whom the investigation of the killing had
been entrusted, had been informed by
relatives of the dead man that Ill feel
ing had existed between him and Garvin
and that the latter had expressed his in
tention of returning to Atlanta. This In
formation was the only definite basis of
his arrest
Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner went to
Chattanooga Sunday night and returned
with Garvin shortly before noon Monday.
In less than an hour Garvin was taken
before Justice OF the Peace Jackson be-
ing represented by Attorney John w.
absolute alibi.
Establishes AIibi
Deputy Sheriff Miner testified that in
Chattanooga he learned from a number
of different persons that Garvin had been
in that city continuously since last We'd
nesday and that he was there the hour
Mr. Buck was killed in Atlanta. Among
those who affirmed this, said the deputy,
were the landlady of the boarding house
where Garvin roomed at 1920 Main street
Chattanooga, a barber who had shaved
him about o'clock Saturday night ana
also a man who had slept with him thar
night.
William Buck and Daniel Garvin mar
ried sisters. 1t was stated by members
OF the family that the two men had not
been on good terms. When his trial was
over, however. Garvin declared that he
would remain here and do what he could
to discover and bring TO justice the slayer
of his sisters husband. Since last Octo-
Der, he said, he has been In Chattanoo-
ga. He came back to Atlanta to spend
the Christmas holidays with his wife and
kinspeople Wednesday he returned to
Chattanooga to go into the employ of the

CorOner's Verdict
At the coroner's inquest held over the
remains of william Buck Sunday after
noon, the jury returned verdict of death
at the hands of an unknown assailant.

that he learned from Mrs. Lon Echols
who lives on Hampton st. near the scene
of the shooting that she heard the four
shots Saturday night and running to her
door saw the figure of man of low stat
ure disappearing down the street.
An inquest was held Sunday over the re-
mains, at which the name of Garvin was
mentioned prominently. but the evidence
introduced was not held sufficient to re-
suit in a formal charge being made
against him. The verdict was, death from
an unknown assailant.
Four Shots Fired

brought out at the trial Deputy Sheriff
