No one in the house hearc! the pistol shot nor Jlit any one hoar the fall, Her family relations were most pleasant.

It was tho first Methodist church built In this town and county. It wan begun in IRfiD but wan not completed and dedicated i 1OT1.

D. Stockton the circuit rider for this circuit, and it was during his pastorate that the church was hogun and' completed. It was a one-story Htone building about 40 by SO feet.

To dls on tho gallowa is the only end fitted to the cruel and cowardly tiareer of man like Marshall Taylor, who was known In the mountanouft region where the states of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia join hands as "Doc" Taylor, dead shot, relentless on the trail of who had incurred his enmity. For years before the desperado "Tall" Hall, whoae red record display headlines for every newspaper in the country, expiated Wa crimes on the gallows at Wlae Court House, September l. 1832, there had existed a bitter feud between the'followers ot those two The death of one or both of them In a due! was the expected climax of this vendetta. A liberal reward was offered for the arrest of Hall on account of the murder ot Officer Hylton, for which crime he was hanged, and he was arrested at Memphis, Tonn. But Hall had toecomft so much of a terror that no one could be found to take the requisition papers and bring the outlaw back to trial.

It was at this juncture that "Doc" Taylor came to the front and offered to undertake the dangerous mission. His services were promptly accepted, and he not only brought his man bock, but to avoid the excitement, guarded him with a large posse In jail and to and from the court during a trial, that lasted over a week. All thin time Wise Court House was In a etute of seise by a band of Hall's fol- loweru and outlaws from Kentucky, who threatened to rescue-Hall. Taylor headed a heuvlly body of citizens, and by presenting a front, defeated the purpose of Hall's aympathizers. "Doc" Taylor's alliance with his enemy, the law, In the arrest of his greater enemy, "Talt" Hall, caused him to carry things with a high and bloody hand among the mountaineers, His last cruel and i a crime, of which he was found guilty by a Jury, was the massacre of the Mulllns family.

Ira Mulllns, his wife and two children and a driver were returning to Virginia in a waffon from Kentucky. Mul- lliiH had all his possessions with him, including some 'cosh. The family were set upon in tho neighborhood of Pond Gap by Doc Taylor and his sting and not one of them survived to tell the tale. Father, mother, children and the driver were murdered, the bodies rifled and the wagon robbed of contents. Tho news of this crime spread rapidly, and the people of the yiitlre country surrounding the scene became flrot alarmed and next united In a determination to hunt down Doc Taylor and his gang.

Every man become a law uiilcer, uiij after a. purwult that was close aud marked by sevoral ftklrmlaheB Taylor was finally captured and placed in the Wise county jail. He was tried and speedily convicted. Both Hall and Taylor belonged to the fajnous Kuerllla band commanded by the Jauntit'ats John Morgan during the war of rebellion and made themselves conspicuous for their deeds of reckless daring. hen the war ended they returned to Kentucky and Inaugurated a reign of terror in the mountains.

Murders were the iinily amusement of the gang, and although they were frequently arrwfel Uia terror which they Inspired Insured tholr acquittal when brought to trial. It was well known that any Juror who voted to convict any of tho desperadoes would be marked for their frlenun, and as a consequei.cn they always CHcoitod. this way Hall acquitted of cold-bloofled murder of Hcnrv Matr- in 1SCO.
