FAYETTE JANEWAY
June 13, 1902

Fayette Janeway, aged 57 years, was shot and instantly 
killed in Douglas Sunday morning about 5 o'clock by his 
daughter, Ida, aged 18 years, says the Bisbee Review.

According to the statement made by the daughter, her 
father was attempting to make a criminal assault and to 
protect her honor she shot him with a revolver.  The bullet 
took effect in the head, lodging in the brain.

At the coroner's inquest held Monday the girl was declared 
justified in taking the life of her father and exonerated 
her from all blame.

From the girl's testimony it was learned that on last 
Wednesday Janeway attempted to assault his daughter, but 
was repulsed after a hard struggle.  He repeated the 
attempt Friday night with the same result.

The two leading characters in the tragedy, was a brother 
of the girl.  Sunday night the brother spent away from 
home.  On that night Janeway made three attempts to 
assault his daughter, who warned him to desist.  The 
third attempt resulted in the inhuman father's 
death.  Just as he was about to grab his daughter 
she pointed a revolver at his face and pulled the 
trigger.  Janeway dropped over, a victim of his 
own unnatural lust.

The young lady has borne up bravely under the trying 
ordeal.  Her mother has been dead several years and 
the people of Douglas extend sincere sympathy.  The 
Janeways came to Douglas about seven weeks ago from 
Silver City New Mexico and were working people.
