aged about 35 years, died yesterday at No. 178 South Lamar street.
The cause of death was not given. - o o o - _______ reled Shot Gun. _______ ________ Over the Room--Particulars of the Tragedy. One of
the most shocking spectacles which has been brought to an undertaking
establishment in this city in a long time is the mutilated remains
of John Paul, who committed suicide early last night at
the McCommas place, four miles north of town on the Richardson
road. The instrument of death used by Paul was a double-barreled
shotgun. He placed the muzzle of the gun to the right side of
his face and with the toes of his right foot, pulled both triggers.
The charges literally tore his head in two and when one of Undertaker
J. E. Dunn's assistants arrived on the scene thirty minutes later,
the man was lying in a large pool of blood, and his brains and
the blood vessels of his head were scattered all over the room
and some had even splattered the walls. The remains were brought
to this city last night and dressed for burial in Undertaker
Dunn's establishment at the corner of Main and Harwood streets.
While the clever art of undertaking has patched upon the wounds
so that they can be only faintly outlined, still the evidences
of the terrible mental suffering which the man must have endured
before driven to this rash act are there and one glance tells
the story. - o o o - At residence of Dr. S. D. Thruston, 489 Live Oak street, Mr. William Chappell, aged 21 years. Funeral from residence at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. - o o o - The following
deaths are reported by the local undertakers for the week ending
yesterday: - o o o - The child
of L. Woodfolk, colored, of West Dallas, died this morning. - o o o - ________ ert Elliott. _______ _______ sults Offered to the Slayer's Mother--The Particulars. A sensational
killing occurred in East Dallas late yesterday afternoon. About
5 o'clock Thurn E. Lewis, of No. 107 Benson street, a
crayon artist by profession, but lately employed as night watchman
at the East Dallas compress, was shot and killed by Robert Elliott,
a young man about 20 years of age and a well-digger by trade.
The cause of the shooting is said to have grown out of alleged
insults offered Elliott's mother by Lewis. Lewis leaves
a family in a pitiable plight. Previous to securing employment
at the cotton compress, he had been without work for a good while
and his family was reduced to almost destitute circumstances.
He was a sufferer from some spinal trouble and couldn't perform
manual labor. His wife is a chronic invalid and a child is mentally
affected. There was a large crowd collected about the premises, and, of course, there were many different versions of the affair. Lewis' occupation compelled him to carry a pistol. Some said that he had the pistol on his person when killed; others that it was in his house, but certain that it wasn't fired, as every chamber was loaded. Mr. Dick Chamberlain, who lives in that neighborhood and has helped the Lewis family over many tight places, said: "From what I can learn, careful preparations were made for the killing. The slayer had his horse saddled, standing in front of his house and was close to it when he fired the first shot. After emptying two barrels of his gun in vain, another shell was given him which proved more successful. Mr. Lewis heard the shots, but did not know that her husband was involved until his lifeless body was brought into the house. It is a shocking affair. There isn't a poorer home in the city. Lewis died leaving his family in a poverty-stricken condition. They haven't a penny. After the shooting, the wife of Lewis and her children came to my house. Mrs. Lewis is an invalid, and has been for a long time. There are three small children and a good-sized boy who has been a helpless invalid almost from birth. Lewis was a crayon artist by profession, or enlarged pictures of something of the sort. He had been idle for several weeks. Finally, he secured employment as night watchman at the compress. Lewis was 47 years of age and a Tennessean by birth. Coming to Texas, he first located in Van Alstyne, years ago, and filled the office of constable there for several terms, I believe. He moved to Sherman from Van Alstyne, lived there several years, and then came to Dallas. He was unable to do heavy work on account of being afflicted with a weak back. By profession, he was a retoucher and enlarger of pictures." Mr. H.
L. McCorkle, who lives a short distance from the scene of the
shooting, said: Young Elliott was arrested by Police Officer Henry Tanner and brought to the city hall calaboose. He was afterwards transferred to the county jail, but when seen by a reporter, refused to make a statement. - o o o - The following
