MURDER CULLEN, Aloysius "Zilhman Man Seriously Shot Christmas Afternoon - Doctors Hold Little Hope For His Life-Harry Shriver Held In Jail Here Charged With Attempt To Murder Aloysius Cullen - Abdomen Is Torn Away By Charge-Shot Down Without Provocation As He Seeks To Quiet Liquor-Crazed Man Crazed by drink, Harry Shriver, 30, divorced, a miner, shot and probably fatally wounded Aloysius Cullen, 30, married, another miner, and neighbor in Zilhman, a mining village between Frostburg and Mt. Savage, about 5:30 o'clock last evening, with a shotgun. The charge tore a hole in Cullen's lower abdomen above the hip. The shooting was declared to be without provocation. Condition Is Critical Cullen was taken to Miner's Hospital, where he was operated on by Dr. W. O. McLane, Jr., of Frostburg, and Dr. Frank M. Wilson, of Cumberland. His condition was reported as critical today. Shriver was arrested and placed in jail. According to investigation by the authorities, Shriver had been drinking during the afternoon and threatened to kill several people, firing at one group at his boarding house who fled, the charge tearing a hole in the wall of the kitchen. A loaded revolver had been previously taken away from him by a friend. Two belts of shells were taken from him when placed under arrest. Shriver boarded with Mrs. Emma Vizzi, Green Row, Zilhman. It appears that Charles Harden, Earl Harden and Wonford Sween came to the home to see Alfred Vizzi, son of Mrs. Emma Vizzi. Shriver, who was drinking and disorderly, was urged by Mrs, Vizzi to go to his room and behave himself. This was resented by Shriver. He went upstairs to his room and closed the door. When asked to behave himself by the group in the home, Shriver is said to have left the house but later returned with the shotgun, and those present seeing him armed, ran out. Shriver blasted away as several of them ran out the door, the charge tearing a hole in the wall near the kitchen door. Threatened To Kill Charles and Earl Harden, brothers, had come from Morantown in their automobile and left the machine standing outside the Vizzi home in the road. Shriver is said to have come out in the yard, and with an oath dared any of them to get in the machine and sit behind the steering wheel, declaring he would kill them. Shriver, it appears, had raised the hood and jerked out the distributor, disabling the car.  At this juncture, Aloysius Cullen, living on the same row in Zilhman, came up to see what the trouble was, accompanied by Edgar Shumaker and Ellis Lockhart, young men. They were on the road, when Shriver, holding his weapon, repeated the threat to kill, it was alleged, that he would "kill the first man that got into the machine." Cullen, who knew him well, sought to humor him, by declaring he (Cullen) could not drive a car. This led to an exchange of words, when Shriver, it is declared, suddenly raised the weapon and fired point blank at Cullen. The charge tore his stomach open, and he collapsed, bleeding, in the roadway, his intestines being perforated and torn, the wad from the gun entering them. Ellis Lockhart, Andrew Lennox, Harland Porter, and Harry Lennox, who came up, put Cullen in a machine and drove him to the hospital. Another Narrowly Escapes It is declared that previous to wounding Cullen, .......gun in the stomach of Armel Sween, and threatened to kill him, but Sween knocked the gun barrel away with his hand and ran around the house. Sheriff Hugh A. Hotchkiss, with County Investigator, Terrence J. Boyle, and State Officers Park and LaMotte went to Zilhman and arrested Shriver found at the Vizzi home. A Winchester repeating rifle and a single shot shotgun with two belts of loaded shells were taken from him. A loaded revolver had been taken away from Shriver earlier in the day by Charles Harden, Jr. Shriver Angry At Vizzi According to information given officers, Shriver had intended to shoot young Vizzi because Vizzi objected to attentions paid by Shriver to his mother. Cullen was acting in the capacity of peacemaker when he was shot. Cullen is a son of Timothy C. Cullen, Mill street, Frostburg. His wife was Miss Viola Hamilton. He is a brother of Timothy A. Cullen, past commander of Farrady Post No. 24, American Legion, and Bryan, Patrick and John Cullen, all of Frostburg. His sisters are Mrs. Samuel Morgan, Frostburg; Mrs. John Bryson, Midland; Mrs. George Meyers, Hanover, Pa.; Mrs. John Anthony, Baltimore; and Miss Genevieve Cullen, Pitcairn, Pa." NOTE: Harry Shriver was later found guilty of second degree murder and was sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary.

