WHY SHE DID IT
Mrs. Hayes Says She Had to Shoot Floyd
io Defence of Her Honor.
SHOT HIM NINE TIMES
At Coroner's Investigation, Slayer
of Young Medical Student Testifies
That She Shot to Defend Her Honor,
as Floyd Had Laid Hands Cpon
Her to Assault Her.
Facts brought out at (he inquest
over (he body of Robert H. Floyd,
which was hold at Tabor, X. 0., Monday,
make the story of the killing
even more sensational than at fiist
reported. Mrs. Hayes was the only
witness at the inquest and coolly,
calmly and deliberately she told her
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 fallen through her bodroom
door on the floor of the hall.
Mrs. Hayes got up, went back into
the room, got another pistol and
shot him twice more.
The reason assigned by the woma
11 for tier act is that Floyd made
an improper proposal to lior 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 the
jail at Whiteville, the county seat of
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 Floyd's
pocket from Mrs. Hayes, written to
him in Charleston, 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 011 her face. Floyd, who had
some local reputation as a "cancer
doctor," it is stated, had successfully
treated moles for Mr, Hayes and for
this reason both he and his wife were
desirous that he should treat those
of Mrs. Hayes.
The letter was of the friendliest
nature and Floyd was urged to come
as soon as possible and assured that
*-><? ovnouses would bo borne and that
'he would be paid for his trouble. He
rand Mrs. Ilayee had been sweethearts
previous to her marriage to Hayes,
and the two men bad been rivals for
her hand at the same time.
<Floyd, with this letter, came to
Tabor and first called upon Mr.
Hayes at his place of business down
town, showed him the letter and told
him he was at his service. Hayes,
who was often detained down town
late in connection with his store and
barber shop, told the young man to
go on ui) to the house and insisted
""" at he take supper and spend the
lit.
"rom this point nothing is known
pt what is learned from Mrs.
V account of the killing. After
.i.ering the home Floyd was ki'led
before even removing his hat or overcoat.
Mrs. Haves testified before the |
coroner's jury that Floyd came to
the door of her home, which was
locked; that she opened it: that they
spoke and he made inquiry about her
moles, which he had come to treat;
he then made an insulting proposal
to her, which she resented, and that
he then laid violent hau ls on her.
That Mrs. Hayes acted coolly and
deliberately and fully intended to
kill Floy1 is borne out by further
statement in her testimony: "We
tussellcd toward the bead of the bed,
when I ran my bands under the pillow,
got an automatic revolver, and
holding it close to bis breast 1 shot
him seven times. 1 was running
backward toward the door and he
lolding me. We fell out the door
.ogetlier, when 1 went back and got
mother pistol and shot him twice
nore."
The nine shots took effect, puncturing
his body from the waist line
to the forehead.

gentIonian when he had been to our
house several times before," was tne
estimate put on the deceased by his
slayer. Mrs. Hayes was the only
person put on the stand and she related
her story calmly and distinctly,
Her husband, standing nearby, evidenced
not the least concern.

LOSES HIS OFFICE
PROTECTING VICE CAUSES MAYOR'S
DOWNFALL.
Mayor Gill of Seattle Accused of
Having A U owed Immoral Conditions
and is Recalled.
Hiram C. Gill, elected mayor of
Seattle, a year a-'o, was ousted from
oiliee by the voters participating in
i he recall election Wednesday, and
George \v. Hilling, Public Welfare
League candidate, was chosen by a
plurality of (>,0 00 votes to serve as
mayor during the remainder of the
term for which Mayor Gill had been
elected.
When Mayor Gill was elected a
year ago he received 18,000 votes
out of 36,000 cast. Eight months
after he was elected the women of
;he State of Washington were enfranchised
and to this fact is due
the decisive victory won by the recall
advocates in Wednesday's elec- '
tlon.
Of the 71,000 votes registered,
22.000 were women and a large majority
of them, it is admitted, voted ,
for the recall of Mayor Gill. The
votin'g was heavy in all parts of the
city, hut 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,not), and lirown
CSocialist), 4,r>00. Gill was charged
with protecting immorality. Dilling
nill take office on Saturday.
Mayor Gill's troubles began the
moment ho announced he would appoint
Charles Wappenstein as chief
of police. Wappenstein was formerly
chief of detectives in Cincinnati.
He 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
the mayor to remove Wappenstein,
and Wappenstein later sought to resign.
As soon as it was announced last
November that the women suffrage
amendment had been adopted, the
movement to recall Mayor Gill took
active form under a provision of the
city charter, an rue women entered
vigorously into the campaign. Women
stood in line with the men at
the polls, and were as quick to grasp
the voting instructions as their experienced
men folk.
SPOILED COKN SEIZED.
Damaged Grain Hoportod From Several
Sections.
Shipments of spoiled corn to South
Carolina have been held up by the
feedstuffs department of the State
partnient of agriculture. The department
was Wednesday notified by
consignees in several section of the
State that carload lots of corn in a
damaged condition had been received.
Commissioner Watson, upon
the receipt of the messages, rushed
inspectors of the department to
make an investigation.
"The law will be vigorously enforced,"
said the commissioner, "and
it is very probable that several of
the cars of corn will have to be destroyed."
Samples of the corn sent
to the department showed it t.o be in
a decayed condition. The corn is being
shipped here from without the
State. The spoiled corn problem has
afforded a great deal of annoyance
to the department.
The department has had careful
botanical and other analysis mad'4
and has succeeded in identifying the
fungo formed in the heart of the
ln-aied damaged corn, and has established
?a good many other points
which enable the men with the department
to identify the corn that is
dangerous to men and animals. The
commissioner will not permit the
corn to be shipped out of the State.
Ten samples are drawn from each
ear.

