A mys- compos- of a bancii of hopeless tan^'les, is; ;joming mare elusive of solution i it is investi?ated, attends the i.ath of J, H. Taylor, the West Is e street gfoceryman, whose 1 \y with two bullet holes in it ci found stretched cold on the /':^,or of lii3 store yesterday ; rning. The circumstances o so strangle and confusing that ? coroner'' jury, after sitting t,. ihe casf‘ ai! da\, submitted a i ’diet that doath was due to bi'ilet wound'-’ fired by an un- k?^own band or hands, then be- r dismissed. There were no eye witness so as is known and there is no iv^ -’tain in formation as to the Bine Mr, Tayior was killed Wed- f' 3day night, although from j>it^cemeal reports it is believed e death occured during’ the dnight hour, or sometime be- ^^ -een 10 o’clock and midnight. iications in the store yesterday in irning 8ho\yed there had been ;» :ierce struggle and that the iszle of the pistol was close to body of the dead man when of tiie shots was fired, for S/' ere were powder marks on his li' -Bd, his clothing was burned, #^ right sleeve of his shirt was pitn, and a strip of moulding had pulled' loose from the side one 0^ the counters, while ar- t’’'les.-|®ckedL in the jStore were skittered about the store near i:r.e.lMy of the de?d man. rni]ist Mr. Tavlarhad been sur- I-ised during the night by some i '.ruder seamed evident, for in I s hurrv from his bed room t lich ad joins the store he over- i ' -rnerf a chair, scattered some 5 tides about the room and rush- :i ' out in his underclothes s d topshirt, clad in which was ? 5 body when discovered. it >uid seem too, that he met his f ith from his own pistol, al- )ugh thi.'^ is not positively' . own. Tht^ pistol which was calibre, cannot bef9und, and alwayfi kept it by him in his , d rooirt. Presumably the i .yer snatched this gun from '■ ^ Taylors hand and after fir- ? the. ^ wo shots, took the gun ay wi'.h Isim. The theory as to his ing v^yuused- and of his sub- quent dwith is that a burglar d Ijroker: into t he store through e rear coor, vvhich was stand- r o)\/i! ye.^terday morning ,tb the- v-ortden button lying ! tbv- f!c;cr :\r;d tlie lock torn ose, fi'-d Uat the burglar, sur- rised tv the tiglits and the ap pearance of the proprietor, crou ched on the floor and grabbed him, upon which the struggle ensued. Another theory is that some enemy of Mr. Taylor's al though it is not known that he had-any, could have entered the store and slaved his man, al though ih ire are few fact^ or cir- c uni stances to show tnis, while no one kuows of any cause that anybody in the world would have for killing Mr. Taylor. His death was first discovered between 5:30 and 6 o’clock by Robert King who passed by_ the store to get a package of cigar ettes while on his way to work. Trying the front door he was unable to make an entry., and noticing the side door was open he went around there and walk ed in. He was dumfounded to find the body of the proprietor stretched before him between the two counters at the rear of store, rushed out and gave the alarm. He first informed Policeman J. M. Pugh, who had just gone off night duty and was at his home nearby, 1009 West Lee street, Mr. Pugh telephoned to the pol ice station,' and Chief Isley, Sheriff Stafford and Coroner Wood were soon on the scene The store was still in the eondi' tion, supposedly, in which it was left after the muderer made his escape. The body was cold and stiff. The feet were toward the ad joining bed room where Mr. Tay lor slept while the head was to ward the front door, the body lyin" on its left side, The bleed ing had been mostly internally, as there was but little blood on the floor. The inquest by the coroner was secret, none being present except the jury and the witness es, whose names the coroner witheld pending further develop ments, The members of the jury were: G. F. Paschal, C. C. Buchanan, J, C. Ferguson, Wil liam Earl, J. R. Pitts, and J. W, Snow. The verdict delivered about 5 o'clock was that the jury was not able to locate guilty party. ‘ ‘Party came to his death by a gun shot fired in the body by some person or persons whose indentity we have been unable to discover.'’ Mr. Taylor was 50 years cf age. BeantiCn! Milliaery Ofrenings; The various milliijefy openi®g: last Friday and Siaturday were very beautiful aand elaborate. Not only did the I's^ies of B^rl- ingrton come out in great num bers to see the pfcturesqu© head wear, but Graham, Elon College, Haw River and" Mebane were re presented by many of the fiair ones who thronged the streets with buggies, automobiles' and many came on the train* AH the’ openings were elaborate and we muat confess we have puzzled to try to decide whleh of the hats are the prettiest, but have been unsuccessful in rend ering a decision. 4eroolane Went Wrong. North Wilkesboro, Sept. 23.-- —An ovation of Paris, Eugene Sodet, drove his machine a Curtis type, through two fence=*. over or through^a number of buggies and against the stalls before it could be stopped today. It was his first attempt at the fair grounds. Strange to say, he es- cg.ped with only a few bruises, but his machine wasdamsged to the amount of $300 or $400. His f!i,i>:ht w.-is a suec'^s'?. but he hed been in four accidents, one oi' them at Fayetteville. of the Ownership and Management, of The State Dispakh PttbUshed V/eekly at Burlingtan, Reqiired*by the Act of August 24, 1912.
