ANNIE NEWBRAUGH SHOT
EDWARD O’BRIEN COMMITS SUICIDE
Last Monday at about 8 o’clock at the residence of Thos. McDONOUGH, in Wayne
township, there was enacted the saddest and most cruel tragedy that has ever darkened the history
of Fulton county. The circumstances as fully as we have been able to glean them are given below.
Edward O’BRIEN, a young man perhaps 21 years of age, had been for some time paying
his attentions to Miss Annie NEWBRAUGH, a refined and highly respected young lady of his
neighborhood. About two months ago, however, the young lady rejected his company, and
accepted the attentions of a Mr. SMITH. On last Sunday Miss Newbraugh took dinner at the
O’Brien homestead, and in the evening was taken home by Edward. It appears that some difficulty
had arisen which it is thought brought the would-be murderer to Mr. McDonough’s where Miss
Annie worked, in the morning following. Meeting Miss Newbraugh, he was invited in the room,
and it was soon apparent that he was in a desperate mood. In a few minutes Annie came running
from the room, closely followed by Edward, who drew a revolver, and fired at her on the porch,
striking her in the side of the face, and as she ran continued firing until he had emptied three
chamgers of his revolver, a 22 calibre.
Mrs. McDONOUGH and the hired man, Jim CONNERS, ran with Annie toward the
barn, and one ball fired struck Miss Annie in the fleshy part of the arm near the shoulder, and
another perforated the coat sleeve of Mr. Conners, without any injury to him. Miss Newbraugh
sank to the ground and O’Brien supposing that he had killed his victim, or fearing the
consequences of his rash act, placed the weapon to his right temple and fired. He fell on the porch
where he lay some time before friends arrived who removed him home, where he died in the
afternoon at 4 o’clock and was buried yesterday at 2 p.m.
A messenger was at once dispatched for Dr. SHULTZ of Logansport, who upon his
arrival probed for the ball in the head and found that it had entered near the point of the right
cheek bone and ranged upward and forward back of the eye, and its location cannot be found. In
the search for the bullet the right eye was removed from it socket, and was found to be badly
mangled on its posterior side by the cruel missile. The wound on the arm is very painful though of
itself not fatal unless blood poison or inflammation should take place. The wound in the face is a
very severe and dangerous one and considering the fact that the bullet is probably imbedded near
the cerebrum and will likely produce inflamation of the brain makes her chances for recovery
extremely doubtful.
Miss Newbraugh was a very pretty and unassuming girl of seventeen, and was very
popular in her neighborhood.
