Shot the purported father of her son, for failing to marry her. Once he was shot, he staggered and collapsed.
He lasted a while in the hospital. As he lay dying, he is reported to have said, "I am about to go to the presence of my Maker, and I tell you that I am innocent. Tell mother I never wronged the girl."
Daniel Price's brother, Seymour, swore out a warrant for Miss Booth's arrest.
There were many witnesses to the tragic event. Witness accounts varied. Witnesses seemed to agree Daniel Price was behind his brother who stood between him and Miss Booth. If that were so, some said, Daniel would have a difficult time to shoot her without wounding his brother as well.
One account stated Daniel Price tried to draw his gun to defend himself as Miss Booth aimed, but Price's gun had caught in his pocket. Then, he was shot; then stumbled away, while his brother tried to get the gun from Miss Booth. Then, Miss Booth left in a carriage.
Lillie Booth soon turned up at a hospital herself. She claimed Daniel Price had shot her; there were whispers of self harm. She had a wound one or two inches beneath her shoulder blade. According to Sister Corona who worked at the hospital, the entry wound and clothing had scorch marks. She also had a wound on the middle finger of her left hand.
19 October 1890, the day after Daniel Price died, Miss Lillie Booth died in St. Mary's hospital, Quincy Illinois. Her last words were said to have been, "God, have mercy on me."
Archie Booth, her son, born before the tragic deaths, was raised by his maternal uncle. He married Miss Erma Little 6 May 1911 at an Episcopal church in Evanston, Illinois.
