I. SHOT TO DEATH.
D Parder Defends Himself and His
pme William j. Harley Killed
Near Har1eyville.

- state. b.. 't". g Jt - ~, n + ..E'Eh
George, Jan. 20.-The much
ked Of William J. Harley of Har-
i RSille this county, was killed by
C.. Parler last night at Harley
LIE. Harley went to Parley's house
nd was going into the front door.
4hreatening to kill and drag Parler
out Of the house. Parler saw and
heard him coming, and asked Harley
several times not to come into the
Ehouse but Harley walked up the
ssteps toward the front door with
double barrel shot gun in his hand,
and when he had reached the top of
the steps and was crossing the porch
i'm the direction Of the front door
s.Parlcr saw that there was nothing
else to be done for his safety and for
athe protection of his family and his
home. He fired at Harley, hitting
him in the right side, Harley turn
led slightly and fell down the steps
and died instantly.
A AzaS This is the same W. J. Harley who
has, been terrorizing this community
and especially the vicinity Of Harley
Hville, for the past several years. He
twas tried about year ago at the
Nsessions court Of this county for stab
bing Richard Weeks, a young white
man, on the court house grounds here
while court was in session. He was
arrested for this, but escaped and
tried in his absence and found guilty
and at the time of his death a sealed
sentence awaited him in the clerk of
court s Office here.
On the AFTERNOON that Harley was
killed it is said that he was walking
up and down the town of Harleyvillc,
cursing and shooting off firearms
along the streets, and the whole COM
munity was in state Of great fear
and excitement.
Coroner Kizer was summoned last
night and held an inquest over the
a. body Of Harley, the jury returning a
verdict that he came to his death by
a gun shot wound in the hands of G..
G. Parlcr.
1t was only about an hour before
the killing that Harley came mp to
peaceable negro in a store at Harley
vile and pulled his pistol and made
the negro stand still while he beat
him numerically over the head with
the handle of the pistol, and when
the negro begged for mercy Harley
shot at the negro and missed him only
a short distance, and almost hitting
the proprietor Of the store and his
little nephew,
Harley was regarded as an all
round bad man, was single and about
36 years old.
The unanimous verdict of all who
have KNOWLEDGE Of this tragedy is
that Parler did the only thing that
he could have done to protect himself,
his family and his premises: in fact.
had Parler not acted when he dill and
as he did Harley would have killed
him in his own house and in the pres
ence Of his family.
Parler surrendered himself to Shcr-
iff Kizer and is no. safe under ar
rest. Parler has retained Messrs. r.
j. Dennis and NJ. S. Connor to de-
fend him.

 VICTIM MAY DIE

Solomon Humphrey, a negro em- ployed as a farm hand on the Gould plantation at Noble Lake. was brought to this city this morning by Deputy Sheriff Clayton Gould and jailed on a charge of assault to kill.

Youngs skull was bursted and his condition today is critical The trou- ble took place last night at Young's home. Humphreys wife was the cause of it.

that people in Senator Ankeny's own

This was the statement which