lit was ascertained definitely tliat the
! preliminary hearing in this case will
i be held 011 Tuesday, t he 14th. at
Whiteville. This date has been
agreed 011 by all parties interested.
Magistrate W. C. Graham of Tabor
has been designated to sit. in the
case and this mornin: lie was busV
binding oyer witnesses. I'p until
noon Thursday 22 witnesses had 1
been bound over by the State, and,
judging by the activity of the rela-,
fives of the slain man, still more
witnesses may be summoned.
All of these witnesses live in and
around Tabor, and they have been I
summoned, it is learned, in an at
tempt, to prove a motive for fhe killing
other than the statements made
by Mrs. Hayes and to implicate 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 bis life.
One with no knowledge of the kill-'
ing would be impressed on arriving
at Tabor with the idea that some
great calamity had befallen this quiet
but busy little town. Notwithstanding
the fact that it has been five
days since the occurrence and the
subsequent removal of the prisoners ,
to Whiteville, Tabor is yet all astir '
over the occurrence. |
Groups are gathered here and
there, discussing the tragedy, each
| comparing rumors and 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 200 yards from the main

dwellings, one being a hotel which
on the nia;ht of the killing was well
filled with guests. Haves' barber
shop is only about 100 yards from
his home. One standing at the front 1
of the shop has an unobstructed
j view of the Hayes home,
j The house is a four room dwellJ
ing, a hall running between the two
| rooms on each side. The hall opens
by a door on the front porch, which
door Mrs. Hayes in her testimony
stated was locked.
The door to her bed room, which
she states that Floyd entered, is several
feet down the hall to the rigiit.
Floyd's hat was hung on a rack on j
the left wall of the hall beyond the i
bed room door.
The bed to which Mrs. Hayes |
states Floyd forced her stands in the
extreme right hand corner of the
room, hut to the left of the 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 out 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 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, indicating that it came
from the direction of the hall door
| to the bed room.
Another bullet had plowed through
the top of the floor at such a slant
as to pass out through the window

she cannot ?ive her affection to the
one without exciting the resentment
or displeasure of the other.

Fight on the Pill.
When the school bill came up
Wednesday morning, under the head
of "debate interrupted," consideration
of the committee amendments
was resumed. -Mr. Mower's amendment
offered the night before was
adopted. This provided that the section
in the bill with reference to the
manner of appointing the State hoard
of 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
he given to high schools in towns
of more than P,r??>0 population. The
committee had suggested "more than

Mr. Mower sought to have adopted
an amendment that tlio county
boards of education consist of five
members to bo elected by the p? ople.
This was tabled on motion of An.
Sawyer. The proposition then recurred
to the committee amendment
that the county boards be appointed
en the recommendation of the legislative
delegation.
At this point the house, which had
been growing more and more restless
under the adopting of amendments
showed more and more a disposition
a ainst the whole mattei.
Mr. Williams of Aiken, who ban
"preached the funeral of 1 ley ward

to this bill which later manifested
itself.
Mr. Wingard opposed the appointing
of the county boards upon the

above, was 62 to 4 2, and the matter
was finally disposed of for this session
in that way for it would be useless
