WHY SHE DID IT
Mrs. Hayes Says Sh* Hid te Shoot Floyc

At Coroner's Investigation, Slayei
of Yoiinft Medical Student Testifies
That She Shot to Defend Her Honor,

Fact8 brought out at the inquest
over the body of Robert H. Floyd
which was held at Tabor, N. C., Monday.
make the story of the killing
even more sensational than at first
reported. Mrs. Hayes was the only
witness at the inquest and coolly,
calmly and deliberately she told hei
story, without a tremor and apparently
without being moved.
Nine times she shot him, according
to her account -seven times
while in a struggle, emptying a Colt's
automatic revolver. After she and
Floyd had fa'len through her bedroom
door on the floor of the hall.
Mrs. Hayes got tip, went back into
the room, got another pistol and
shot him twice more.
The reason assigned liy the woman
for her act is that Floyd made
an improper proposal to her and
upon her resenting it laid hands on
her and tried to overcome her by violence.
It was learned from Tabor late
Monday afternoon that N. M. Hayes,
the husband, and his brother, Lloyd
Hayes have both been arrested and
taken along with Mrs. Hayes to tin
jail at Whlteville, the county seat ol
Columbus county. There was no intimation
given as to what connection
Lloyd Hayes had with the tragedy or
why he had been arrested.
A letter was found in Flovd's
pocket from Mrs. Hayes, written to
(him in CI, .rioston, in which he was
asked to come to Tabor as soon as
he could conveniently do so and
treat some moles which Mrs. Hayes
had on licr face. Floy!, who had
come local reputation as a "cancel
doctor." it is stated, had successfully
treated moles for Mr. Hayes and foi
this reason both he and his wife were
desirous that he should treat those
of Mrs. Hayes.
The letter was of the friendliest
nat> "o and Flavd was urged to conic
as s >on as possible and assured that
his ? xjienses would be borne and that
he would be paid for his trouble. He
and Mrs. Hayes had been sweethearts
previoi - to her marriage to Hayes,
nnd the two men bad been rivals for
her hard at the same time.
Floyd, with this letter, came tc
Talior and first called upon Mr,
Have at his place of business down
town, showed him the letter and told
him lie was at his service. Hayes
who v.s often detained down town
late in connection with his store and
barber sl op, told the young man tc
go on up to the house and insisted
that lie trkc supper and spend tlit
light.
From this point nothing vis knowr
ixcopt what is learned from M,-s
lyes' account of the killing. Aftei
?nt ring the home Floyd was ki'lec
before even removing his hat or o.er
CCKiT.
Mrs. Hayes testified before lh<
coroner's jury that Floyd came t<
the door of her home, which wai
locked; that she opened it; that the;
spoke and he rn.tde inquiry about he
moles, which he had come to treat
he then made an insulting pronosa
to her. which she resented, and tha
he then laid violent hands on her.
That .Mrs. Hayes acted coolly am
deliberately and fully intended li
kill Floy 1 is borne out by furthe
statement in her testimony: "W

Mayor Gill of Seattle Accused of
Having Allowed Immoral Condi
(ions and is Recalled.
V * *
Hiram C. Gill, elected mayor of
Seattle, a year aso, was crusted from
' olRce by the voters participating In
tho recall election Wednesday, and
( George W. Dilling, Public Welfare
League candidate, was chosen by a
plurality of 6.000 votes to serve as
. nayor during the remainder of the
, term for which Mayor Gill had been j
elected. ,
; 'When Mayor Gill was elected a (
.Oar ago he received IS,000 vot s ,
out of 36.000 cast. Eight months;
lfter he was elected the women of
1 he State of Washington were en'
franchlsed and to this fact is due
the decisive victory won by the re- 1
Mil advocates in Wednesday's elec- ;
1 ion.
Of the 71,000 votes registered,
' 12,000 were women and a large ma- '
' lority of them, it is admitted, voted
1 for the recall of Mayor Gill. The 1
vot in? was heavy in all parts of the
city, but the most notable increases
' were in the residence sections. The '
total was more than 60,000.
Mayor-elect Hilling received 31,000:
Mayor Gill 25,000, and Grown 1
(Socialist), 4.500. Gill was charged !
with protecting immorality. Dilling '
1 will fake office on Saturday.
Mayor Gill's troubles began the '
moment he announced he would ap- '
point Charles Wappenstein as chief
1 of police. Wappenstein was formerly
chief of detectives in Cincinnati,
lie was involved In the scandal that
^ led to the shooting of former Chief
of Police 'Meredith in a street duel
in the city. Pressure was brought on
1 the mayor to remove Wappenstein,
nnd Wappenstein later sought to resign.
' As soon as it was announced last
1 November that tho women suffrage
amendment nad neen adopted, the
! movement to recall Mayor Hill too*
1 active form under a provision of the
' city charter, and the women entered
1 vigorously into the campaign. Women
stood in lino with the men at
the noils, and were as quick to grasp
the voting instructions as their ex!
perienced men folk.

