KICKED TO DEATH. That the Fate of Shattuck, the Horseman. ERNEST FLAGG ACCUSED. He Became Angry at Shattuck – Alleged Murderer in Cambridge Jail – A Sad Home Scene. James G. Shattuck, a well-known horse dealer, lies dead at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the victim of an assault committed upon him by a man alleged to have been under the influence of liquor. As a result of his death Ernest Flagg, a well-known Somerville man, occupies a cell in the East Cambridge jail charged with murder. The assault, which ended so seriously, occurred on a public street of Somerville last Friday. The victim was 52 years of age. He was returning to his home on Carleton street, and was passing the Independent Club on Somerville avenue, when he was accosted by a crowd of young men who were standing on the sidewalk. Among the crowd were Ernest Flagg, 21 years of age; “Toby” Lyons, the well-known ball player and variety actor, and “Shorty” Shaw, a well-known member of the club. The boys began to jeer at Shattuck as he approached – so it is claimed by the police and asked him several questions, to which he paid little attention. Finally, as he was in their midst, Flagg cried out: “Take your team and take us to the beach.” Shattuck replied in the negative, and the refusal, it is said, made Flagg angry, He jumped at the old man and kicked him twice in the abdomen. The victim was nearly knocked over by these blows, but managed to reach his home unassisted. Then the consequences of the blows inflicted by Flagg began to show. He was in terrible agony and took to his bed, writhing in pain and groaning as he tossed from one side of the bed to the other. Serious Indeed. Dr. Dearborn was called, and after making a thorough examination prescribed for the sufferer. The patient passed a bad night and throughout Saturday and Sunday continued to grow worse. On Sunday afternoon Dr. Richardson of the Massachusetts General Hospital decided that an operation was absolutely necessary, and that the man should be removed to the hospital. At about 8 o’clock Sunday evening he was taken in an ambulance to Boston. The operation was performed, but the sick man became worse, and his condition was so serious that his wife was sent for. In her presence he died yesterday morning about 4 o’clock. Flagg Is Arrested. When it became evident that Shattuck could not live, Chief Parkhurst of the Somerville police was notified, and a warrant was sworn out for Flagg’s arrest. The paper was put in the hands of Captain Perry, and he, accompanied by Officer Smith, arrested Flagg at the home of his parents, 325 Somerville avenue, early yesterday morning. The prisoner was arraigned before the Police Court yesterday, and pleading “Not guilty” to the charge of murder he was held till Aug. 11 without bail. Flagg is a fresco painter by trade, and was employed in Boston. The victim was one of the best-known horsemen in New England. For years he ran the sale stables on Chardon and Portland streets. He was married last December, and in a neat cottage on Carleton street a Post man found the young widow last evening. The pale face and wet eyes plainly told their pathetic story. She told the facts from first to last, but the terrible recital was too much for her nerves. And now it’s for the jury (Boston Post, August 2, 1892).
