Tuesday morning, July 20th, 1909.  The Quarters of Capt Charles Murphy, Grant Avenue, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Mrs. Murphy recounts the fateful events of that morning: “Minnie and I were standing just inside the door. Lieut. Hand was standing just outside with his left arm raised and his hand resting against the door. Without speaking O’Neal drew a revolver and fired four times under Lieut. Hand’s arms. Minnie fell and died instantly. My dress was burned by the powder.”
