HOST MURDERED GUESTS,
Aountaineor Kills Two Mon who war.
sponding the Night With Him.

"'"ineer hilis Two Mon Who wor
Spending the Night With Him.
The details of boody crime, b,
which one man was killed and an
other man and a woman fatally IN
Jured Sunday night, reaches her
: from a remote mountain section
of Ashe county N. @. II
Criok Davis was visited by tive
former friends, Alfred Bakor anc
his son, Levi, who lived near Chill
hawie, Va. They had stopped at
his house Oh their way to see their
relatives in that section. Davis
seemed very hospitable and insls>
ted on their spending the night
with him. They consented. The
two visitors occupied the same
bed. Davis and his wife occupied
another bed close by, possibly in
the same room.
Hardly had they retired when
Mrs. Davis heard noise and on
looking toward where the Barkers
sleeping saw her husband with an Ak
cutting the Barkers to pieces. She
sprang out of the bod and tried to
keep her husband from killing the
old man, Alfred.
Immediately Davis gave her two
blows that sent her to the floor.
Levi, had been killed by the first
blow,whlch had split his head open
as clean as one splits a hogs head
in slaughtering.
Alfred had been saved apparent
Lly BY Mrs. Dayis, as he had time to
crawl out ct TS bed and into a
field of rye close by. NNeeHx5artheless,
he was bleeding like hog and
will die, having received the axe
up to the hilt in his stomach and
having his right arm cut off.
Alfred says as he lay in the field !
he heard the awful blows that fol-
lowed on the body of Mrs. Davis
and heard her groans grow fainter
and fainter, But the woman Was
not yet killed, and after the ex,
cltement had subsidized Davis took
his wife in the house, washed her
wounds and washed himself.
The little Davis girl, with the
baby in her arms, was the one who
gave the alarm. ,-sho -esoaping for
life at the outset.
Parties just from the scene of
the tragedy say that there~is blood
scattered around like at a slaughter
pen.
No motive can be found for the
deed though many theories have
been advanced. One is that Davis
was insane. Another is that Levi
Barker was once a sweetheart of
his wife and that this visit stirred
jealousy.
1t is claimed that the man has
been mentally unbalanced at times.
1t is said he had once before tried
to kill man with an axe. There
is said to be no ground for ieal-
ousy, as Mrs, Davis was a woman
of fine Christian character.
A physician says she and Alfred
Barker will die. Davis is in iail
at Jefferson,

supt. of Salaries and Allowances in Pos
Omce bepnrtinept on Two Pay Rolls,
1t was discovered lin Washineto
last Thursday that Geo. w. Bea,
ers, while assistant superintend
ent of the division Of salaries an
allowances of the postofice depart
ment,, drew double pay for som
time. This irregularity was prac
ticed with the knowledge and con
sent of Mr.. Castle, auditor for tn,
postoffice department..
The Federal grand jury has in
dlcted August w. Machen, former
ly superintendent of the rural fre,
delivery system, for participation
in a conspiracy to defraud the gov.
ernment. The indictment also in.
cludes the Croft brothers and two
others. .....-.
Edward T.. Kimball, chief clerk
in the Office of the money order
division, has been designated as
temporary superintendent in the
place of James Il. Metcalf, who was
dismissed on the 18th.
Mr.. Bristow's reply to the call
for a report by the postmaster gen.
eral today secs the light. The re-
luotance in giving it out is OK
planned. 1t confirms every charge
made by Mr.. Tulloch. It shows.
too, that Mr.. Tulloch did II 1T wait
until he was a discharged employee
to report the shameful delinquent
cies, but that while yet in offico he

Meanwhile the report of tho
civil service commissioners has
been promulgated, as q separate
and distinct feature of the lnvesti-
cation, confirming every essential
charge made, and leaving the de-
fenders of the regime of crooked
ness and petty freud not leg to
stand upon. Mr.. Tulloch's vindi-
cation is complete.
Former Postmaster General
Smith, who declined to take the
charges seriously. when they we're
originally made, was put to the
necessity at later day of combat
ting the findings of his own 1nspeo-
tors.
"I knew nothing about the con-
noction of Mr.. Metcalf with this
affair of the contract for money
order blanks" said the postmaster
today, "until yesterday
AS soon as I arrived at
my office I sent for Fourth Assis-
tant Postmaster General Bristow
and Assistant Attorney General
Robb and requested them to look
into the matter and get a state.
ment from Mr.. Metcalf. They had
him IN Mr.. Bristow's office for two
hours and secured admissions from
him which corroborate practically
everything stated in the article
published this morning.
"Mr. Metcalf has been in the
postoffice department twenty-one
years. He has been esteemed as
one of the most faithful, painstak-
ing, and loyal men in the service,
but there is no other thing for me

ford, s. G. gave a detailed account
OF the killing Thursday afternoon
of e. L. Calhoun, a negro brick
layer of Greenville, who was a
member of tho construction force
on the new Apalache mills
The affair occurred at Wellford,
and it appears that the circumstan.
COS surrounding the difficulty are
about as follows:
= Mary Wilson and another negro
woman were engaged III a fsticuff, =,
when Calhoun is said to have inter.
ferred in behalf of the unknown
woman.
At the interference of Calhoun
the Wilson woman became much
incensed, and according to the re.
port whipped out pistol and fred
on Calhoun at close range, the ball
taking effect in the vitals and caus-
ing death almost instantly.
The affair occurred in Spartan.
burg county, and, the morning uc.
count said the woman had not
been arrested, but was at her home,
having made no attempt to escape,
as she claims the shooting Of CAL
houn was in self.defence.