Many Witnesses Summoned in Attempts
to Prove Plot in Killing.
HAYES HO ilE SEARCHED
r<>urse of Hullcts Traced in Effort to
KstAhlisli Direction Front Which
They Were Fireil?Many Fact*
Connected With the Sad Tragedy
Tliat Ended Floyd'* Life.
The Conway correspondent of The
State says as a result of a trip he
made to Tabor. Js. C., the scene of
the killing of Robert M. Floyd on'
Saturday last by Mrs. ltosa Hayes, j
It was ascertained definitely that the1
preliminary hearing in this case will j
be held on Tuesday, the 14th. at
Whiteville. This date has been <
agreed on by all p-srties interested.
Magistrate W. C Craha 111 of Tabor
has been designated to sit in the
case and this mornin? he was busy
binding over witnesses. I'p until
noon Thursday 22 witnesses had j
been bound over by the State, and.
judging by the activity of the relatives
of the slain man. still more,
witnesses may lie summoned.
All of these witnesses live in and
around Tabor, and tliey have been ,
summoned, it is learned, in an attempt
to prove a motive for the kill- i
ing other than the statements made
by Mrs. Hayes and to im,<ficate in
the horrible affair others whom Mr.
Floyd's relatives and friends claim
were parties to a plot to get him to
Tabor and take his life.
une wttn no knowledge of the killing
would be impressed on arriving
at Tabor with the idea that some
great calaifiity had befallen this quiet
but busy little town. Notwithstanding
the fact that it has been live
days since the occurrence and the
subsequent removal of the prisoners
to Whitevllle, Tabor is yet all astir
over ?lie occurrence.
CI roups are gathered here nnd
there, discussing the tragedy, each
comparing rumors nnd theories with
the other in an effort to solve the
mystery surrounding the tragic death
of young Floyd.
The Hayes home is situated only :
a few feet back from the sidewalk
of a broad open side street and only
about 2 00 yards from the main
street of the town. Within 4 0 feet
of the house on eithr-r side are other
dwellings, one being a hotel which
on the night of the killing was well
filled with guests. Hayes' barber
shop is only about 100 yards from
his home. One standing at the front
of the shop has an unobstructed
view of the Hayes home.
The house is a four room dwelling,
a hall running between the two
rooms on each side. The hall opens
by a door on the front porch, which i
door Mrs. Hayes in her testimony
stated was locked.
The door to her bed room, which
she states that Floyd entered, is sev- |
oral reel down the hall to the right, j
Floyd's hat was hung on a rack on
the left wall of the hall beyond the
bed room door.
The bed to which Mrs. Hayes
states Floyd forced her stands in the
extreme right hand corner of the
room, but to the left of tho bed
room door.
Mrs. Hayes* retreat backwards followed
by Floyd, as she states in her
testimony, carried her the width of
a room through a door into the hall,
the length of this hall, through the
front door and across about ten feet
of porch, Floyd having been found
at the extreme front of the porch
with one foot ont on the top step.
Those who saw Mr. Floyd before
he was moved state that his form
lay in such a position that anyone
returning to the hall would be
forced to go over his prostrate form.
Mrs. Hayes' statement is that she
fell out of the door ahead of Mr.
Floyd and that she afterward returned
to the house and secured another
pistol and shot him again in
the head.
A thorough search was made of
the lied room of the Hayes home is
which the shooting is stated to have
occurred.
| The carpet was removed from the
floor and two bullets were accounted
for. One, a lead bullet, was found
lodged in a sill under the floor, the
course of the bullet being a downward
slant, lndleatlns that it came
from the direction of the ball door
to the bed room.
Another bullet had plowed through
the top of tho floor at such a slant
as to pass out through the window
sash several feet from the floor. This
bullet could not be found, hut was
evidently fired from tho same place
as the other.
Mayes bought a nnmboit of steel
bullets from a local hardware dealei