The Baltimore Sun, 5 Nov 1897 (Courtesy of Theresa Burba)     MOODY, John P. AN OLD QUARREL ENDS IN MURDER John Moody Shot Down On Street in Frostburg By Ed Welsh, Ex-Miner. Frank Welsh Was Discharged as a Miner, and Accused Moody of Being the Cause ~ Welsh Brothers and Moody Met Saturday Night The peace and quiet of the little city of Frostburg was broken in upon Saturday evening and the people were startled by a sudden outbreak of crime unprecedented in the history of the town. Murder and robbery mingled in quick succession. While John Moody a miner, lay upon the sidewalk of Main street, breathing his life away from a bullet wound at the hands of Edward Welsh, an ex-miner, unknown assailants chloroformed and robbed Mrs. Harry Williams of $100, and burglars a short time previous robbed the Cumberland & Pennsylvania railroad station. The story of the murder and the facts with the same, are so far as they are obtainable as follows: The crime originated with bad blood that existed between Moody and Frank Welsh, a brother of the man who fired the deadly ball, Moody had secured employment with the Consolidation Coal Co., about the time that Frank Welsh was discharged, and the latter it is alleged, suspected the former with having had something to do with his losing his job. Saturday was a pay day, and about 11 o'clock that night the Welsh brothers and Moody met in Monahan's saloon, at the corner of Main and Grant streets, where a quarrel started that was carried out into the street. Frank Welsh and Moody continued the quarrel, when it is alleged, Edward Welsh drew a gun and fired, the ball striking Moody in the head, inflicted such a deadly wound that death resulted at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home on Centre street, Frostburg. It is alleged that a revolver dropped out of Moody's pocket as he fell. After the tragedy, Welsh went to his home to tell what had occurred, and to make arrangements to surrender himself to the officers of the law, but the latter called at the house and placed Welsh under arrest, and placed him in the town lock-up, but later bringing hm to this city and placing him in jail. A jury was empaneled and an inquest held by Justice John Chambers fin the council chamber at Frostburg last night. State's Attorney A.A. Williamson was present. A number of witnesses were examined, the jury holding Welsh responsible for the crime. The dead man was well known in Frostburg. He formerly conducted a saloon and managed the Frostburg baseball team. He was unmarried and is survived by his aged mother, two sisters, Miss Mary Moody, residing there, and Miss Emma Moody, a teacher in the Flintstone school, and three brothers, Messrs. Orlando, William and Joseph Moody, all of Frostburg. Edward Welsh, who faces the serious charge, has a wife and two small children. Since leaving the mines he had been working for the local ice company. He will not receive a preliminary hearing and his case will be directly investigated by the grand jury. CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE A Times representative called at the jail to see the accused, but the latter said that he did not want to see any one. The only reference that he has made about the affair since his incarceration here was to state to the jail officials that he acted in self-defense. His friends are anxious and ready to go on his bond, but the offense is not a bailable one. It is said that there is much bad feeling in and around Frostburg, and the situation is not a desireable one. Winter is here and many of the miners are out of employment, and some of the latter, at least, think that they have lost their employment through the work of others. But is is to be hoped that things will calm down without any further harm. The outbreak of crime caused the greatest excitement to prevail that the mountain town has witnessed for many a day. THE JURY The jury of inquest was composed as follows: Uriah Jones, foreman; T. H. Morgan, A.P. Burton, John Jeffries, George C. Nevill, David Kelly, W.D. Burton, Owen England, Charles A. Ehm, James A. Parker and Wm. Hawkins.

