On Sunday morning last tbe awful
news of the murder of Mrs. Robert
McCord, of Loudon township, former-
ly of Exeter, as also the suicide of her
nephew, Robert Fulford, of Chicago,
former resident of Exeter. was re-
ceived by the community bereabout
with surprise and sadness. The facts
S, of the case and the history of the mur-
derer and those more directly related
to him are substantially as follows The tragedy occurred on Saturday
evening about 0 o'clock. at the home of
the McCord family. in London town-
ship, near Ildertora
Robert Fulford, the assassin, was
Mrs. McCord's nephew and sorenalaw.
and years ago lived with Mr. and Mrs.
McCord, in Exeter. He was a carpen-
ter by trade, and baa lately been re -
Adding in St. Louie, Mo., where n few
years ago he was a successfel budding
contractor. which oceupatiou be fen
'Sowed in Chicago previously. Fulford
purchased a ticket from Chime to
Buffalo, and visited the Pan-American
Exposition, where he disposed of the
return portion of his ticket to a broker.
Saturday morning be reached Loudon
from Buffalo, and spent tbe day tbere.
He made enquiries about getting some
DUO to drive Illte to Merton. Atter.
Wards he took a room in RIchruend-st
near the Grigg House, saying he might
eta.y tbere two weeks. Fulford had
info valises. He left one at this board-
ing house, and, taking the other with
him, he boarded the afternoon L. H. its
B train, and reached liderton shout 0
o'clock. The hotelraan secured a Man
to drive him to McCord's. He left his
eecond valise at tbe 'hotels. stating to
the landlord that he woad be back'
that night. William Swart; the
driver, was soon ready and on the way
to McCord's. Fulford talked cheery,
was sober and quite sane. They reach-
ed the farra gate at 6 o'clock. Fulford
alighted and told Swartz that he was
going in to get bis wife; to drive down
the road and return in ten minutes.
He had asked the driver what his fee
should be, but. did not pay him the $1,
no doubt intending to do so when they
got back to the hotel.
Fulford went up the lane, and when
coming to the house saw Edith stand-
ing on the platforru. He took several
steps towarcle her, but noticing several
persons in the yard milking, retraced
his steps and proceeded to where the
milking of the cows was in progress.
Mrs. McCord, her disughters Annie and
and Lila, and son David, were milking
in the yard, Mr, McCord being similar-
ly engaged at, the barn, the whole fam-
ily being within abort distance of each
other. Fulford passed through a small
gate and accosted Min. McCord. who
was sitting on 81.001. They shook
bands, and he enquired about her
daughter. Gertie. who was his wife.
Mrs. McCord replied that Guns was
well, but that she was not at their
place ; "she's not at Exeter, either."
she said.
At this juncture Fulford drew his
hands from his coat pockets, each hold
ing a. bright new revolver. Mrs, Mc-
Cord was heard to say, "there's no
need for anything like that," when be
tired four shots, aimmg at the helpless
woman, who fell forward at his feet.
One shot. entered Mrs. McCord's body
just below the left breast, striking tbe
apex of the heart.; two more struck
,illeitgr in front of the left thigh, and as
e fell another bullet crashed into her
brain. Then, 'without a moment's
heeitation, he dropped one revolver,
and taking the unused one in his right
hand, put the muzzle of the pistol to
his mouth and shot himself dead.
Mr. McCord came out of the barn as
Fulford pointed the pistol at the un-
fortunate woman. Seizing the only
weapon at band, a large stone, Mr. Mc
Cord ran to his wife's assistance. but
before he could reach her, the tragedy
was complete. Mrs. McCord s body
was at once borne to the house by her
.husband and son David, the last spark
of life flickering out while she was still
in their arms she did not utter a
word. The body of the murderer was
.taken to the barn by the neighbors,
who had arrived later. It wets after-
wards removed to London, where it re
. mained for some days, his friends in
Kinburn, Carleton Co., requesting
that the remains be buried in London,
and accordingly were interred in Mt.
Pleasant cemetery, on Wednesday
morning.
All the circumstances leading up to
this sad tragedy, have been of the
" most uninviting, unpleasant and un-
comfortable nature.
