THE HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY. SEPT. 1, 1$84.
Tee teetasf eey Murder.
OTTAWA, Aug. 217. One of the most
ould blooded murders over tx'wu, • ted in
in the county of Carleton took ,.:,,w at
Gouldbourno, about eighteen mile. from
this city, last evening. The .Ictim,
Robert McCaffrey, was a young farmer
of 28 years of age, un,uart ted and liver(
near his tethers home, y ire clow to
• which he Grata to an untimely end. The
circumrtanees of the *hocking affair are
as follows: On Friday morning lic-
tliffrey came to Ottawa with the inten-
tion of purchasing a horse, which be in-
tended presenting to his uarenta, to
whom he had always been extremely
kind, although making an Ind endent
livurg fur himself and living to his own
tcause. On Seturday evening between 3
ad 4 o'clock ho left f•.r hems* in a
buggy, having rade the intended pur-
chase, for which he was to have return-
ed to town un Monday. The murdered
man was last seen alive at about J o'clock
last night about half a utile (non his own
home by his hired man, who says that
he passed McCaffrey while the latter was
in oonvetsate oo with a ueighburiug far-
mer named Cheater Spearman, who was
also seated in a buggy, accompanied by
by sister. Spearivan and McCaffrey
had evidently met un the seal, for. wit',
their horses heads turned in different
direction, the two men were engaged in
low and apparently earnest conversation.
Without s,teaking to either, McCaffrey',
hired man walked un in the direction of
his employer's house. When about a
quarter of & mile distant, he was staled
by a pistol shot and shurtly after•Mc-
Caffery's horse andbaggy tame rattling
along the road, the vehiclle being empty
and the horse having evidently been
startled by the shot. Securing the ani-
mal, the servant drove hastily back and
reaching the spot where he had lately
seen McCaffrey in conversation with
Spearman, he was horrified to find the
body of the murdered man lying in the
centre of the roadway and bathed in a
pool of blood. Frank McCaffrey, the
victim's brother, war notified of the uc-
curresee and he at once left for the
scene of the matter, which was *bunt a
mile from his house and but two hund-
ru.l y'r'1 from the gate of a farm house
art. ..J by a mac named T„d1. Dr.
! Richmond w es sent f.. • and
u zan '.t wound, which was in the
rut;. , ut the heart and must have caus-
ed r.-'. 'Amorous death. Shortly after
Frank Mu.Caffrey had left the house it is
said Spearman called and asked Mc-
Caffrey s wife if she had "heard what
happened Bob," and she answered "no;
what's the matter f ' He replied "You'll
know in the morning." The murdered
man's brother drove into the city this
morning and there being no county con-
stable, mdu ed Detective McVeitty to
take the case in hand and he, accom-
panied b7 Sergeant Mljor Connors of
the Dominion police force, left fur the
scene of the tragedy this afternoon. On
the murdered man's person in an inside
waistcoat pocket, near where the fatal
bullet penetrated, were found $150 in
cash, so that it is impuaible that the
murder was committed fur the purpose
of robbery. Since the story of the mur-
der hat been circulated in -the district in
which it .ccurred, rumors have been set
afloat connecting the names of the mur-
dered man and Spearman's sister with al
scandal and the common belief is that
this is what led to murder. It is also
reported that Spearman is to be arrested
on suspicion.
carte.
Maria Spearman, the girl who was
lodged in gaol yesterday on a' charge of
having murdered Robt. McCaffrey, still
persists that she fired the fatal shot. At
first the medical men and others disbe-
lieved her confession, thinking that it
was impossible that a woman standing
on the ground, as she alleged she did at
the time the shot was fired, could have
shot a man in a buggy in such a manner
that the ball would outer the left breast
and pus downward to the right side of
the intestines. It has, however, been
since clearly shown that owing to the
position of the two vehicles, a shot fired
from the one occupied by the Spearrnan's
Gould not possibly have struck- the vic-
tim in the manner in which it did. On
the other hand, if the virl has standing
at the head ot McCaffrey's horse, as she
states, and he waa leaning forward and
downward to speak to her when she
made her final appeal, she could easily
have shot him in such a manner that the
ball would take the course above de-
scribed. It is now stated that McCaf-
frey, the victim, promised to Hurry the
girl, but postponed the ceremonyfrom
month to month. ,,, Finding at ength
that she was uncture, and that he was
to be married to another girl, she
was goaded on to desperation. She now
appears to be utterly unconscious of her
surroundings, and to care little whether
she lives or dies.
