 June e.

Birmingham. May 2s.-(special.)- )--- Isaac Whitten Walter, a real estate dealer and former paint dealer, aged 62 years, was held up, robbed and shot to dcath within fifty yards of his home in Woodiawn, suburb, about 12:30 o'clock last night. The dead body ly- ing in a pool of blood, was found alongside or the street Dy w. F. Wyatt at 4:30 o'clock this morning. The latter was en route to the city, where he conducts a saloon.
 The authorities were at once notified and every effort Is being made to solve the mystery. Walter came to the city last night to meet some parties on business. The parties did not meet him and at l2:12 a. m.. he boarded the East Lake car for his home. He arrived at Woodlawn in fifteen minutes and left the car with a friend who lived just a door or two from the street crossing :. Walter was in good humor. A little later three shots were heard, one at first and then few seconds later two other shots were fired hastily. No att tention was paid to the shots, it being thought that dog was the target When Walters body was found nearby were two pistols, one of them belong ing to Walters and the other to some one else. The first had one chamber
 
 on his assailant. A small gray felt hat. with the sweat band cut so that no names were left on 1t. was also found nearby. as were pieces of watch chain and the charm. Walters watch and few dollars in money were missing. indicating that robbery was the cause for the murder.
 Much excitement prevailed when it became known that Walter had been held up. robbed and murdered. Sev- eral rQbberies have taken place at Woodlawn in the past few weeks. The citizens immediately offered . reward of $l00 for the arrest of the party who Killed MT. Walter. Sheriff Burgin and deputies went to the scene early and are making every effort to get clue. Coroner Paris swore in jury and the mystery will be sifted to the bottom.
 Walter was few years since in the paint business. He was interested also in a coal mine in Walker County. He came here from South Carolina ard was highly respected. He was. a member of the Episcopal Church at Woodlawa. He leaves a widow and two sons, one grown. The funeral will take place to. morrow morning
 mass meeting was called for to. night at Woodlawn for the purpose of taking steps looking to better protec- tion for the citizens. vigilance com mittee has been suggested in the face of the frequent hold-ups and the climax of a horrible murder. The Coroner is leaving no stone unturned to solve inc mystery.
