date of Feb: 23rd, said:
"James Henry Banks, colored, was
shot ard instantly killed here this.
morning by night yard master, G. A
Hudson, of the Seaboard Air Line.
The negro attacked Mr.. Hudson and
struck him. He then had Hudson in
the collar and pushed him up against a
high embankmeilt at the crossing, neal
the round house. Hudson is small
man and the negro was large bulky
man, who weighed nearly 200 pounds
The yardmaster fired in self-defense
realizing that he would either be killed
or suffer great bodily harm.
s:The coroner's inquest was held to

that Hudson was jus!ifiable in shoot
| ing Banks, and the verdict OF the jur.
was that Mr.. Hudson acted in self.de
