WILLIAM BARLOW SHOT.      Minstrel Badly Wounded and Wife Killed by a Burglar.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Oct. 9. -- William Barlow, formerly a widely known minstrel, was probably fatally wounded and his wife was killed late last night by an unidentified negro, who forced his way into the Barlow home at Argenta, a suburb of Little Rock.

A posse has started in pursuit of the negro.

WILLIAM BARLOW   October 10, 1914   Arkansas Democrat                                                         Copy of original article

BARLOW MURDER STILL A MYSTERY          "Billy" Barlow Dead at County Hospital, but Officers Still Working on Various Theories "Duece" Long Still Held.

An inquest over the body of Mr. Barlow will be held by Coroner M.P. McNeil at 7:30 o'clock this evening in the under-taking rooms of Owens and Ricks in Argenta. A large number of neighbors have been subpoenaed to testify concerning the tragedy.

"Billy" Barlow was 60 years of age. He was well-known in theatrical and circus circles wide fame. His wife is 23 years of age. They had been married six years. Their two children, Billie, aged 5, and Laura, aged 2, are being cared for at the home of E.W. Scott, 2127 Maple street.

Not entirely satisfied with the theory that "Billy" Barlow met his death at the hands of Manuel "Duece" Long, or of any other negro, Sheriff W.G. Hutton and his deputies and G.F. Campbell, chief of the Argenta police force, were engaged today in searching for new evidence, which if found may throw an entirely new light up on the mysterious tragedy which was staged in the Barlow home at 1322 East Washington street, Argenta, on Thursday night.

"Billy" Barlow died shortly before 1 o'clock this morning at the Pulaski Co Hospital, never having regained consciousness after he was struck in the head with a hatchet on Thursday night by some unknown assailant. The hope that he would at least regain consciousness long enough to throw light on the mystery was never realized.

Mrs. Barlow, who was severly cut about the head, and whose face was beaten almost to a pulp,is still confined to her bed at the County hospital, but physicians are sanguine of her recovery. She still affirms that the atrocious crime was the work of a short, heavy-set negro, but to officers she has qualified her identification of "Duece" Long by stating that she "thinks he is the man, but would not swear to it." She admits that she had difficulty in distinguishing the features of her alleged assailant because of the fact that the lamp in the room was burning very low.

Officers are by no means convinced that Long is the person who is responsible for Barlow's death, although he is being confined in the State penetentiary pending further developments. His brother, George Long, who was arrested with him and taken to the County hospital yesterday afternoon for identification, was released this morning. Mrs. Barlow immediately rejected him as a possibility. She said her assailant was much shorter in stature.
