to assign any motive for the atrocious crime for which Taylor has paid the penalty of his life. Ira Mullins was a noted moonsbiner—a sort of king among the lawless mountaineers of the Virginia and Kentucky mountains, who think {t their duty and right to make and sell all the whisky and brandy they want) without going through the formality of pay- ing a revenue tax. Some years ago Ira and @ relative, also named Mullins, were going through Gladeville, the county seat of Wise county, with a wagon load of moonshine whisky. “Doc.” Taylor, who was then a deputy United States marshal, attempted to arrest them. and in the fight that en- sued the younger Mullins was killed. From that time Ira “had it in” for Taylor, as he declared, and ever afterward Taylor went armed to the teeth to protect himself, as he claimed, from the vengeance of Ira Mul- lins and his gang. Ira Mullins for some time previous to his death had been para- lyzed and unable to sit up, unable to move his body, owing to a wound received in a fight with revenue officers.

The czarewich Russian officers, that he rejoiced at the self-constraint of the crowds. He further said that he profoundly admired the French army. M. Judett in his letter says that for reasons of prudence he withholds impor- tant utterances by the csarewich which, however, if they were known, would be more than agreeable to Frenchmen. In return for the honors shown the Rus- sian naval officers in this city the members of the press in Paris last night gave a ban- quet to 112 members of the French press, and others.

Taylor was tried in Wise county twelve years ago for the murder of a man named John Moore, but was acquitted for lack of . It was charged, and currently believed, that he was hired by a man named Rutherford to murder Moore, but the testi- mony at the trial was insufficient to con- viet, and he went free. Several other crimes were laid at his door, but the evicence was always lacking to bring him to justice. It was only the accident of Wilson Mullins’ wife having gotten out of the wagon to walk over the mountain on that fatetul morning in May that furnished a witness to the quintuple murder for which Luc.

There has been published here and in Buenos Ayres many letters showing the Measures taken by Admiral Mello to avoid bombarding the city of Rio Janeiro. With these letters are also published all of the dispatches from foreign legations, with the replies received by them.

Young Martin Gets Tangled About the ‘Train, Wrecking. Four small boys were brought into the Police Court this morning and questioned concerning the wrecking of the Frederick train on the 9th of last month, and William Satterfield, called by his companions “Tough,” was again in court to abide the Judge’s decision in the case. Elmer Martin, the principal and only witness against Sat- terfield, was also present and he was again examined. His evidence was stated by the court in this way: ‘He traveled 1,000 miles that day by actual count and was in forty different places at one time.” His testimony concering the manner in which the “fish plate” was put on the track by “Tough” corroborated the statement of the rallroad men as to how the accident was caused. Lawyer O'Neill, however, was looking af- ter interests of Satterfield and he said that he had witnesses by whom he could prove that there were rotten ties near the scene of the accident. The new witnesses were examined, but instead of throwing light on the affair they only gave evidence which gave the court additional reason to discredit the story of the witness Martin. A sensation was caused in the case when Mrs. Martin, mother of the witness, ap- peared and made the statement that her boy was not a competent witness ‘and sald she hoped the court would send no boy to prison on his testimony. “J want my boy examined,” she said. “What is the matter with the boy?” the judge asked. “He has had no home for seven years,” she answered. “He has been tossed about from pillar to post and I think his mind is not right.” “This isdone to slander me,” said the father of the boy, who added that divorce proceedings were pending between his wife and himself. “The boy is competent,” he said. “I_would hate to see anybody condemned on Elmer's testimony,” added his mother. Mr. Mullowney said he could not claim a conviction In light of the evidence. Judge Miller .commenting on the case, sald that the ‘fish plate’ was put on the track by somebody and he hoped this case would not end the investigation. The judge warned the boys that they had better keep away from the railroad tracks, and sald that if any of them were caught putting anything on the track they would cer- tainly have to go to the reform school dur- ing minoritv. The court told them their mothers and fathers could not save them. In conclusion the court said he hoped the officers would continue the investiga- tion and straighten out the affair {f pos- sible. The charge against the Satterfield boy was dismissed. —_——_— THE COURTS. Probate Court—Judge Hagner. Today—Estate of Geo. L. Sheriff; will ad- mitted to probate and letters testamentary to Glenn T.

