WHY SARAH SCOTT WAS KILLED.
\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

BALTIMORE, Jan. 31.\u2014Thomas M. Gray fatally shot Sarah L. Scott last night. Mary Gray, in giving her version of the tragedy says: “Sarah came home carrying a basket of coal, and Gray asked her where she got it. She refused to tell him and he remarked: ‘I’ll shoot you if you don’t.’ She still refused, and he pulled a pistol from his pocket, and three times snapped it in her face. The fourth time he pulled the trigger the hammer struck a loaded chamber in the cylinder and the woman fell dead at his feet.” All are colored people.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
