STABBED IN HEART
BUTJCNEW IT NOT
FATAL ENDING OF A LONG
STANDING FAMILY FEUD.
Edward Moran Plunges a Knife
Twice Into the Body of His
Brothor-ln-Law, Thomas GUllgan.
Ono of the Thrusts Entered tho
Heart, But Gllligan Walked
Around for Some Time Unaware
of It--Moran Was Retreating When
the Killing Occurred,
A fatal stabbing affray with many
unusual features occurred In Provi
dence Saturday night. The deed was
committed by Edward Moran and his
victim was his sister's husband, Thomas
Gllligan.
The affair took place In the road at
the ten hundred block of West Mnrket
street ubout 10 o'clock- p, m. The men
had quarreled early In the evening, but
were quieted and walked home together
In company with the peacemaker. At
10 o'clock they met again, renewed the
quarrel and engaged In a light that
ended In Moran stubbing Gllligan twice,
ono of the thrusts penetrating tho
heart.
Three years ago Gllligan lived with
his wife's patents nnd It appears had
some kind of a niother-ln-lnw quarrel.
There was a coolness between Gllligan
and Moran, growing out of this trouble,
and frequently when In their cups they
had hot words.
Saturday both of them had been
drinking, although not to Intoxication.
At t o'clock they met at tho corner of
West Market street and a little un
named cross street leading over to Mo
hawk street, where both resided. They
exchanged angry words nnd blows were
imminent when a neighbor happened
along and Induced them to cease their
quarreling and go home. They walked
with tho neighbor to Mohawk street
nnd separated on apparently not angry
terms.
MEN MET AGAIN.
After supper Gllligan went to town,
Later In the evening Moran went to
the home of his brother, a few block1)
down West Market street, to borrow a
novel for Sunday reading. At 10 o'clock
he was returning homeward In com
pany with George McLaughlin, a one
legged man, and Just as he had reached
the corner where the quarrel of tho
early evening took pluce, Gllligan, who
had come out ot an adjacent saloon,
overtook him.
"Well, you arc not saying ns much
as you have been saying all day," Gllli
gan remarked when Moran neglected to
notice him.
"I can say as much ns I please.
and nobody Is going to stop me," Mor
an replied.
One word led to another nnd Unully
to blows. They wore lighting but a
few moments, according to McLaugh
lin, who stood helplessly by because
of his Infirmity, when Gllllgnn Jumped
back from the side walk Into the gut
ter and exclaimed with an outh "I'm
blabbed," at the same time holding
out his left arm from which blood was
freely flowing.
Moran retreated down West Market
street with Gllligan following him. He
stopped In front of Mrs. Patrick Mor
rison's house nnd, according to his
own story, tried to open the gate and
escape, as he feared Gllligan, who
measures six feet and weighs one hun
dred and eighty pounds, would suiely
kill him after receiving the stab
wound.
THREW STONES AT HIM.
Falling to open the gate he faced
about to meet his pursuer. Gllligan
stooped and picking up a couple of
big stones hurled them at Moran.
"You're a dirty coward," Moran was
heard to exclaim. This, apparently,
caused Gllligan to stop I1I3 stone
throwing and unmindful of bis badly
gashed arm made a rush nt Moran.
They grappled and In the scuttle that
ensued Moran again used his knife,
thrusting the blade Into GlU'.gan's
breast. While locked together they
fell to the ground nnd rolled over Into
the gutter, Moran on top,
A young man named Michael Me
Gulre, who happened along, attempt
ed to separate them, but received a
thrust of a knife In the palm of the
right hand and scurried away.
Patrolman John Saltry, who lives on
the opposite side of the street from
where the fight was going on, had been
aroused by tho first sounds of the
quarrel and dressing hurriedly ran out
to see what the trouble was. When
he reached tho scene of the fight Mor
on was pommeling his big antagonist
nnd Giltlgan was trying to save him
self from tho furious blows.
Tho ofllcer tried to drag Moran to his
feet, but he would not let go his hold
around Gllllgan's neck until the officer
said: "Let go Moran. this is Saltry."
"Oh, all right, I'll quit," said Moran
getttlng to his feet. The officer told
them they could both consider them
selves under arrest; that they had
been making too much nolee around
there that evening, and to teach them
a lepson he proposed to lock them up.
GILL1GAN ASSENTED.
"All right John. Lock us up. That'H
the best thing to do," 6ald Gllligan
very demurely.
"Yes, lock us up. Paltry. I'm per
fectly satisfied," Moran said.
