A FATAL SHOOTING :
AFFRAY IN ALABAMA
Walter Wigginton Murders
Frank Jenkins at Athens.
SLAYER MAKES ESCAPE

Cause of Tragedy Was the Refusal of
WiggintOn to Retract Certain State
ments He Had Made Regarding
Jenkins.
ATHENS, Ala, July 15.-Frank Jen-
Klns was shot and mortally wounded by
Walter Wigginton yesterday afternoon.
The cause of the tragedy was the re.
fusal of Wigginton to retract some
statements he had made about Jenkins,
who was charged with slander and had
but recently been liberated under a
heavy bond. Wigginton was attending
church. when he was called out by Bob
Trlbble, who demanded retraction,
which he refused to make, and went
back to the service. He was admonished
by Trlbble that he would meet crowd
after the services who would SEQ that he
retracted or kill him.
Wlgg1nton started for home before
the services were concluded and was
followed by,.Tribble, his brother and
Jenkins, by whom he was surrounded.
The trio demanded a retraction, but
Wlgglnton refused and drawing his pis-
tol shot Jenkins in the side. He then
put bullet into the thigh of Bob Trib-
BILE and, having exhausted his ammuni-
ton, fled and made his escape. Jenkins
died shortly after the physicians reached
him. He is said to have terrorized the
community and to have threatened to

IF the woman at work should make
answer to the other woman, she might,
perhaps, say WYou never had to scrub
and clean when your back ached so that
it seemed that every movement would
break it in two" It's bad enough for a
woman to suffer. But when she must
suffer and slave at the same time she
reaches the limit of her endurance.
