A Crime for Judge Lynch.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 1.-THE details
of the most horrible crime ever perpe-
trated in this section came 20 light in the
Magistrates Court this afternoon. Two
BOYS, aged sixteen and eighteen, Fred.
Minter and Charles Hodge. in last Novem-
Der horribly abused Floyd Pickett, aged
eight years, and subjected him to indigni-
ties that an Apache Indian would be
ashamed of. In the latter part OF February
the boy died, but the details of the crime
were kept quiet by the child's parents IN
til the names of the perpetrators could be
discovered. This was done day ortwo
ago. and the brutes were brought to Knox
vile. The strength of the new jail will
most probably be tried as soon as the pub
lie knows the full horrible news. The
crime was committed in this county.

Psrtisans of the Candidates for the United

pr telegraph to the plsps.ch.l


TALLAHASSEE, FLA. April 11.-A shooting
ARRAY took place on the piazza OF the
Leon Hotel about 2 o'clock this afternoon
between s. s. Harvey. of Pensacola, and
J.E. Alexander, of Deland. Harvey has
been one of the active workers for John
F. Dunn in bis contest for the United
States senstorship, and Alexander Is here
in Calls interest. Harvey was seated on
the piazza when Alexander came up the
steps with W. II. Clark, ex-postmaster OF
jacksonville. Harvey beckoned 70 Alex
ander to walk down the porch with MN.
Harvey had heard that Alexander had re-
ported that he Harvey had boosted tnat
there was $500 In hand at tallahassee
with which to defeat Call, and he asked
Alexander if he had circulated this story,
adding that he did not propose to let him
or any other man tell damned lies about
him.
BOTH DREW.
Alexander asked if Harvey meant to call
him o liar, and upon Harvey's replying
Yes" he struck Harvey a blow on the
left temple. Then both men drew their pis-
tolls almost simultaneously. Harvey fired:
Clark struck his arm up and the ball
missed Alexander. Alexander turned and
ran, and Harvey fred a second shot at him
as he passed through the door. Clark,
still struggling. with Harvey, then ran to
the door and fired third shot at Alex
ander as the latter disappeared through
the back door OF the office leading to the
barber-shop. None of the shots took effect,
with the exception of a spent ball, which
hit Albertus Vogt in the foot, doing no in
jury.
HAD TO DODGE.
In a group within twenty feet of Harvey,
when he fred and in q direct line of his
shots. were Z. II. Purdy, of DAYTON; j. g..
Spottswood, A. Vogt, andF. W. Hawthorne.
agent of the Associated Press. They had
TO dodge the balls TO escape being hit.
When Havey fred the third shot across the
Office there were half dozen people pass
ing in and out of the dining-room and up
and down the stairs. But luckily no one
was hit. The widest excitement prevailed
for few minutes, and the whole hotel was
| in an uproar. Several minor alterations
grew out of the affair. but nothing serious.
HOW HARVEY GOT THE DROP.
Alexander says that his pistol caught. in
the case az he was pulling it from his
pocket. which enabled Harvey TO get the
dropn on him. After that he did not dare
to FIRE tor fear Of hitting Clark, who was
struggling with Harvey. Alexander I'M
doubtedly owes his life to Clarks inter
ference. No arrests were made. but the
Mayor served notice on both men to appear
in court Monday morning.
THEY WILL BE FINED.
It is predicted that he will fine both men
heavily under two or three different
charges. Alexander's friends had told him
early in the day that Harvey was looking
for him and that there would be trouble,

did. 1t was in arubbs- in his hip-pocket,
