Says He Killed Eugene Burke, COL
Ored, for Attempting to Assault
Gertrude Worth.
BROUGHT HERE BY DETECTIVE
AFTER SHOOTING BURKE HE WENT
TO ELIZABETHTOWN.
Barr Said He Had Not Learned to
shoot In the Army for Nothing
A Hearing To-Day.

City Detective Chauncy A. Manning re-
turned to Indianapolis early this morning
with Mede Barr. of Elizabethtown, who is
wanted here on the charge of numbering
Eugene Burke. coIored. Tuesday morning
near the K1ngan packing plant. Burke. II
Is alleged, grossly insulted little Gertrude
worth, thirteen years old, and Barr claims
the negro attempted to stab her with a
knife. After the shooting Barr left Indian
apolis and went to Elizabethtown, where
MS rather lives, and was later located by
Sheriff j. w. Phillips. of Bartholomew
county. and lodged in Jail at Columbus
When asked last night at the police sta
tion If he had killed Eugene Burke, Barr
said:
Sure, l killed him, and II he hadn't
whirled around two or thre time after 7
shot him I'd shot him again. / ought To
have gold medal for it instead of being
locked up here. He went up to this little
girl and said, Hello. babe grabbed hold of
her and attempted to assault her. Some
other fellows and myself heard what he
said and started after him, but thew
weren't game and dropped out before we
got across the railroad bridge. 1 called IN
him to stop. and he drew a revolver ont
of his pocket and fired at me. And then's
when pulled my gun and put a bullet In
him.
INTENDED TO KILL HIM
Il didn't learn shooting In the army for
nothing, and 1 intended to Kill him when I
started after him. And If was on a iurv
and fellow like me was being tried for
shooting an ornery nigger like he was I'd
turn him free and make up a purse of s,oo
for him. I don't think people will blame
me for 1t after they know all about the
case"
why didn't you turn yourself over to the
police instead of running away?" he was
asked
We'll, 1 suppose that is what I should
have done," Barr replied, "but I saw the
nigger fall over the bank and Thought navb.
Ia better go home. When my father read
the story In the paper he told me that 7
answered the description of the fellow who
shot the nigger pretty well, and told him
maybe he'd guessed right All the bows ON
the streets down there were calling me
nigger killer" but I'll get out of this all
right. 1 just engaged Groninger & Gron-
niger to defend me. and they'll look after
me all right"
Barr is a young man Of good appearance.
He takes his crime as a matter of fact af-
fair. and did not talk in braggadocio
manner In telling of the shooting of Burke.
Barr will be given preliminary hearing
this morning in Police Court and will be
bound over to the grand jury