Robert Fulford was born in Fitzroy
township, in Carleton Co.' Ontario,
and had. reached the age of40 years.
While a young boy he moved to 'Os-
borne township, and lived for some
Tears with his uncle, Robt. McCord.
Afterwards he and his brother engag-
ed at farming about a mile south of
_Exeter, but adversity overtaking them
they sold out and left. This was about
tweuty-five years ago. Robert Went
to Manitoba, where a few years subse-
nmently he married his first wife, Miss
Mills, formerly of London, England,
now Mrs. Thomas Yellow, of Exeter, a
most estimable lady, who worked side
-by side with him to lay tbe foundation
for the -goodly fortune he possessed a
few years ago, and who by good man-
agement assisted him materially in ac-
enmulating wealth. They moved to
ancago where he became a builder
mad contractor. His wife and he were
the best of friends with the McCord
family arid visited them at times. One
ofthese visits occurred when Geroie vvas
18 years old, and a handsome girl. Se
ems attendiarg a country school then,
aad Mrs. Pafford becoming so atta.ch-
ad to her, sought her, parer ts to allow
her to go to Chicago, live with them,
and continue her studies there.
Gertie remained in Chicon.° for som e
.44w, visiting her 13/Jrne in Oxeter, per-
ha:litany. About 7 years a4) he edit
Ors. Fulford. came together on a visit.
Ana Fulford returned home, leaving
(fettle with laser p tents x few days
after Fulford wrote Genie, stating
dual be had waren a itle ation for
her, and to come at once. Gertie went,
and within a couple of weeks the elope
ment followed, the runaways going to
St. Louis. Mrs. Fulford in due course
applied for a divorce, which was
granted, together with her legal shars
of tbe estate. As the laws of tbe Stet
of Illinois will not permit the raarriege
of first cousins, Pafford arc -3. Mc-
Cord were married in Inilna.nree.
Fulford and. Gertie's was not a happy
inarriage. They finally settled in St.
Louis, and lived happily for a
time, and luxury was evident on
every hand, Fulford followed hie for-
mer occupation, that of a builder and
contractor. He made money, but be
spent it in dissipation. He drank,
gambled, and in many other ways
wane the pace that kills, until, during
the past few years, his young wife was
not haying a very happy time of it.
As far as appearances went, Fulford
was quits a fine fellow -six feet two.
and well built, weighing 200 pounds,
a dressy man, smooth -shaven, with
strong, handsome features that bore
the inevitable impress of a stormy,
strenuous Rte. His qualities were not
as likeable as his person. His temper
at tiinea WAS wicked and ungovernable.
Ile treated his first wife in a most
shameful manner and threatened more
than once to kill her. The same
threats, in due course were made to
Gertie, but he also said he would send
tier to the insane asylum for life,
Last March the McCord family moved
from their old home, on tbe Thames
road, Osborne township. to London
township, where tbey bought the
Friendship farm of 150 acres, on can, 9.
In Si. Loins it was always the same
story, more neglect of business, more
drinking more dissipation, 1110re bru-
tality to his wife, more threateeings
te kill bor. This stat e es .1 affeirS WAS
diaSOnered dne ef tire Mg(Serd
and one of the girls, who wept some
time ago to St. Lows to visit them.
Fulfordn brutal conduct, having con-
tinued, about two months ago, when
his threats to cut her tbroat became
more frequent, his wife left him and
cause to visit, at her father'S home.
She stayed there only 0. couple of
days, king enough to consult, her
solicitors, about some property than
she owued, but which her busband
was claiming. Fulford had threaten-
ed so frequently to kill her tbat aim
did not wish him to find her there,
S() she went, to stay with friends at St.
Marys, the family of Mr. 1 O. Ready,
with whom her sister Dia was then
Staying,
Fulford, meanwhile,ro
St. Louis to Chicago, and from there
be wrote several letters to his wife,
who returned them to him unopened.
Ile wrote also to her father -letters
that were first angry and threatening
and then written in quieter words,
with protestations of a reformed life,
and better purposes. Little faith was
placed in his words, for the family
knew what kind of a men he was.
They knew that he held them respon-
sible for keeping his wife from him,
and had said that be would kill then).
