SHOT IN COLD BLOOD.
Mr.. Peter Hearon Shot Without Warning
BY ]. T. Cannon. Dies from Effect
Of His Wounds

that his assailant gives for the
shooting is flimsy and far fetched.
While Cannon was in the employ
of the Mobile and Ohio railroad
as section foreman he had occa-
sion to ship some household goo s
over the line, and because there
was some delay in sending them
forward his wife went TO the
freight office and began to up
braid the men in charge for their
alleged carelessness. Mr.. Hear
on, who was then check clerk in
the local freight Office of the Mo-
bile and Ohio, of course came in
for his full share of the abuse,
and it is here that it is claimed
that he insulted Mrs. Cannon by
answering her IN the same man
ner in which she spoke to him.
No one, however, who knew Mr..
Hearon and who remembers his
kind and gentle manners will for
an instant believe that he would
even under the most trying cir
cumstances offer an insult 70 q
lady. and therefore no credence
is placed in the story which the
murderer tells.
Cannon was in this city last
Wednesday, and at a very early
hour hour called at Capt. Hear
on's residence and asked if Mr..
Pete Hearon was there. He was
met at the door by Mr.. NJ. ii.
Yerby, Capt. Hearon'e son-in-
low, who told him that the man
whom he sought was not there,
but was in Greenwood. Upon re-
ceiving this information Cannon
left the premises, bat remained
in Columbus all that day, going
to Greenwood over the Southern
railway that Afternoon. The train
was late in reaching Greenwood
and Cannon did not get to see
Mr.. Hearon that night, but early
next morning sought him out and
shot him down almost without
any warning. Cannon gave him
self up and was placed in jail at
Greenwood, stating to the officers
that be had committed the deed
because Hearon had insulted his
wife.
Gannon's wife passed through
Columbus Friday afternoon en-
route to Greenwood and while on
the Mobile and Ohio stated that
Mr.. Heqron had insulted her last
July about the shipment of her
which bears out the
statement made above.
If these facts are true, and no
one doubts them, it is = case of /
cold blooded, premeditated MUIR
Ter and Cannon should be given /
4 speedy trial and be made to I
suffer the death penalty. /

Greenwood Saturday morning to I

scution.

Mr.. Peter Hearon died at the
home Of his parents, Capt. and
Mrs. r. G. Hearon, in this city
about two O'Clock Friday morn
ing, his death resulting from
wounds inflicted by J. T. Gan
non, a former mploye of the
Mobile & Ohio railroad company
at this place, who killed his VIC
tim just as he was coming out OF
the office of the Southern rail-
way in Greenwood Thursday
morning. Cannon accosted the
doomed man and asked:
SIS your name Pete Hearon ?"
SIT is," replied Mr.. Hearon.
Without further ado Cannon
began firing, and two balls from
his revolver struck his victim.
The first shot took effect in the
breast, and just as Mr.. Hearon
started TO turn round Cannon
fired again, the second shot en-
tering his right shoulder.
The shooting occurred just a
few moments before the east
bound passenger train on the
Southern railway was due to ar
rive at Greenwood, and upon the
arrival of the train Mr.. Hearon
was carried aboard and brought
to the home of his parents in this
city. Although very weak when
he arrived here he was perfectly
conscious, and gave 3 coherent
account Of the shooting, stating
that be was shot down without
warning and without cause by q
man whom he had never seen be-
fore and who was therefore a to-
tai stranger to him.
MIR. Hearon was brought to this
city by DR.. Campbe |, of Green
wood, and upon arrival here was
placed in charge of DR.. John E.
Davis. The patient was kept
alive for some time by the use of
artificial stimulants but the ply
knew from the first that
there was no hope for recovery,
as either wound would have been
to prodoce death, which
finally came about two o'clock
Friday morning.
The funeral occurred at the
family residence at three o'clock
Friday afternoon, being conduct
ed by Rev. A. j. Miller, pastor of
the First Baptist church. Mr..
Hearon had many friends in Co
Iumbus and the funeral was
largely attended, many of those
present bringing beautiful floral

BRITISH TRADE AGENT
WARNS MANUFACTURERS
America on Verge of 0verprOduction,
and Surplus Will Be Shipped
at Reduced Prices"

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The official board OF
trade journal publishes a report from
Mr.. Bell. British commercial agent in
the United States, warning manufacture
ers here that it is inevitable that there
viii be overproduction in the United
States shortly. when the Americans will
export their surplus production at a
reduced price in order to keep their
works running and maintain prices in
the home market.
He says that everything points to the
probability of the dumping process being
carried out to greater extent than
hitherto.
He emphasizes the success of the
Americans in obtaining trade in the
British possessions, remarhng that
although the gross exports from the
United States fell off 46 per cent IN
1902, the exports TO the British colonies
increased 17.6, while the exports OF
Great Britain TO her colonies increased
only IS per cent.
Prominence is given the report by the
tan q reform newspapers. which print II
as a strong argument in favor of pro
lection.