While Patrolman Saltry, was hold
ing the men and waiting for a mes
senger to bring him his hat, coat and

shoes, Glllllgan asked to be allowed to
go nwny a little distance as ho was
feeling sick and wanted to vomit.
The permission being granted, Gllli
gan withdrew. Ho had not gone far
when he cnlled for the olflcer and said
ho was getting weak. Patrolman Sal
try suggested taking him Into tho
hausu and binding up his arm before
starting for the police station which
Is three-quarters of a mile away.
As they were going Into tho house,
the ofllcer noticed a largo blotch of
blood on Ullllgnn's shirt. "Weren't
you cut more than once Tom," ho ask
ed, "No, I guess not," ho replied
feebly. "Only on tho arm." The ofll
cer cnlled for a light, and barring
Gllllgan's breast discovered a Jagged
hole In the heart region, from which
the blood was fairly squirting.
Gllllgnn never know that a knife
blade hnd entered his heart or even
that he was stabbed tho second time,
until the ofllcer disclosed the wound
to him. At sight of It he began to
grow weak In the knee and but for
assistance would have fallen.
"I'm dono for, John," ho said cooly
nnd without a tremor. "I feel myr.elf
going,
A stretcher was Improvised from
loose boards, Moran helping In the
work. Four of the large crowd that
had now collected picked up the
stretcher and started with the wound
ed man for his home. On the way over,
and when within forty yards of the
house, Gllligan raised himself to a sit
ting posture, gurgled something about
his back paining him and, as it struck
by a club, dropped back dead. He never
said a woid relating to the light.
TWO KNIVES FOUND.
Patrolman Saltry was hurriedly
dressing, Intending to follow nnd get
a statement from him, when one of the
crowd came back with the word that
he had died on the way to his homo.
The officer put Moran In charge of two
citizens nnd began a Fearch for the
weapon. He found n yellow, bone
handled, nnc-bladcd knife, with the
blade closed, and blood on the handle,
lying near the sidewalk. Ho showed It
to Moran, but Moran failed to identify
It ns his knife. The search was re
newed nnd nnothcr knife was found
near the middle of th road, Just oppo
site the scene of the scuffle.
It was a small black, odd-shaped
knife, tho handle being curved like the
"line of beauty" In the stem of capital
letters and the largest of Its three
blades being so ground down as to have
n concaved edge. This largest blade,
two and one-half Inches In length, was
open and there were slight traces of
blood nt the hilt. Morun Identified It
as his. He went out with the ollleer
und selecting n stone weighing ten
pounds, said Gllligan had hit him with
It, nnd asked the officer to keep It along
with the knives, which tho ofllcer
agreed to do. The stone had a few
drops of blood on It. He nlso declared
that Gllligan had a billy, but no trace
of it could be found.
On the way to the station house
Mornn enved In and bad to be given
stimulants. From that time on, though,
he held himself together well, only oc
casionally giving way to crying. He
frequently, however, expressed the
wish that he might exchange places
with his victim.
Dr. E. 7,, Bower arrived on the scene
soon nfter the occurrence, but too late
to bo of any good. Dr. John T. Mc
Grath, acting coroner, mnde an exam
ination of the wounds and found that
tho thrust in the breast bad passed be
tween the fifth and sixth ribs and en
tered a distance of three and one-half
Inches, showing that an Inch of the
handle must have followed the blade
Into the wound or elso that the blow
was so strong that the breast was
forced In an Inch when Moron's list
grasping the handle struck It.
Moran was committed to the county
Jail by Alderman Roberts and was tak
en there in tho patrol wagon yesterday
afternoon at two o'clock. He would
not say anything when a Tribune re
porter sought to get his story of the
affair, except to pitifully repeat "For
God's sake don't speak to me about It."
Moran sustained two cuts on the
head besides several bruises. The cuts
have the appearance of being mnde by
a blunt Instrument, rather than a
knife.
A MARRIED MAN.
Gllligan was thirty-eight years of
age and leaves a wife and two chil
dren. Moran is forty-two years old.
He Is ti married man but has no chil
dren. Both are miners and both came
of very respectable families.
. THERE WAS NO FIRE.
But Chief Hlckey and His Bride Re
turned to Scranton.
Chief Hlckey, of the fire depart
ment, and his bride got a rousing re
ception on their return to Scranton
nt 1 o'clock yesterday morning. A fire
alarm sounded by District Chief Mc
Manus from box 12 brought the district
companies to the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western depot where Chief
Hlckey was received with a great deal
of noise.
