Mstgjjle Turpin In u
The lifo of Oracle Ann Taylor, a no?
torious 'Bioodfield negress, is hangim,"
by a thread and she may at any
moment as the result of a steubtoing
ufTivty that occurred in the Ivy Av- nue
Palace at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
Cru.iie Ann Tyter and amoltlier im
gress named 'Maggie Turpin were in
lihe saloon together drinking. They had
some wordtj about u garment, whicn
led .to a tight, in the -scrap" Oracle
Ann Taylor ?proved to be the better
woman of the two, pummellng Maggie
Turpin with the agility of a trained
pugilist.
After the fray Maggie Turpin left the
saloon. A few minutes later she .
. turned with a large knife in her hand.
She was mad. Clenching her teeth and
frMtthC-ng at the mouth likie tin etrrage
aniir.lai she lushed1 at GfctaicHe Ann Tv
ler und plunged the knife blt.de .'nt
her temjplle. 'llhe blood stpui-tc-d ouit in
stream, 'but the negrcsi- undertook t
defend herself. She threw up her iitrl
arm t? wai.d off the knife. Then he
assailant slashed at her. indicting s,-\
era! ug'ly wounds, one of which severed
a large vein that caused another stream
of hlood to gush out.
Bystanders rushed up ami stopped
the enraged woman from plunging the
knife into the woman's heart. In a few
mmiult.-s Oraoie Ann Tyler had faintl d
from the loss of Wood. Later she was
curried to her room. Policeman t\ J.
PhMK|?s alppeared' ?? n the scene just as
Magg.e Turpin was albout 11. m ik,- h. r
eicaipe. He arrested her and took her
to the lock-up.
Owing to the precarious condition of
Grade Ann Tyler the cuse did not
come up before Juseice .1. E. Ford yes?
terday morning.
Both of -the women or.- of hid re
pule. '.Maggie Turpin is a well known
character in police circles. She came
here several yen p. ago from Ttichmond,
after serving a term in tin- |>enitentiary
for s-tu'lvbing a woman. She has figure 1
in the courts on several occasions. The
lust 'time she was arrested she was
charged with stealing money off th.
person of a negro. For the offense Jus?
tice Ford gave her three monthi? in
prison, hut the keeper of the lock-up .al?
lowed the negress to go out nt w ill, and
while serving her term she figun d
brawls in saloons.
Maggie Turpin will lie held to aw
developments. If Grade 'Ann Tyler .1 es
as the result or the wounds the negress
will be charged with murder.
