Additional facts pertaining to Moultrie's
tragedy, mentioned in yesterdays Morn
ing News, give an exceedingly dark color
TO the crime. Henry Harris and his son,
Robert, were going home, having been
in Moultrie in attendance on the superior
court, which is now in session, and about
four miles out met Henry Neismth ana
his son, Nathan, a young man of about
q years old. When the parties met in
the public road the elder Harris asked
the Neismiths where they were going, and
was told by Henry Nesmith that they
were going to Moultrie to attend to some
business, and with no further cause what
ever, the two Harrises drew their wea-
pons, Henry Harris a shotgun loaded with
buckshOt and Robert Harris a revolver,
and fired upon the two Neismths, Henry
Harris shooting Henry Neismith in the
body with a load of buckshot, four of
the shots having penetrated clear through
the body, and Robert Harris shooting Ma
than Neismith in the leg with revolver.
Young Nathan Neismith drove his father
10 the city at once and the father died
just as they reached here. No cause is
assigned whatever for the tragedy other
than about one year ago Robert Harris
was married to Miss Neismith a daughter
of Henry Neismith. and after living to-
gether nearly a year separated and the
young wife is suing her husband for di-
voree and ailmony. The Harrises are not
ed for their desperate character and have
led bad life, having frequently been ar
Taigned before the court of the state for
crime. Both parties are at large, but a
posse Is in hot pursuit, and If they are
caught lynching may be the result.
