NEGRO MAN KILLED
 BY DEPUTY BRENTS
ATTEMPTED TO DRAW WEAPON WHILE UNDER ARREST ON SOUTHERN PASSENGER TRAIN MONDAY NIGHT.


 Information reached the sherff's office yesterday morning to the effect that Deputy Sheriff J P. Brents had shot and killed a negro by the named of Hill on a Southern passenger train between Br- mingham and Republic Monday night about Il o'clock.
 From the statement made by Deputy Brents and eye witnesses to the shoot ing, the conductor had asked Brents to go into the negro car and arrest a boisterous negro The conductor warned the deputy of the dangerous character of the negro.
 Deputy Brents then went into the car and ordered the man to throw up his hands, which he promptly did. Later, however, he made an effort to put his hand in his hip pocket. Drawing his pistol from his scabbard. the deputy demanded that the negro again throw up his hands. He did not do so, but instead made an- other effort to draw a weapon, and upon a second command the officer fired twice on the negro with a 45 oalibre Colts re- volver. The negro was killed instantly.
 The shooting Is being carefully investl- gated, but from the information they have received so far, the officers believe the killing was in self-defense.
