Death of CJus. B. Uillls.
AN UNPROVOKED MUHDER A RE
WARD OF $1,000 OFFERED Foil THE
ARREST OF THE MURDERER.
Mr. Chas. B. Gillis, eldest son of
Judge James L. Gillis, and outee a res
Ident of Ridgway. was murdered at
the door of his residence, Mt. Pleasant
Iowa, on the evening of Feb. 23, 1881.
The following account of the deplora
ble tragedy we take from the Mt. Pleas
ant Journal:
short time after eight o'clock last
night the citizens of Mount Pleasant
were startled at a reort that flew over
the city that Charles Gillis had been
shot dead in his own house. The re
port could hardly be believed that
such a deed could have been commit
ted iu our quiet city, that an old citi
zen was murdered in cold blood, and
one that did not have a known enemy.
In a very short time hundreds of ex
cited citizens had gathered at the resi
dence of the murdered man, on West
Monroe street, and found the rcjort to
be only too true, by finding Mr. Gillis
lying dead iu the hallway where he
had been shot through the heart a few
minutes before by an unknown assas
sin. The only particulars we could
learn was that Mr. Giliis was setting
in the room with his father.Judge Gil
lis, the other members of the family
being iu another part of the house. A
short time after eight o'clock a rap was
heard at the front dour. Mr. Gillis
stepped into the hull and to the front
door and opened it. At the same time
the door was opened, his father heard a
noise in the hall and the murdered
man called for help, and the report of
a revolver was heard almost at the
same moment. Mr. Gillis stepped
into the hall as quickly as possibly and
went to the door, but no one was to be
seen, but his son lay dead at his feet.
The alarm of murder was given and in
a few minutes a number of the neigh
bors, who had heard the report of the
revolver, were soon at the house to
learn what had happened, and
could hardly realize the fact that their
highly respected neighbor hud been
murdered.
Charles B. Gillis w.s about fifty-five
years of age, and has been one of our
most highly respected citizens for the
past twenty or twenty-five yeurs, and
did not haven known enemy iu the
city or county us any one knew of.
The murder is clouded In a mystery
that it is hoped may be brought to
light and the perpetrator receive the
fullest penalty of the law,
Physicians made an examination
and found that the ball had entered
the left side and passed iu an upward
direction, cutting the aorta close to the
heart, passing through the right lung
and lodged under the right shoulder
blade, producing instant death.
Coroner Leedham was called and
empannelled the following jury: Dr.
MeClure, Dr. C. F. Marsh, J. A. Hig
gins.
The City and County will each offer
to day, a reward of $500, making $1000
for the capture of the murderer.
At the present writing the jury have
not given a verdict.
