An unknown negro lies dying at the
Grady hospital as the result of daring
attempt to burglarize the home of Lloyd
T. Melton, employee of the Atlanta Gas
Light company, at 36 Walnut street,
about 4 o'clock Thursday morning.
The negro was shot by Mr.. Melton,
when he attempted to reach back into
his pocket for an open hunting knife,
about six inches in length. Police Ser
geant Luck, who was attracted to the
house by the shot, sent the negro TO the
hospital, but made no arrest, deciding
that Mr.. Melton was perfectly justifable
in shooting the man.
Mr.. Melton. who came to police head
quarters early in the morning to inquire
about the condition of the wounded man,
made the following statement:
81 was awakened about o'clock by a
noise in the back yard. Il went to the
window, and looking out was able to dis
tinguish the form of man moving to-
wards the door in the rear of the house.
IT Immediately slipped back into my
bed room, and taking a shell loaded with
buck shot l placed it in a long-unused

shotgun, and then slipped quietly back to
the rear door and waited.
"A second later l heard the man fum-
bling with the lock of the door. / threw
the door open suddenly, and found the
man on his knees, where he had teen
working with the lock with a skeleton
key.
LAS 1 covered him with the shotgun he
slowly Strengthened up and l saw a
well-built negro man over six feet in
height. I told him that If he attempted
to run l would kill him.
TIE negro didn't attempt to run. but
he threw his coat back and reached into
his pocket. At the same time he made a
motion towards me. Naturally thought
that the man had a revolver, so 1 fired
point blank into his face.
He fell to the ground unconscious. A
few seconds later the police arrived and
we searched him, finding that he was
reaching to his pocket for the knife in
stead of a revolver"
One of the buck shot hit the burglar
squarely in the forehead between the
eyes, another struck him in the left
breast and a third struck his neck One
other shot, which was in the shell, can
not be traced. The negro will die dur
ing the day, according to the statement
of the Grady surgeons.
