FRANK GUY was killed by Robert H. Spain, his brother-in-law, in front of Williams’ grocery, two miles and a half from the city on the Lebanon Pike, at half past six o’clock last evening. It is said to be the sequel of a family feud of long standing between Spain and Frank, James and John Guy, in consequence of some disagreement had between Spain and his wife who is the sister to the Guy brothers. As soon as Spain had shot Frank Guy, accompanied by William Foucett who is charged with being accessory to the murder, he started eastward along the Lebanon Pike but the two were overtaken and arrested by Officers Bolton and Dale and brought to the city police station. They were then arraigned before Justice Kerrigan and both committed in default of bond. Frank Guy died within ten minutes after he was shot. The wound was over the left nipple and inflicted by a charge of squirrel shot discharged from a shot gun.
While at the police station last night, Spain made the following statement relative to the affair to the reporter of the Banner. “I have been told that on Thursday night, the Guys were on the road watching for me to come along. Some time previous to the shooting yesterday afternoon, myself and William Faucett were stopping at a public pump on our way home when one of Guy’s brothers came along and manifested a disposition to pick a quarrel. I told him he had better go on and attend to his own business. He was on a horse and said he wold shove on and get to the camp and get my gun and show me. We had a melon patch on the Lewis place and camped out in order to keep a close watch upon it to prevent our melons from being stolen. I got there before he did and got my gun in my hand when he jumped off his horse and ran off through the lot. After that I went over to Baxter Williams’ grocery and was paying Baxter Williams a debt that I owed him, contracted this week. I was standing in the grocery with my gun leaning against the counter when Frank Guy came up and said he intended to kill me and I aimed to shoot him but the gun didn’t fire. The second time I tried and fired the gun and shot him and then gave myself up to John Appleby, a citizen who afterward gave me in charge of Officer Dale who brought me here. I didn’t know where I had shot Guy or that he had died until subsequently informed. The feud between the Guys and myself originated from their interference in my domestic affairs.”
William Faucett is said to have urged Spain to shoot Guy. While at the police station, Faucett said that he was innocent of the charge and that he had rather go to jail than have people coming and staring at him as though he were a murderer. He complained of being very sleepy and expressed the desire that he might be taken to jail that he might have his rest. Spain was calm but answered all questions put to him without reserve. An inquest was held over the remains of Guy and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above recited facts.

MARTHA ANN GIBSON, who resided at a house on Coon Alley between North College and North Cherry streets, was found dead at an early hour yesterday morning. It is said that on the night previous, she had quarreled with her lover and, in his presence, tied a short rope to the balustrades and then retired. After her paramour had gone, she deliberately tied the rope about her neck and swung off into eternity. It was asserted that he had greatly abused and mistreated her and that this was the cause of the suicide. But an investigation, instituted by Coroner Everett, revealed the fact that it was not the case. The story is current that before the death of her paramour’s wife, he had promised, in such event, to marry her and that he had proved unfaithful to his promise. The deceased was a young and rather handsome woman of about thirty years of age and a native of this city. Coroner Everett held an inquest over the remains and the jury rendered a verdict that she came to her death by her own hand.
