NEGRO KILLED AT
 CHURCH FESTIVAL Shot in the Heart for Stepping
 on Another's Toe ERE THREN" GOT SHOOTER Dock Galloway Is Accused of Shooting and Killing Allen Alexander In
 the New Zealand Church
 On Enon Ridge.
"BRETHREN" GOT SHOOTER

During a social entertainment last night in the New Zealand Baptist church, col- ored, Allen Alexander. a negro, was shot through the heart and killed because he stepped on the toe of Dock Galloway, an- other negro. Galloway was caught by some of the brethren in the church and held under a pair of shotguns until the officers could arrive and carry him to the city jail.
 Dock states that he did not do the kill ing, but that 1t was his brother Will Cal loway. Half dozen witnesses say that Dock Is guilty and that he tried to escape from the people that caught him. The negro takes things easy, laughs and says that he "aln't in no danger"
 According to the story that the negroes tell, Allen Alexander stepped on Docks toe while the latter was "talken sweet" to the formers girl. Dock resented be- ing stepped on, and the two men had quarrel. They exchanged blows several times, and some say that Allen hit Dock with stick, while others say that he used nothing except his fists. Any way, in a minute the pistol was flashed, there was report and Allen dropped dead. Dock and his brother Will both left the church, but Dock was caught in a min ute or two afterwards by two of the "brethren," who held him for the police.
 The New Zealand church Is situated on Enon Ridge, a little west of the Carrie Tuggle school, and the negroes walked Dock to Browns store on North High- lands, where they telephoned for the po- lice. The patrol wagon containing Police men Ray, Richardson and Elledge went to the place and brought the negro to town. A list of half a dozen witnesses was secured, all of whom claim to have seen the shooting.
 Dock gave out a statement last night in which he denies that he was guilty. He claims that Allen knocked him on the head twice with a stick, and that then someone grabbed him and threw him down, and while he was on the floor the pistol was fred He says he thinks his brother did the shooting, as his brother owns a pistol. Dock drives a wagon for the Moody Grocery company, and Allen worked for the "Only" barber shop. Coro- ner Paris was notified and ordered the re- mains removed to the city. He will hold an investigation today.
