One of the deceased son’s FRANK, went to bed a few minutes after the two persons came in, but her other son, CHARLES, remained for nearly three-quarters of an hour, and then went to bed to his brother, leaving the two strangers sitting with his mother, sister and servant girl; but he had scarcely laid down when he heard the report of a pistol, and on going into the kitchen found that his mother had been shot, but did not see either of the two men. The daughter and servant girl stated, that a few minutes after Charles had left the kitchen, one of the men attempted to take down a gun from the chimney place, and deceased called out to her son, when one of them pulled out a pistol out of his breast and shot deceased, who survived only a few minutes – the two men ran off taking the gun with them. Deceased was between 70 and 80 years of age. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown – Evening Mail.
