Robert Woody has been lodged in jail at
/ Marietta, charged with the killing of William
| hImsey, IN Gilmer county. Woody lives q
Fannin, and was taken at his home. The kIll-
ing occurred at a church use on the Blue
Ridge Just after cong egati N, who had been
attending divine service, had been dismissed

cling the road ne ar the church with a wagon
and yoke of oxen and Il jug of brandy. ana
was intoxicated. He ascertained that Find

during services and went in. finding Findiey
there. bad state Of feeling had Tor some
time existed between them. When the
congregation was dismissed, and in the
yard of the church, a difficulty sprang up be-
tween Woody and Fndley. and both drew
their weapOns-tindley a &-cartridge and
Woody large cap and ball Colts navy. The
SHOTS were almost simultaneous. but 1t is SAD
that the report of Woody's pls,Ol was heard
first. klmsey, the deceased, was between
them, or nearly so, and failed to get out of the
way in time, and was MORALLY wounded IN
the body, the ball passing through. The com
batants unOaded their pistols at each other
Fndley was not hit, but Woody was struck
on the right hand and IN the shoulder In
probing the wound on kimsey the patching OF
the ball was found. such as Is used IN loading
cap and BAH pstos, which indicates that
Woody shot HIM. The grand jury found true
bills for murder against both Woody and
Flndley. The latter is in the West, while the
former has remained about his wild mountain
home and dehed arrest. A few nights ago
Deputy sheriff Plns0n, with posse, made "A
raid for HIM upon his house and among his rela-
tiOus and friends IN the nelghbOrh0Od, but
without success. As the posse came out they
were iired upon from ambush, when several
shots were exchanged. Je1 Edmundson, one
OF the posse, asserts that Woody was IN the
crowd, and that he recognized hlm. The
sheriff then authorized EumundsOn to make
the arrest, which he did. IN company with m.
brother, Bin Edmundson, and VIM. Thomas.
These amhushed around W0OdY's house dur
ing the night and TIL 10 O'Clock Tuesday, be-
fore an opportunity offered. Finally Woody
strapped his pistol around his shoulders. took
ms favOrlte old rifle and started out appa-
rently for a hunt. Jef1 Edmundson demanded
ms surrender Woody fed, but only to run
on Bill Edmunds0n and Thomas. seeing the
first Woody eveied ms rifle at HIM. but
Thomas was TOO quick. ana had a carblne m
MS breast. at distance OF about ~ feet.
Woody saw IL was death or capture. and, as
ne SAYS, to have killed Edmundson would only
have proved his own end, he threw up his
hands and surrendered.
