-----
October 3, 1883: Moncton, The Times
Mrs. Marshall, as we shall call her for convenience (she is generally known
as Mrs. McMonagle), age about 40, lives with her mother in a small house on
Wesley St. nearly opposite Peters Woodenware factory, Moncton. They keep
boarders and have done so for a number of years. Yesterday morn, Mr. Marshall
entered the house about 8 o'clock while she was kneading bread at a table in
the kitchen. The only two persons about were her sons Hugh McMonagle and Howie
McMonagle, age 12 or 15 years old. Marshall intimated he would do her injury
if she did not accede to his request to go live with him. This she refused to
do, saying she was not his lawful wife and did not intend to live with him
again. It was then Marshall withdrew his hands from his pockets and leveled
his revolver which he had concealed at his victim's head. The shot took effect
in the neck, going through in a slanting direction. Though not affecting and
vital parts, the wound is dangerous and may result in death. Testimony of Ruth
McMonagle.
The prisoner's full name is (Rev) Edward Manning Marshall, having been named
after a Baptist Minister of Nova Scotia. He is apparently about 55 years of
age and seems more than ordinary intelligent. He was born in Annapolis and
worked his trade as carpenter in N.S. and N.B. He came to this Province about
25 years ago and has worked at Salisbury, Petitcodiac, St. John and other
places. For the past five years he has chiefly been employed at farming in
Kent Co. Marshall married a Miss Moffatt of Salisbury (West. Co.) some 15
years ago, or thereabouts. They did not live happily together and were
frequently separated. She died about three years ago. One son, a child, aged
about 14, is now living at Coal Branch.
Marshall was married to Mrs. McMonagle a little over a year ago. They went
from here to Saint John to get married. They lived at his place at Pollett
River for a while, but separated in a few months. Mrs. McMonagles first
husband, Joseph McMonagle, son of Hugh McMonagle, is still living, though they
separated years ago. He is now married again in Nova Scotia. He was a farmer
and at the time of his first marriage lived in Salisbury Parish on Butternut
Ridge road about three miles from Petitcodiac station. Mrs. Marshall's (or
Mrs. McMonagle) name was Ruth White, her mother the widow Beatty having been
three times married. Since coming to Moncton the last time, Marshall has been
working in Lea and Rogers woodenware factory. (see original) [Ref: Janice

October 5, 1883 Moncton 'The Times' Examination of Edward Manning Marshall
on the charge of shooting Ruth McMonagle. Testimonies of William Wallace,
James D. Ross, M.D., Michael McGary (see original) [Ref: Janice White
10/25/2006]
convicted of shooting at Ruth McMonagle, otherwise known as Ruth
Marshall, with intent to kill. He appealed to the New BrunswickSupreme
Court for a re-trial, since Ruth was related to the Sheriff (Bliss
Botsford), and to three members of the Grand Jury. Conviction was upheld.
