NEGRO. CAUGHT
IN TURT0N HOME
MULATTo CHARGED WITH BUR-
GLARY ARRESTED AFTER SEN
SATIONAL ATTEMPT At ROB-
Berry IN HOME OF GEORGE W..
TURTON EARLY THIS MORNING.

After a sensational attempt to com
nit burglary, a young mulatto was
arrested by Officers Anderson, Frank
and McCurdy on Spring street. He
was a few moments previous fired
upon by Mr.. George W. Turton, Jr,
in the home of George w. Turton, Sr,
on Spring street, before l o'clock. The
presence of the negro in the house
was discovered by Mr.. Turton. He
turned on the light and fastened to
his sons room. The negro was seen
in the hall and Mr. Turton fired on
him, but without effect. The negro
by breaking down a door, succeeded
in making his escape. Hearing the
shot, the trio of officers, who hap
pened to be in the neighborhood
fastened toward the sound and met
the fleeing negro. He was placed
under arrest and sent to the city Jail.

THODOx CHURCH BODY OF
GEO. HEMCOCAL WILL BE LAID
TO REST IN ST. JOHNS GENE

possibly in this part of the south than
that to be held in the Greek church

the last rites according to the Greek
orthodox church will be said over the
body of George Hemcocal. He was
killed last Wednesday night by a ne
gro boy giving his name as Willie
Brooks, while in his store at Peter
son station.
Hemcocal was we'll known and pop
ular. among his fellow countrymen in
Pensacola and his death, coming as it
did, has attracted much local interest.
The Greek Society of this city took
charge of all arrangements and will
be in charge of this afternoons OBJ
sequies. A priest Of the Orthodox
faith from Birmingham will arrive to-
day to conduct the services and it is
expected that practically every Greek
in the city will be present to pay re-
spect to the memory of the deceased.
Hemcocal is survived by two broth
ers of this city. Crys and John
Hemcocal. Both are almost pros
trated with grief, it is said. Follow
ing the services at the church the
body will be conveyed to St. Johns
cemetery and there it will be inferred.

How to Become an Expert Wing
Shooter.

"Gun-pointing is the secret Of wing.
shooting says Charles Askins, in the
December Outing. He says:
The old manner of shooting
shotgun was to close one eye and
sauint low over the breech, theoret-
cally never pulling trigger until the
front bead was accurately aligned
upon the target. Many an old veteran
still speaks learnedly of drawing a
bead on the game.
The one eye method of sighting
a shotgun is not altogether absolefe
yet. Many veteran sportsman haa
shot long and successfully in this
way, and will not change; neither l.
there good reason why he should. for
1t is hard to teach an old dog new
tricks. nor does he learn them quite
so well as he knew the old. Never
theless it is true that few or no ex.
pert shots ever close an eye in aiming
to-day, though some of them in effec.
sight exactly the same as though they
did
"One eye sighting is distinctly slow,
and is not adapted to killing game
that in the nature of it's flight is either
imperfectly outlined or rapidly gets
beyond range.
''Gun-pointing was the recognized
manner of aiming of all our Western
bad men, and gun-fghters whose gun
play was entirely too rapid to be d.
rected by any description of gun

shooting a pistol in the old Yves.
tern way consisted simply in extend
ing the hand quickly in the direction
Of the target and pulling on thc
instant. This one-hand gun-pointing
is the most natural method and the
easiest to acquire because we have
been at it good many years before
we ever gripped gun.
Shooting shotgun differs from il
only in that the piece is pointed witt,
both hands in place of one. and while
the method is more difficult to acquire
it is steadier and more reliable. be-
cause with the butt of the weapon at
the shoulder and both hands holding

Ed

The police are searching for the re-
volver used by Willie Brooks, the ne
gro who killed George Hemcocal, bTt
thus far they have been unable to
find it, though officers put in several
hours yesterday searching for the
weapon.
Brooks claimed in his confession
that he had sold the revolver after he
had shot the Greek, but later to a
prisoner in the county Jail he said
that he had thrown it away as OFF,
GERS Simpson and McCurdy approach
ed him Friday morning. The officers
searched the ground where the cap
ture was made, but were unable to To-
cate the weapon.
It is the belief that wherever the
negro spent the night prior to his
capture that he left the revolver, and
will consequently continue the
search.