time that be wanted bis wife to practice
with bis new automatic. Nexl

then seen Mr. and Mrs. Hayes tnirel

OUR GREATEST EVIL
"MVORCE MILL A SOCIAL
SCOURGE" OP THE TIMES.
More IlliRlitinx Upon Family Life of
(he Nation Than Moriuonisni, Says
Cardinal Gibbons.
"There is a social scourge more ^
blighting and more destructive of
family life than Mormonism. It Is
the fearfully Increasing number of
livorce mills throughout the United
Stages. These mills, like the mills of
the gods are slowly, but surely grinding
to powder the domestic altars of
the nation." This is what Cardinal j
Gibbons said Sunday in a sermon at \
Haltimore. The Cardinal went on ,
to say: j
"Husband and wife are separated i
on the most flimsy pretext. And as ; i
if the different States of the Union It
were not sufliciently accommodating 1 \
in this respect, one State has the nil- t
enviable distinction of granting ujt
hill of divo-ce for the mere asking < 1
of it, on the sole condition of a brief s
so;ourn within her bor.iers. |\
"1 can conceive no scene more j \
pathetic nor one that appeals more j 1
touchingly to our sympathies than
the contemplation of a child emerg-1 I
ing into the years of discretion see- ' 1
ing her father and mother estranged i C
from each other. Her little heart ; I
is learning to love. She longs to cm- I (
brace both parents, but she finds that I
she cannot give her affection to the 1
one without exciting the resentment 11
or displeasure of the other. p
"A lady prominent In social life !
once said to me in Newport "1 do i
not recognize any law. human or ell- 1
vine that can deprive a husband or ?
wife of the right to separate and to (
enter fresh espousals when they do ' >
not live in harmony together.' J i
" 'You speak.' I replied, 'of your f
rights: your privileges. Itut you I
have not a word to say for your du- t
ties and obligations.' j 1
"Ah! my brethren, if men am! wo- 1
men had due consideration for their i ]
duties and responsibilities tlieir'l
rights would take care of themselves. ;:
There can be no rights whore there 11
are no corresponding obligations. !
There are no rights against the law (
of God. i
"If Christianity is the highest type r
of civilization?and who can deny 1
it??then is it not true that we are
retrograding instead of advancing on i
certain lines? We glory in our sys- (
tern of universal education, in our ]
enormous wealth and in our terri- ;
torial expansion. Put these advan- '
tapes are not evidences of Chrfstian
progress.
"Two thousand years azo pagan
Rome had all these temporal advan- i
tapes. The wealth of the nations j(
poured into her lap. Her empire ex- j'
tended over three continents. She j
far excelled us in the arts, in ora-i1
tory, poetry, philosophy and litera-j'
ture, and in all the refinements of,1
cultivated society. Her paintings and j1
sculpture, her literary productions, '
are still our models. And yet, while ;
she was in the zenith of her material
and intellectual splendor she was in '
a state of moral and political decay, 1
in fact, she was lapsing into barba
rism.
"The most striking feature of
Christ's empire is its perpetual endurance.
Two thousand years ago
tie was laid in the tomb, and yet lie 1
exerts today the paramount Influence 1
on the social and political as well as
on the moral and religious world;
such as was never wielded by any
earthly sovereign. Other rulers pass
in review before us and are gone. But
Christ remains forever."
Children Cremated.
Two children were cremated, the
mother seriously burned and three |
other children who were dropped
from a second story window were
slightly hurt Wednesday when fire
destroyed the home of Peter Eckland
in South New Castle, Pa. Mrs.
Eckland sustained burns about the
body and was injured when she
leaped from the window and went
back for the other two. Cut off
from their room by the flames, the
mother was forced to leap to save
her own life.

Fight on the Bill.
When the school bill came up
Wednesday morning, under the head
if "debate interrupted," consideration
of the committee amendments
was resumed. Mr. Mower's amendment
offered the night before was
idopted. This provided that the section
in the bill with reference to the
manner of appointing the State board
if education be struck out and the
following substituted: "The State
hoard of education shall consist of
the governor, the State superintendent
of education and one member
from each congressional district to
be appointed by the governor."
The house adopted Mr. Drummond's
amendment that no aid shall
be siven to high schools in tov.ns
of more than 2.500 population. The
committee had suggested "more than
1,000 population."

This was tabled on motion of Mi.

to the committee amendment
that the county boards be appointed
on the recommendation of the legislative
delegation.
At this point the house, which had
been growing more and more restless

showed more and more a disposition
against the whole mattei.
