Jim Walker Killed a Woman in
Tennessee Three Years Ago.
He Claims the Shooting Was Acct
dental and That He Will Come
Clear.
TAKEN AWAY THIS AFTERNOON

Jim Walker, alias VIII Wiley, col
ored, after managing to elude the
authorities for the past three years,
was arrested in Paducah this morn
ing on a charge of murder by Sheriff
0. Barr, of HUMPHREYS county, Ten
nessee, and was taken back this af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock to the scene
of his crime.
Walker was arrested on the stea-
mer Warrenn which is running
in the place of the steamer Dick
Fowler between Paducah and Cairo,
this morning shortly before the boat
was due to pull out and made no re-
sistance. In fact he seemed TO have
expected arrest and willingly agreed
to return to Tennessee without a re-
QUESTION.
The negro is charged with the
murder of a married woman named
Bette Goodloe, alias Richardson, in
August three years ago. He explain
ed to a reporter this morning how the
shooting occurred, saying he was
simply 'pranking" with the pistol.
Walker declares that the shooting
was purely accidental. "The Goodloe
woman, In company with another wo
man and man and myself, were re-
turning home from church." he ex-
planned. IL was walking behind and
finally the Goodloe woman came
back to me and we went into her
house together when we reached her
home. There was a sick woman in
bed and hearing something in the
chicken coop. pulled my gun, went
out to investigate and while prank
ing with the pistol. after | saw there
was nothing the matter with the
chickens. II went off and struck her
In the left breast"
The woman died a short time af-
ter receiving the wound and Walker
left that part of the country. He
admitted that he was told to
leave" and while he did not feel he
was in any danger of being convict
ed of murder. thought it best to get
away. He has been in Mississippi,
Alabama. Louisiana and other south
ern states, and came to Paducah on
ly few months ago. He was located
by Sheriff Barr and when arrested
showed little surprise. He states that
he does not think the authorities
can make a case out against him.
Walker is about 2S years af age,
and the woman he killed was about
80 years old.
The authorities expect 20 prove,
however. that the prisoner was in
fatuated with the woman, and at
tempted to get her to leave with
him and abandon her husband, and
when she refused, shot her.