The Evening Times - Cumberland, Maryland - Wednesday - December 13, 1905 - Page 3 (Courtesy of Bob Thompson) Posted July 22, 2010     SCHAIDT, Conrad Ira Cleveland Carson, of Nora Indiana, charged with the murder of Conrad Schaidt, a young man of Cumberland, who was to have been married on Christmas day, was arrested last Friday afternoon by deputy sheriff Don Davis, while working on the Twin Mountain Railroad, several miles from Keyser. Carson at first refused to accompany the officer, but later they persuaded him to surrender and quietly go with them. He was taken to Cumberland on 14 Fri evening and lodged in jail. On the morning of December 18, while working at the Creek bridge on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, just east of Cumberland. Carson struck Conrad Schaidt over the head with a shovel used in mixing concrete, fracturing his skull at the base of the brain and driving it down over the nose and into the ears bursting them. Schaidt died early Christmas morning at the Alleghany Hospital from meningitis, produced by the injury. After the assault, Carson, who was given his pay check by Foreman McKernan, cooly went to a bank and had it cashed and then disappeared. The coroner's jury sat last Tuesday night and rendered a verdict fixing the crime on Carson. The testimony showed that the assault was unprovoked and that Schaidt was in the act of raising the handles of his wheelbarrow when Carson, who claimed that Schaidt was in his way, bore down on his head with the shovel. The men had not quarreled. Carson, since his arrest, stated that the men had been teasing him all morning and he struck Schaidt in a fit of desperation. Carson is a floating laborer and the men who had been working with him said he acted as if there was something in his past that he did not care to tell. Carson had engaged board at Keyser last Saturday week and since that time had been working on the railroad. Sheriff Corfield at first interviewed the boarding house keeper and found that the new boarder answered the description of the man wanted. Going in an automobile with Deputy Sheriff Davis to the railroad work, Sheriff Corfield found the man wanted and Carson admitted that he struck Schaidt with a shovel, but he did not think hard enough to kill him, nor was it his intention to kill him.

REVISITING A TRIAL WHICH TOOK PLACE 56 YEARS EARLIER ~ IN 1851 Nov. 4, 1907 - (Cumberland) Evening Times A WEIRD STORY ABOUT A WOMAN Tried for Poisoning Lady With Whom She Lived "In a recent paper published in your journal on the subject of Allegany county murders, I stated another would be furnished soon upon the same general topic or subject. I will now do what was then promised or suggested.  The murder trials to be written up in this paper will be such as resulted in acquittal or in punishment less than execution. The first of the kind to be recalled is that of Richard W. Clarke, of Flintstone. He was indicted at the April court, 1851, for the murder of his wife. In the following month he was tried for wife murder and was found guilty of murder in the second degree by a jury, and was sentenced to a confinement in the penitentiary for 18 years. His punisment. The next case of the kind was that of the noted Nancy Hufferd, of what is now Garrett county. She was indicted at the October term of the Circuit Court for Allegany Co., 1851, for the murder of Mrs. Samuel Engle by administering poison to her at the birth of her first child, which caused her death in about a week after the birth of the child. Mrs. Hufferd being the nurse of Mrs. Engle in her sickness in which there was nothing unusual in the beginning, but suddenly she became alarming ill and died. Suspicions at once arose in and out of the Engle mansion that there had been foul play. The physician, Dr. J. H. Patterson was of that belief, and before the burial of the victim, he made a post mortem examination of her but could not make any discovery of the poison believed to have been administered to her. She was buried in due time, but the belief and excitement spread over the whole neighborhood which led to the disinterment of the woman and a second post mortem examination was made by Drs. Patterson, Hermann and J. H. Bruce, who had just comenced the practice. The stomach was taken from the deceased and intrusted to Dr. Termann to be sent to Prof. Aikin, of Baltimore, for examination. The suspect, Nancy Hufferd, was promptly arrested and committed to the Allegany county jail in September, '57." [note: should read 1851]. "Her trial was had about the first of the following November before Judge Wiesel. James M. Schley state's attorney, and the great Frank Thomas were prosecutors. She was ably defended by T. I. McKaig and George A. Pearre. The jury were as follows: Domnick Mattingly, Sol Vroman, Wm. Anderson, Aza Beall of Thomas, Adam Gower, Amon Wilson, John Long, Alpheus W. Beall, Jacob W. Rawlings, Thos. D. Dawson, George P. Mong and Joseph Hughes. All these jurors have been dead many years. John Long was the only home juror. The were 38 [note: it looks like 38 but hard to make out] witnesses in this notorious case, for and against; nine living according to best knowledge and information. Five doctors, J. H. Patterson, H. Hermann, J. J. Bruce, S. P. Smith, T. A. Healy, all deceased for many years. Dr. Bruce, the yougest of five, left us in 1884, a great loss. But there remains one who