FRANK JAY DROPPED HIS MAN
A FORMER TERRELL COUNTIAN
IN A FATAL PISTOL DUEL.
Kills Vim. w. Morris After Being
Wounded in the Shoulder, Shoot
ing Him Four Times.

Frank Jay, a son of the late ]. (.
Jay, who moved from Terrell county
/ to Albany a few years ago, shot VIII
w. Morris to death about 2 o'clock
Saturday morning in the house of a
young woman named Kitty Young.
Morris went to the house, it was
said, with the announced determina-
ton of killing Jay. Bursting in the
door of the room in which he be-
lieved Jay was locked Morris opened
fire. the first bullet from his revolver
striking Jay in the shoulder. Jay
returned the fire, four bullets strik-
ing Morris, two passing through the
heart and producing instant death.
When officers arrived at the house
where the tragedy occurred they be-
held a gruesome scene.
The lifeless body of Morris, fully
dressed, was in a sitting posture on
the floor with his head on his
crossed arms on the bed.
Frank Jay was sitting on lounge,
his night clothes covered with blood.
Carl Duncan, a young man who
was with Jay, was also in his night
clothes and covered with blood.
Jay, the officers say, at once ad-
mitted to them that he had killed
Morris "He tried to kill me-" said
Jay, "and I killed him.
Jays statement was corroborated
by the statements OF Duncan and the
young woman.
Will Washington, hackman, said
he carried Morris to the house a few
He said Morris got out of the hack
with a pistol in his hand, saying he
was going to kill a man or be
killed"
Then, according to the testimony
of Kitty Young, Morris entered the
house, and asking for Jay. said he
was going to kill him. He found
the woman in the rear of the house,
but the door of the front room was
locked. The woman says she begged
Morris not to go into the room, and
told him Jay was not there. Morris
broke open the door and went in,
There was a fierce struggle and five
shots were fired.
Doctor l.. E. WEIGH responded to
the call for a doctor. Finding Morris
dead the physician first attended Jay,
who was shot in the right shoulder
The bullet had ranged downward,
an was taken out above the elbow.
The officers, after Jays wound has
been dressed, arrested both Jay and
Duncan and two women, Kitty Young
and another woman, and carried
them to Jail to await investigation
of the affair During the day the
coroner held an inquest, and the jury
returned verdict of justifiable hon.
eide, after which the four prisoners
were released.
Morris remains were taken to
Americas for burial. He was the
son of Policeman William Morris,
who also met a tragic death two
years ago at the hands of a negro
desperate whose arrest he attempted.