When Chief Hlckey left Scranton nf
ter being married last Thursday morn
ing he said he would not return until
Wednesday. Fearing some kind of a
demonstration, he kept the real hour
of his return a secret. On Saturday
he telegraphed District Chief McManus
he would reach home at 1 o'clock Sun
day morning. The hour suggested
Chief Hlckey's purpose to escape an
ovation.
Hundreds of persons In the business
section of the city followed the lira
department apparatus to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western depot. When
Chief Hlckey appeared, he and his
bride, the latter's brother and daugh
ter, William Glegcr und Miss Mnmo
Fnsshold and Miss Kate Brier received
a tremendous reception. Tho crowd
yelled and the bells on the Crystal,
Nay Aug, Phoenix, Century and Hook
and Ladder npparatus were rung.
As soon ns opportunity permitted the
bridal party entered a cab and start
ed for Chief and Mrs. Hlckey's home
on Plttston avenue. South Side. The
cab was followed up Lackawanna ave

KILLED ONE AND
WOUNDED ANOTHER
BARTLETT DID TERRIBLE WORK
WITH HIS REVOLVER. '
Shot nnd Instantly Killed James
Moffltt and Sent Two Bullets Into
the Head of Warren Richmond.
He Camo to This City But Went
to Mooslo Yesterday Morning
Where Ho Was Placed Under Ar
rest by Chief of Police Loftus, or
Plttston.
George Bartlett shot and Instantly
killed James Molfltt. of Butler Hill,
Plttston, Saturday night and seriously
Injured Warren Richmond. A ball
from Bartlett's revolver passed
through Moflltt's brain killing him In
stantly. Two balls entered Rich
mond's head nnd nro there yet but the
attending physicians say he will re
cover. He Is so weak, however, that It
has been decided tiot to probe for tho
balls Just yet. The Injured man Is ut
hU home on Butler Hill.
After doing tho shooting Itartlett es
caped and made his way to .this city.
Early yesterday morning he went to
Mooslc on a trolley car and was de
tained there until tho nnivnl ot Chief
of Pollco Loftus, of Plttston, who plac
ed him under arrest. lie was some
what Intoxicated but his faculties
were not so benumbed that he could
not realize tho terrible position in
which ho Is placed. He cried bitterly
as ho was being taken back to Pltts
ton. He Is now In the county Jail at
Wllkcs-Bnrre.
The murderer Is a married man nnd
resides on Scarle street, Plttston, with
his wife and three children. He Is 33
years of nge, a miner by occupation
and has heretofore borne a fairly good
reputation. Occasionally he became
intoxicated nnd was then noted for his
ungovernable temper. He wns not
wholly sober when he did the shoot
ing. STORY OF THE SHOOTING.
There are several stories told about
tho shooting, but the ono which seems
to bo nearest the truth Is as follows:
Some time ago a keg of beer wns stolen
from a Plttston saloon and Bnrtlctt,
Moflltt and Richmond were among
those arrested for tho theft. They were
arraigned before Aldermnn Barrett,
but tho matter was settled by the ac
cused agreeing to pay for the beer and
also satisfy the alderman's bill of costs.
Altogether this amounted to J13 nnd It
was paid by Bartlett, the others agree
ing to reimburse him for their share of
the bill.
They did not do so, however, and
Saturday evening, when the men met
In tho saloon of Mrs. Donohue, of Mill
street, Plttston, they had angry words
over the matter which resulted in
Bartlett drawing his revolver nnd fir
ing. After the first shot Moflltt dropped
to the floor with n bullet through his
brain. This seemed to further enrage
Bartlett and he commenced to lire In
a very reckless manner. Those In the
room hastily sought tho exits, but all
were not quick enough. Richmond, too,
sank to tho floor with two bullets In
his head.
Bartlett Immediately left tho place
and started toward Scranton, reaching
hero late at night. Early yesterday
morning he rode to Mooslc on a trolley
car and went Into the hotel of ex-Mayor
Loftus at that place. Some one on the
enr recognized him nnd Informed Mr.
Loftus that he was wanted at Plttston
for murder. Mr. Loftus sent word to
Chief of 'Police Loftus that Bartlett
was at his place, nnd then by various
ruses kept the murderer within doors
until the ofllcer arrived.
MADE NO RESISTANCE.
Bartlett mnde no resistance and
when Informed of the terrible result of
his work of the previous night he cried
bitterly for some time and expressed
the greatest contrition for his act.
Moflltt, his victim, is 35 years of age,
single, and the only support of his
mother and sister. Deputy Coroner
Jacob W. Evans empanelled a Jury Sat
urday night Immediately after the
shooting. After the body wus viewed
It was taken to Moflltt's home.