will remembers[sic] this tragedy and even witnessed some of it. The evidence on the part of the State was circumstantial. The main fact was that the accused had purchased about the time a lot of arsenic from a store in Grantsville with the remark she wanted to make salve for her sore leg, but there was no sore leg. There was no further tracing of the poison up to the time of this trial. Prof. Aiken testified that he found no arsenic in the stomach he examined. The woman was acquitted on the evidence adduced. But after the trial was over and Nancy Hufferd a free worman, the remainder of the deadly poison was found in a corner of a bureau drawer in the house of Mr. Engle. Who can say the verdict would have been the same if the remaining poison had been produced at the trial. She was acquitted according to the rules of law; but there was hardly one in the whole neighborhood believed her to be innocent. Her history was an unsavory one in a general way. She was married 4 or 5 times, certainly the former number. Her first husband was John Yeast, a strong, healthy man, died unexpectedly if not mysteriously in 1834. Some slight suspicions then of of an unnatural death. In a short time she was again married; this time to John Layman, a very respectible man and a prominent one, died in 1845, a natural death from cancer. Her next marriage was with Philip Hufferd, of Somerset Co., Pa. In a few years she was again a widow - this husband died suddenly, it was said after eating pumpkin pie. Suspicions arose but no investigations or legal proceedings. She at once returned to her old neighborhood and was soon on the hunt of another husband. She had a choice but failed to get the one she wanted. This was only a short time before her trial. She persevered and in the course of a few years she found another husband in the person of Holmes Wiley, a well known citizen of Garrett county, but she did not live to see his death. They both died natural deaths many years ago. There was this strange thing about this noted woman. She always wanted a man or husband, yet she never bore a child in her long checkerd life. She is remembered by only a few and cared for by none, it may be said. Dr. Patterson, mentioned, was a prominent physician of the old county twice elected to our Legislature. He took the sad death of his patient Mrs. Engle, very sorrowfully. He died three months later. Will state the writer saw the first post mortem examination at the request of Dr. Patterson. It was not a desirable spectacle. Two cases in our court in the same year involving wife murder." J.B. November 4, 1907. VIEW ACTUAL  TRIAL TRANSCRIPT NANCY HUFFERD

MAYHEM   SERIOUS GUNPLAY AT FROSTBURG Sept. 14, 1908 - (Frostburg, MD) Bureau of the Evening Times FOUR MEN WERE WOUNDED An Inebriated Man Started the Trouble in a Hotel. Saturday Night Frostburg Was Startled by a Shooting Affair That Came Near Resulting in a Lynching. Wounded Brought to Hospital "This town was thrown into a state of excitement on account of a shooting affray which occurred upon the main street of the town about 10:30 o'clock Saturday evening and as a result two men are lying in the hospital in Cumberland, hovering between life and death, and the man who did the shooting is in the county jail, painfully wounded as a result of a gunshot wound inflicted by an officer in attempting his arrest.  The facts leading up to the cause of the shooting were given to the Times correspondent by Mr. D. S. Brooks, superintendent for the selling force of men arrived in this place Saturday evening and were quartered at the Gladstone Hotel.  Prior to coming here they were working in and around Cumberland.  Sometime during last week Mr. J. W. Campbell, one of the salesmen, commenced to imbibe too freely, and Mr. Brooks found it necessary on Saturday to dismiss him and pay him the amount of money due him.  Mr. Campbell had previously worked for the company and had on one occasion drawn an amount of money by draft which was not due him, and which he had never returned to the company.  About three weeks ago he commenced to work for the company again and it was understood when he started that he would reimburse the company for the amount due them from his salary, and when Mr. Brooks settled with him on Saturday he retained this amount, which angered Campbell to some extent, yet he acknowledged the amount should be paid.  Mr. Brooks left Cumberland on the 8 o'clock street car and came to Frostburg,  Mr. Campbell informing him that he was coming to Frostburg on the next car, as he expected to get some mail at that place. WAS READY TO HANG. When the 10 o'clock car from Cumberland arrived here, Campbell got off and was very much under the influence of liquor, and going into the Gladstone Hotel, he registered as J. W. Campbell, and gave his residence as "Everywhere" and remarked when going in the hotel that he had blood in his eye, and would just as soon hang upon a telegraph pole as anywhere else.  After registering he spoke to Mr. Brooks about the money he had retained from his salary.  Mr. Brooks in answering him told him that the matter had been satisfactorily settled and he did not care to converse about it, but hoped they would be friends.  At this time Mr. Brooks was called to the telephone booth, to answer a call from Cumberland, and upon returning to the office Campbell whipped out his gun, which was of .38 calibre, and fired at Mr. Brooks.  