Fulford, angered already by his
wifendesertion, and maddened still
more by receiving again his unopened
letters, apparently made up his mind
to come forties... get her to return with
him, or kill her and himself if she re-
fused.
It is possible that this decision to
act, in such a desperate manner was
not made in Chicago. If it was he
decided at the same time to enjoy
himself a little before tbe end. Be
bought a return ticket to Buffalo,
where he sold the return port.ion.
A messenger was dispatched to Arva
to summon Dr. McNeill and to ap-
prise relatives of the dread affair. Mrs.
Fulford was telegraphed to at St.
Marys, and came home at once. She
is prostrated over tire tragic end of
her another.
Fulford's body is that of a well-
built man, 6 feet 2 inches in height
and moderately stout, his weightprob-
ably being 200 pounds. His face was
clean-shaven and full -shaped while his
forehead was a retreating one, and his
dark brown hair grew far up on his
temples and brawl He was neatly
and quietly dressed in a thin. dark,
pepper-and-salt suit, striped shirt and
cuffs, white turn down collar, blue
striped tie, black underwear. white
socks and tan boots. Ms hat was a
light pearl gray felt, n in size.
In bis pockets were found $428.58en
cash, a watch and chain. a pocket
comb, a brown -handled knife, a round
pocket mirroi.v in a leather cover, part
of a plug of chewhig tobacco, one
blank memorandum book, another
containing addresses and a number of
business cards. No railway ticket.
was found in the pocket. Twenty re-
volver earl ridges were in the trouser
pockets.
The weapons with which Fulford
committed his crime were both new 38 -
calibre, live -shooter revolvers, S. & W.
pattern. Both were self -cockers,
and one -the weapon which killed Mrs.
sect -an -Li -WISH Ilammerb-ss. The latter
contained four empty and one charged
cartridge, while the revolver with,.
which the unfortunate man teok his
own Ne contained two loaded and.
three fired shells.
Mrs Robert McCord's maiden name
was Sarah Porter, and she was 54
years of age. Mr, and Mrs. McCord
came to Exeter some 27 years ago,
as bride and groom from Pembroke
county, and purchased the farm on
the Thames road, where they lived up
to the time of moving to London tp.
The fa,mily were held in the highest es-
teem, deceased being a women of
sterling qualities, amiable, kind, and
benevolent. She was a member of
the Methodist church,, and worked
assiduously for its interests.
There are six children in tbe
their ages ranging from 15 to 26 years.
There are four girls. Annie, Gertie,
Lila and Edith, and the two sous, Ly-
man and David. She was married to
Mr. McCord in Pembroke county,
where her father, Thomas Porter, still
VUlford's father is dead. He Was one
of eight sons. One of his brothers, as
Allmon by an address urion him, is P.
Fulford, of 176 South Clinton streep,
Chicago. Wm. rulford, of Di ain melt
postoffice, Lanark county, is a cousin,
and David Fulford of Carp postoffice,
Lanark county, is an uncle. Fulford's
mother and bis wife'9 father were bSo-
ther iund sister. P. Pafford is married
to a former Miss" Morgan, of Exeeeie
who are well to do and 1iV1n happily
in a handsome residence Chicago.
The funerel of the late Mrs. McCord.
took place 0!i Tuesday, her re mei ns
neing ieterred iii the St. John's
Tffi E X. .E
cemetery, near London. The atten-
dance was very large, many driving
from Exeter to show their sympathy
for the stricken family.
Mrs. Yellow (nee Mrs. Fulforn No. 1)
told a Terms reporter that barring an
occasional drinking spell, during which
he exhibited a badtemper, she bad al-
ways lived happily with Fniford, un-
til he became infatuated with Gertie.
From that time dates ber trouble, and
because of his subsequent abuse of her
and the elopement with Gertie, Mrs.
Fulford No. I was reluctantly torced
to seek a divorce, the item in Wednes-
day's London city papers, reflecting
unjustly upon Mrs. Yellow, to the
contrary notwithstanding. Mrs. Yel-
low considers that she has been tin.
justly referred to by the daily Press,
and asks us to publish the following
lettere, received by her from Fulford,
as a vindication against what ban been
published, accusing her of Fulford'e
downfall. Following are the letters,
verbatim;
April ard, 1901.
