COMES FROM NORTH ID GET REVENGE Tom Pappos Kills Pete Pappos
 on Avenue B
 FOUND MAN IN HIS HOME Tom Pappos Claims Pete Had coerced Wife to Run Away With Him.
 Greeks Were Not zs
 Related. al
FOUND MAN IN HIS HOME

Pete Pappos was shot and instantly killed by Tom Pappos about 1O:so o'clock yesterday morning in the soft drink stand at Avenue and Twenty-irst street The shooting followed the returning home of Tom Pappos from Chicago to find Pete Pappos having usurped his place in his nome. Both men are Greeks but not re- lated.
 In order to shoot his victim Tom Pan pos leaned over the shoulder of Gus Ect5- ! banus, behind whom Pete Pappos was hiding, and sent three bullets into the latter's body. Pete Pappos sank to the floor ifeless, while Tom Pappos ran out of the place and attempted to hide in an alley. He was captured. however, by City Detectives Brown and Burke a few min utes afterward
 Tom Pappos had been in Chicaro for about month, having gone there from Birmingham. According to his statement of the affair he received letters telling him of Pete Pappos actions, and he de- cided to come back to Birmingham and investigate. He discovered that Pete was making preparations to take Mrs Pappos away from Birmingham with him and stated that Mrs. Pappos was afraid If she did not accompany him that he would kill her.
 When Tom Pappos reached his home on the third floor of the building at Ave-
 nue B and Twenty-first street he found
 Pete Pappos there and quarrel started Pete Pappos ran down the steps into the
 soft drink stand and yelling, Don't let
 him kill me-" lodged behind Gus Ne i banus It is also said that Pete Pappos ] had revolver in his hand.
 1 Mrs. Pappos, 1t is said, made a state ment to the officers that her husband and herself had been separated, and that he had become jealous Tom Pappos de- nies that they had separated but stated that his wife was afraid of Pete Pappos The latter had a wife in the old country He is also survived by a brother here. When the two men entered the soft drink stand Nebanus and others tried to prevent Tom Pappos from firing, but with the fury of mad man he brushed their arms away and leaning over Nebanus i body fired three shots. The affair hap pened so quickly that the men in the place could hardly realize what was hap pering for a moment. Some of the men state that Pete Pappos also had re- volVer.

TAXES LIFE BEFORE HIS WIFE AND CHILD Charles I. Maxey Sends Bullet
 Through Brain NO REASON IS KNOWN Rash Man Came to Birmingham from Selma Seventeen Years Ago and Stood Well-Wife Faint
 ed Three Times.
NO REASON IS KNOWN

Apparently without any cause, Charles Taylor Maxey sent bullet into his brai6 and ended his life about 5:S5 o'clock yes terday morning at his residence. 31S North Twenty-third street. The rash act was committed in the presence of his wife and a daughter. Miss Marguerite Maxey, while another S-year-old daughter. Elma, was asleep in the room. Death was instantaneous.
 Members of the family stated that the cause for the deed was unknown to them. Their account of the affair was that his wife and daughter were just arising when Maxey entered their room, and without saying a word placed re- volver to his head. Miss Maxey sprang toward him and caught his hand. but he brushed her back and before she he fired the fatal bullet
 Mrs Maxey sank to the floor in a faint, remaining unconscious for a long while. When she was finally brought to it was only a moment or two until she fainted again She tainted three times duKng the morning and 1t was necessary to have physicians with her. Miss Maxey was almost completely prostrated
 MT. Maxey had resided in Birming- ham for II years, coming here from Selma and stood well. During his res idence here he was connected with the Louisville and Nashville railroad as blacksmith, holding this position at the time of his death. No cause for the acs can be given by the members of his fam fly, who state that he had been in good health and they knew of nothing that had been worrying him, The deed was committed just as the family was arising for the day and his wife and daughter hadn't the slightest suspicion of his in- tentions.
 He was the father of 10 children, all of whom are now living, and six of whom lived with him. They are B. T. and C. H. Maxey of Birmingham, W. A. Maxey of Bessemer. Misses Marguerite, Lillian Elma and Ethel Maxey of Birmingham Mrs. P. L. Plemons of Ensley, Mrs NJ J Powell of Montgomery and Mrs Kate Deuel of Knoxville.
 F Funeral services will be held at the residence at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon and interment will be in Elmwood ceme- tery