How Prisoners at North Attleboro Were Able to Slake Their Thirst. For some time the police of this town, says a dispatch to the Boston Herald from North Attleboro, have been puzzled by a great mystery. When men were arrested for drunkenness and put into the lockup it was naturally expected that after a few hours they would be sober enough to at- tend court. But this did not prove true at all times, and the prisoners have lately been found to be more intoxicated in the morning than they were when arrested at night. A few days ago one of the officers who had occasion to go to the lockup solved the mystery. The cells there are built some distance from the front window, which is on a level with the street. This window is guarded by eight two-inch iron bars placed atiout four inches apart. Between the window and the cells is a large stove. When a fire is built in the stove it can be regulated by a long stick which is furnished the prisoners. This stick has a notch in it, by the use of which the stove door can be opened and closed. The prisoners for some time have been using the stick for other purposes. They would put some money in the notch of the stick and poke it out between the bars in the window to a “pal,” who would take the money and buy a bottle of whisky with it. The bottle could then be tied to the stick and drawn into the cell of the man who had the stick. The liquor could easily be passed from cell to cell. The placing of a fine iron netting over the window, it is thought, will stop drunkenness at the town lockup. as ‘soo = Harvard's New Teleseope. The new photographic telescope of the Harvard observetory, the gift of Miss C. W. Bruce of New York, will soon be ready for use. The mountings are in position, and only a few details are necessary to complete the work which has now been going on for about two years. The tele- scope is the largest of its kind in the world. Its peculiar feature is the possession of two independent objectives, a “doublet” forming a rectilinear combination, which does away with distortion, and thus makes possible accurate charting of a large por- tion of the heavens. The lenses, which were made by Clark of Cambridge, are two feet in diameter, the = length of the combination being 7 1-4 feet. ——— A Peculiar New Disease.

London Believed to Be Buying American Securities. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. ——_—__. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Today'’s market Opened strong at an advance ranging from 1-4 to 2 per cent and held well throughout the morning. London opened weak, but soon rallied for a gain of 1-8 to 1 per cent and had some buying orders in our market. The course of speculation has be- come more general and instead of a few specialties monopolizing the attention of traders, the entire list is now moving ‘up- ward in sympathy with the times. Opera- tors are inclined to work for a reaction and have adjusted their accounts to suit their views, Buyers continue to appear whenever @ cheap stock is to be disposed of and a Teaction at the moment would not be per- mitted to make any dangerous inroads on the week’s improvement in values. The advance in sugar, which acted as an incentive to the rest of the list, has sud- denly come to a standstill at figures 2 1-2 per cent above those predicted the engineering the advance. Tete eto te. comprising what has come to be known as the “industrial Congress. se another sustained period of activity sets in. ket is not affected by reactions, and prices are still confidently predicted. The general character of the mar- higher Sterling exchange was weak at a reduc- tion to 481 1-2a482 1-2 in posted rates. It looks as if London had been a moderate buyer of our securities, and would probably ship us some gold in payment next week. Among the more prominent stocks in to- day’s market were Louisville and Nashville, which gained 1 1-4 per cent to 60 3-4, Mis- souri Pacific gained 2 per cent to % 14, gained 1 to $2 3-8 Chicago Gas regained yesterday's losses and an additional 1 1-4 per cent to 68 3-4. The remainder of the list was strong at fractional gains. Money continued in good supply, without any change in rates from those heretofore quoted, namely, 1 1-2 per cent on call and 5 and 6 for time. The exchanges at the clearing house ag- gregated $78,301,171; balances, $5,472,637, and the sub-treasury’s debt balance, $918,098. The loan committee repo the cancel- lation of $40,000 additional certificates and called $150,000 for retirement on Monday, re- ducing outstanding total to $1,690,000. Prices during the closing hour were frac- tiorally below the best figures of the previ- ous hour, and trading less spirited. Tomorrow's bank statement is expected to make another good showing, and will prob- ably be added to the general fund of specu- lative capital already influencing prices. The London Market. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. LONDON, Oct. 27.—One hundred and ten thousand sovereigns were reeelved today from Australia and 50,000 were sent to Hol- land. The price of bar gold is unchanged. The belief is confirmed that the export of gold to America will not be large. Silver has given way to 331-4 with weak buying for November and 33 pence for rupee pa- per. The rise in Americans continued until the close. Louisville was especially buoy- ant and there ts a feeling that the im. proved tone will spread to all the stock markets. —_—_—_ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
