Tragedy Reported in Home Case of Mary Hamilton
Mrs W H Grove testified in the trial of Hollmes at Egerty Sheriffogle that he called her daughter Mary Hamilton on November 26 1907 when she refused to marry him. The narrative describes an attempted death by own action as Holmes allegedly restrained her as she fired a fatal shot. Grove recalls checking the door and witnessing a dramatic confrontation as Holmes allegedly urged the marriage and drew a weapon. The testimony then outlines arguments at the house and the sequence leading to the fatal shot as the jury prepared to hear the case.
