| 3727 | from "The Albany (TX) News, 23 Mar 1900" We clip the following items from the Seymour news and Baylor Co. Banner, regarding Rev. W. D. Robinson's trouble. Mr. R. has many warm friends in Albany and vicinity who are in deep sympathy [with] him and family, and hope that the trouble is not so serious as the clippings may indicate. Killing of Captain Jones Bandera, Texas, March 3. The remains of Captain W.E. Jones, who was killed by Rev. Robinson, late chaplain of the Fourth Texas, we're brought here today. Jones had been shot five times with buckshot. His own gun was found at the bottom of the buggy. There was one chamber empty, but the weapon had not been recently exploded. Robinson was committed to jail and will have his examining trial tomorrow. The trouble between the two men was of long standing. - Seymour News. Rev. W.D. Robinson Kills a Man Rev. W. D. Robinson, who was pastor of the M. E. Church at this place for the year 1897 and who was sent here for the year 1898, but resigned when he was appointed Chaplain of the 4th Texas regiment in the spring of that year, killed Capt. W. E. Jones near Medina, Bandera county, Texas, about the 1st of this month. The news appends below all the information and anent the particulars we have been able so far to get and gives it to its readers just as it was for what it is worth. Mrs. Jones, wife of the murdered man, is an old friend of Mrs. Davenport of this place, there for the letter which follows: Medina, Texas, Mar. 4, 1900. Mrs. Maggie Davenport, Seymour, Texas. Although I am in utter stranger to you, but your friend, Mrs. Jones requested me to write you about the sad news, the death of her husband Capt. W. E. Jones, he was shot while coming from Medina, our post-office, seven miles from the ranch, he was coming home was nearly here, he was killed by Rev. W. D. Robinson and everyone most thinks he was waylaid and killed. We are very much surprised. No one knew there was much enmity, the only thing we knew was the Capt. didn't approve of his way of doing and said so publicly and thought he had heard it and thought he would get rid of him so he couldn't expose him. Of course he is telling different things now. He is out on $4,000 bond. It is a very sad affair. I have been boarding here with them for 6 months. Write to her at once. Respectfully, Mrs. Shim. Rev. W. D. Robinson in Trouble A killing occurred at Medina, Texas, about the 1st of March that involved a gentleman and former pastor of Seymour, is one of the principles in the tragedy. The murdered man was Capt. W. E. Jones of Medina, and he was killed by Rev. W. D. Robinson, who will be remembered as the pastor of the Methodist church in ‘97 and ‘98. It is alleged that Jones had circulated scandalous reports concerning the family of Robinson. This caused bad blood to exist and it's so affected Robinson that he shot Jones, killing him instantly. He then surrendered to the officers and inform them where they would find the body of Jones. On reaching the place designated by Robinson the sheriff discovered the corpse. Robinson was taken into custody to await the action of the grand jury but was released on a bond of $4,000. Bro. Robinson has a large circle of friends in Seymour who sympathize deeply with him and his family in this trouble, and who will rejoice to hear of his acquittal if tried for the murder of Captain Jones. -Baylor Co.

| 3745 | from "The Amherst Farmer's Cabinet", 12 Sep 1876 (genealogybank.com) THE LOWELL MURDER - It appears that the woman who killed Charles Ricker, at Lowell, last week, is none other then Lucy Ann Mink, the same who was arrested and tried for killing Dr. Baker, of Warren, Maine, formerly of this place, whom the jury failed to convict, but of whose guilt there was little doubt in the minds of the public. The murderess came to Lowell some eight months since, assuming the name of Lula A. Martin, and was employed at the boarding house of the brother of Ricker's as a domestic. Ricker was quite intimate with her until he learned that she was the person who was tried for the murder of Dr. Baker. She is dark complexed, of medium height, and weighs about one hundred pounds. Ricker made a statement of the circumstances of the tragedy before his death which was substantially as follows: He had kept company with her since February last, but of last had not been so attentive as formerly. She frequently followed him on the street and seemed anxious to renew their intimacy. She invited him to visit her on the night of the fatal shooting, and she was with him two hours at her room, on the third floor of No. 88 Merrimack street. The door was locked and there was no light in the room, for the reason, as she said, that there was no kerosene for her lamps. She went to the sink apparently for a drink of water, and returned and stood partially against the door to keep him from going out, and facing him, she fired the pistol when only a foot distant. He did not see pistol till the moment she fired. There was no scuffle and no angry words. After the shoots were fired he held her hands to prevent a second discharge of the pistol, and as soon as his cries brought help, he went to the doctor's office and then to his lodgings where he died Saturday afternoon. | Baker, Peyton Randolph (I16794)
