did not care to drink. man named Dixon,
who was also sitting in the rear of the sa-
loon, thought that Wilson was reckoning 20
him and left his seat and came to the bar.
He is said to have been drinking heavily
and asked Wilson what he wanted. Wilson
told him that he called friend who had
declined to drink with him. Dixon replied
by calling Wilson liar. saying that he
had called him. Some angry words fol-
lowed and Wilson pushed Dixon from him.
The man who came in with Wilson, seeing
that a fight was likely to occur, showed
the men apart. At this juncture a young
man who had been sitting near the table
rushed to the front and, grabbing a chair,
walked behind Wilson and struck him a
terrific blow on the head. Up to this time
he had nothing to say and no one in the
saloon knew that he was present He inn
mediately made his escape out of the back
door and has SO far eluded the police.
AS soon as the message came from st.
Vincents hospital that Wilson was dead
the police began a vigorous search for the
slayer. He was described as a young man
about q years of age, fair complexion and
of uncouth appearance. He was habitue
of saloons and has frequently been seen in
company with tough gamblers. Though
the police had seen him several times no
one knew his name. They know him by
sight however. and the city will be thor
oughIy searched. Captain Weir said last
night that every freight and passenger
train going out of Birmingham would be
watched and if the man attempted to leave
town he would be caught.
White Wilson was a printer and at the
time of his death was employed at Roberts
& Sons He was an orderly disposed man
and bSfore this had never been known to
engage in brawl. He was unmarried but
has relatives living in Bowling Green, KY,
from which place he came to Birmingham.
He was a member of Typographical Union
No. 1O4 of this city and was held in high
esteem by his fellow workmen.
