Norfolk, Va., Sept 26. R. D. Doug

grandson of Stephen A. Douglas, was
the principal speaker at today's joint

fired, for there were powder marks on
his hand, his clothing was burned, the

a strip of moulding had been pulled
loose from the side of one of the
counters, while articles packed In the
central part of , the store were scat
tered about' the 4foor near the body
of the dead man.
Sui prised by Intruder.
That Mr. Taylor had been surprised
during the night by some intruder
semcd evident, forn his hurry from
his bedroom, which adjoins the store,
he overturned a chair, scattered some
articles about the room "and rushed
out lr his underclothes and top shirt,
clad in which was his body when dis
covered. It would seem, too, that he
met his death from his own pistol, al
though this Is not positively known.
The pistol, which was of .38 caliber,
cannot be found, and he always kept
it by him in his bedroom. Presumably
the slayer snatched this gun from Mr.
Taylor's hand and, after firing the two
shots, took the gun away with him.
Burglar or Enemy?
The main theory as to the cause of
his being aroused and of his subse
quent death Is that a burglAr had
broken Into the store through the rear
door, which was standing open with
the wooden button lying on the floor
' and the lock torn loose, and that the
' burglar, surprised by the lights and
the nppeurance of tho proprietor,
