No. 49 FLORA, ILLINOIS. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1922 NUMBER 12 WN. FLOY NAUNSKY SHOT AND KILLED Last Satnrday NiKht at Woods Homr on E>ist Street the Wm. Seventh INQl'EST SUND.IY Al-TERNOOV Last Saturday evening between slz and seven o'clock Flonr citizens were dumbfounded to learn that Wm. Floy Mallnsky, son of Mr. and Hrs. £. F. Mallnsky, had been shot at the Wm. Woods home, on East Seventh street, and tbat he was fat ally wounded. He passed away be¬ tween six and seven o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. 'Woods, who is a brakeman on the Springfleld branch ot the B. A O., lives in the Warren Smith prop¬ erty, formerly occupied by E. "6. Oorrell until-he moved to Loulsvllle. Both Mr. and Mrs. Woods were away from home, the former out on his run, wblle Mrs. Woods had gone to the country in a car, to •visit rela¬ tives. She returned nome about 7:30 p. m. , Supposed to be a nurglar It is difficult to get all details of the shooting and the causes that led to It, but the story, aa near as we can get it, seems as follows; Mr. Mallnsky appears to have gone to the Woods home to get some arti¬ cles left there on Thursday night. Mrs. E. G. Brydon, who lives across the street east, noticed a light in the Woods home and knowing the family were away, thought a burglar tiad Invaded. She gave a burglar alarm, notifying C. E. Gibson, who aroused the neighbors in an effort to capture the supposed burglar, there having been several burglaries in the neigh¬ borhood 'previously. Eber Phillips, of south of Xenla, who graduated from the Flora high school last /uOe, was visiting at the Gibson hotjte, he having boarded there whesf he attended school. It Is claimed tllat he rushed out of the house and seeing the fleeing man, fired at him with a revolver^ but supposed he was shooting above his head. Mallnsky ran to the street ju.si ^east of Mrs. Mary Campbell, Fifth and Locust, where he dropped. W. C. McCaully and Leo Lents, who had been pursuing hini an a supposed burglar, saw him fal! and he was taken into the Mrs. Campbell home, where three physicians, Drs. Bow¬ man, Finch and Young, did all pos¬ sible, but he died the next morning A bullet had pierced his right lung and his left side had been grazed by another bullet. Coroner's Iiiriuest Held Coroner James M. Dean of Xenla held an inquest Sunday afternoon at the city hall, the jurors being W. E. Wood, foreman. Dr. P. H. Bayles, vl. H. Altom, Stephen Oolden, Harold Luse and Floyd Hockman. The Jury found that Mallnsky had died from a gun shot wound and recom¬ mended holding Eber Phillips for further investigation. Mr. PhilllpH gave bond for $1,000 and was re¬ leased. A preliminary hearing has been set for next Saturday at 11 o'clock before Squire M. S. Diekerson, At¬ torney Jas. H. Smith has been re¬ tained by the defense as their law¬ yer. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 1:30 at the B> F. ,Ma- linsky home, conducted by Rev. G. W. Zink, pastor ot the Christian church, followed by interment in Elmwood cemetery. Deceased had been employed In tbe B. A O. shops. He was an Odd Fellow and a Mason. The circumstances surrounding this tragedy make it especially la¬ mentable, as the victim was evident¬ ly shot as a supposed burglar in the heat of excitement, with no one hav¬ ing previous malice or forethought ol taking human life.
