One of tho most shocking trage
dies we hi vo had to record for many
months occurred last night at Gin
einnati. II. W. Gott, of Priucetin.
shot and <..•• miy kUrc. Dr. law
Danzigcr, a | rominent young Gc -
man physician or that city, who was
waiting on the niece of Gott. Tlr*
i cause of the tragedy is shrouded in
j mystery, as the only witness to the
shooting was Miss Annie Bell Spang
ler. a niece or Gott. who Is reported
to he In a dying condition. The
physirnn had lioon waiting on Miss
Spangler for several days and she
did not improve tinder his treat
ment. Gott. It Is said, tried to get
another physician to take the ease,
but he declined, and It is thought
that a quarrel resulted on the occa
sion of the physiciun's visit over
this action on tlie part of Gott. Mrs.
Gott was not In the room, lint she
hoard loud and angry words be
tween tlie men, followed by a shot.
Gott was immediately taken into
custody, but was tinable to give a
coherent account of what had hap
pened and it w thought he was men
tally unbalanced when he did the
deed.
Mr. and Mrs. (lott and their chil
dren and niece had gone to Cincin
nati about three weeks ago. Mr.
CJott is a non of Capt. Andrew C.ott,
a prominent farmer living two miles
west of Princeton, Tils mot tier was
a Stafford, of the dies county fami
ly of that name, and both of them
a-re known and highly respected In
their community. In fact, the fam
ily is one of th» most substantial
and respected in this section. Mr.
Colt married Miss Alice Carr, the
youngest daughter or 'Squire John
T. Carr, the pioneer justice of the
|K*ace of Hlucficld, and a sister of
Mrs. "Robert Spangler, of Ingleslde,
who left her infant daughter at her
death Several years ago to the care
of her mother. At the death of
Mrs. Carr the daughter was left to
the care of Mr. and Mrs. Oott, with
whom she h ts since made her home.
She is now about seventeen y-'ors
of age. The Associated Press dis
patch says that Colt tried to com
mit suicide in the Jail and had to
be remov »d to a padded cell.
Oott was sometimes addicted to
drink, but lias always borne an ex
cellent reputation in other respects,
.end his friends will be loth to bc
iieve him guilty of wilful murder
He was quick tempered and ready
to resent an Insult, but was not of
a quarrelsome disposition. The out
come of his examination will ha
awaited with much interest.

There are no new developments
In the case or Walter Rlppey, the
negro fiend who wan yesterday*
landed behind the bars at Tazewell.
It is now believed that the luw will
he allowed to take itm court*, which
will no doubt be a Npeedy death on
the gallows. Court will convene nt
Tazewell Monday, when It is expect
ed that the grand jury will return

why an Immediate trial cannot he

confront the negro with his victim,
lu* having made n rull confession
to Chlof-of-Poiice Mays and others.
A speedy trial and Juat punishment
will have much to do with prevent
ing mob violence In the future.
There would undoubtedly hnvo
been a lynching In thta ca«e If tho
angry citizens had had a determined
leaner, uui tine cool demeanor of the
officers who hod the prisoner In
charge and their determination to
land him safely |n Jail, prevented
action an tho part of the moh. The
excitement at Pocahontas was In
tense when it became known that
ihe iirhoner had confessed his guilt
and it was certain tfhat they had
the right man, and as the horrible
details of the crime became known
strong men were frenzied with un
it r and indignation that such a
crime could happen in a civilized
community. A mob whh quickly
formed and wxiuld no doubt have
male short work of the prisoner
tint for the strategy of the officers,
who were expected by tho mob In
bring their prisoner out on the reg
ular train, hut got n special engine
and baggage car Instead. The es
cort made a rush for the special
while Ituxh Slater held the moh at.
bay for a few minutes with two
lioitlt liy looking guns. Reaching
the special, they brought their prls
•ber into Minefield, and rearing an
ai tempt to intercept them at Gra
ham. they ran a special* from Blue
Meld lo I azowell. The prisoner was
accompanied from Biuefleld l»y
f'lilei Mays. Sergeant Pemberton,
Rush Slater, Dr. I, stump, Abe

Chief Newkirk, Officer Reynolds
and .1. A. Muir or tho Daily leader,
f.eaveing here at 1:50, with F,n
gllieer Rob Shelton at the throttle,
they landed Ihelr prisoner at North
Tazewell in j minutes, Th re was
i fair crowd lined up at Grnhum,
but the 8poci„t went through at a
lively clip and only stopped at Tip
Top to permit No. 12 to pass.
Then* being nobody to meet the
party at Tazewell, except a small
crowd of some 80 persons, the pris
oner was conducted fo the Jail and
[turned over ;o Sheriff H. S. F. ||.n
man, where a fair sized crowd had
collected who, however, made no
demonst rat lox,
It has since transpired that tho
prisoner, W'alfer Ripp*y.( was tie

an Italian woman some two weeks