Deer Mrs, Yellow, I wane to ask a
favor of you. Gertie has left me,
she went away this mornsug to do
some shopping and in the evening
when she should of been home then I
missed her, and wondered why she did
notcome home. I then went up stairs
and found that she bad taken all ber
olothes with her. Now as a dear good
friend, will you give me any infertile
-
tion in regard to Where site is, and the
address of her Father, he has moved
from Exeter, and I think that they
put her op to go home; please keep
this letter a secret. and write just as
neon as you get this letter, and you
will SS thousaed times oblige ase,
yours most truly,
Rohn Fulford,
Maplewood p 0.

St. Louis Comity, Mo
Mrs. Yellow was averse to answering
the above letter, but knowing the bad
disposition of the man wheu arouseilto
auger, both she and Mr. Yellow., fear-
ing disastrous results, thought it beet
to acknowledge tbe letter.
Chicago Ill. Apr 18th 1901
Mrs Yellow, dear friend.
I would like if you could find ont if
my wife is at Isome.1 have never beard
from them and would like if you
would easy nothing about it for it we
sbould live together agam I would not
want any scandal. 1 dont want them
to get down on me.
Was surprised when you said
that I talked about you,' never did. it
was them, and send it was me. Please
say nothing about it at present, and if
in a reasonable time eay wife dues not
corne back then I will write an article
for the London papers which will
make them side I will say you were
always a good woman, and it was
very wrong of them to talk so of you.
Tell Mr. Yellow that I ani much oblig-
ed to him for letting you write to me.
May God bless you. I am broken heart.
ed, write soon,
yours very truly,
Robb. Fulford,
850 Monroe St.
Chicago, Ill.
Apr. 23rd, 1901
Mrs. Yellow, Dear Madam and friend.
I would say that I am highly pleased
with Mr. 'Yellow. I think by the way
you write that he is a perfect gentle-
man for letting you write to me. He
need never be alarmed at you for
writing to nie, as you are a lady that
would defend your honor, as a lady in
spite of heaven and earth, I must tell
you that Gerty left me in it most cruel
way. We traded a house in St. Louis
county for some cash and two lots in
Chicago, free and clear of all encumb-
rance, and I had the lots made out in
her name. When the transaction was
closed she skipped out, but you know
me as a business man. .Before she
went home two years ago. I had her
give me the power of attorney for me
to convey and sell or buy in her name,
so that when she skipped I used with.
out delay and conveyed the property
to C. B. Clemons, and he conveyed the
same back to me. She and they are
ignorant of all this, so that I will not
allow her one dollar. Please say noth-
ing about this matter. I got a letter
from the old man -I will call him old
man because he wrote sir instead ot
dear son, and signed his name, yours
R. He wrote me it letter and said be
was snrprised that Gertie had skipped
out, said that he did not know where
she was, which I know to be a lie. and
she got her mail at Kirkwood. I got
my mail at Maplewood; they influenc-
e -1 her to leave me, and I will get even
with them if I have to swing for it.
Yon know what will power I have got.
The dirty, low -bred idea of them run-
ning you down to clear themselves.
You were not to Name in tbe least,
and I consider that Mr. Yellow has
got an honest, noble wife, -one that he
should prize like a jewel. I svill get an
article up fax the papers • and send to
you, and I want you to have it put in
the London papers, not to let anybody
know that I sent it through the mails,
so that they cannot have me arrested
for sending any such matter through
the U. S. mails, which you know are
very strict in such matters. Try and
do your level best and find out if she is
there or not. They may have her
stored away somewhete you know.
She tanked shamefully about me,
while I never raid a bad woiel agains
her. When I make my will I will
make it in your favor, I will not leave
her one penny as she ruined my life. I
sold all the furniture. I think that
Lyman came and took her heme, and
that the moving to a new place was a
scherue. We did not have a happy
home, as Gertie was a little bit sulky
and had those gloomy spells. Let me
know what scheine you and Mr. Yel-
low are going to take to find out where
she is. She left a note and sold she
was going to jump into the river,
which I knew was not true. 1 tlaiuk
that there is a man in the matter
which she seeped off with. Send me
any news that you ean.
Yours most truly,
R.. Fulforcl,
359 Monroe at,, Chicago.