The gun was so close to him that the flash of the discharge was felt on his face.  Mr. Brown[sic] started to get away from him, when he again fired two more shots at him, and it was the first of these three shots that wounded  Mr. Charles Martin, one of the employes[sic] of Mr. Brooks, the ball entering his body and lodging near the heart.  Mr. Brooks by this time had gotten out to the sidewalk and started down street closely followed by Campbell, who from a position in front of the Gladstone fired at him again. A PISTOL DUEL About the time the third shot was fired Constable John Bartolon was standing in front of Wittig Bros. store and hearing the shots started to investigate and when about half way across the street he saw Campbell coming down street.  Campbell at once opened fire on Bartolon who about that time slipped and fell, the shot passed over him.  This is the shot that is supposed struck Mr. Merino Bruno, an Italian miner, who was standing in front of G. W. Hocking and Son's shoe store, and who is now in the hospital in Cumberland in a serious condition.  By the time Bartolon got to his feet Campbell had passed him and was still following Brooks down street.  Bartolon pulled his gun and made chase to try and get his man without wounding him, but Campbell turning saw him with his gun in his hand and at once opened fire on him.  Bartolon, crouching low, returned the shot, shooting low in order to avoid hitting any of the people who were on the street. SHOT OFFICER. Campbell again shot at Bartolon, this time inflicting a slight flesh wound in his left side.  Bartolon returned the fire, this time shooting low, and caught his man in the leg near the hip, the ball passing through his leg.  Bartolon again attempted to use his gun and it missed fire and he jumped into the store of Albert Spitznas to examine it, and while doing this Campbell started down Payne Alley, when he was grabbed by Mr. Sylvester Crowe and thrown to the ground, assisted by Mr. Alf. Schofield, who took the gun from Campbell.  By this time a large crowd had gathered and Campbell was hurried to the town lockup and placed behind the bars, and the sheriff of the county was notified, who later came to Frostburg in an automobile and took the prisoner to Cumberland and placed him in the county jail. TAKEN TO HOSPITAL. After the excitement had abated the wounded men, Mr. Martin and Mr. Bruno, were taken in charge by Drs. McLane, Griffith, Denauley, Price and Walker, and everything possible was done to relieve their suffering.  Later they were placed upon a special car furnished by Supt. Jno. E. Taylor of the electric road, and hurried to the Western Maryland Hospital. Mr. Brooks, the superintendent of the Wrought Iron Range Company, regrets this shooting affair, and says there was no provocation for the act, and nothing done by him or any of his men justified the attack made by Mr. Campbell.  Mr. Brooks seems to be a gentleman in every way and has with him eight other men who seem to be steady and industrious, and they all expressed themselves to the Times correspondent as being surprised at the dastardly attempt made upon the life of their manager, for when they left Campbell in Cumberland he seemed to be friendly with them all, but they attribute his mad act to his being dismissed and the imbibing of too much liquor. MUCH EXCITEMENT There was considerable excitement after the shooting and a number of men in the immense crowd of people suggested lynching Campbell, but no attempt was made and he was landed in the town jail without any interference on the jpart of anyone. Constable Bartolon is being congratulated today upon the brave manner in which he stood his ground when Campbell was shooting at him.  Even after he was wounded, and had he so desired, he could have killed his man.  But rather than do that, he shot low, hoping to disable him and in this way got him alive and place him behind the bars, and let the law take its course with him, and this he accomplished.  Although knowing that in facing the drunken man mad[sic], who was about 15 feet away from him, he was putting his life in danger, he took these chances believing that it was his duty to protect the lives of the hundreds of people who were on the street at the time the shooting commenced, and in doing so demonstrated that he was no coward and would perform his duty, regardless of consequences.  Mr. Campbell, the man who did the shooting is a resident of Baltimore.  Mr. Martin, one of the men who was shot in the Gladstone hotel, is a resident of Chambersburg, PA. and is the hostler in charge of the seven teams which Mr. Books and his men use in their work. Mr. Merino Bruno is a resident of Eckhart and a miner by occupation, and a very industrious and steady young man. The two wounded men, who were brought here as stated above, were taken to the Western Maryland Hospital.   At nine o'clock this morning Dr. Hawkins, who is attending both of the men, stated that while neither of them was out of danger, that their condition at the above hour was fairly good, and that Martin was in good shape. Later, this afternoon it was stated that Mr. Martin was getting along nicely, but that Bruno was very critically ill, but that he too, was doing fairly well.  The wounded men when they were brought here Saturday night, were taken to the hospital in ambulances from Stein's undertaking establishment.
