BLOODY MURDER in ST. JOHNS
COUNTY


! The st. Augustine Record of March
9th contains the following account O.
a bloody murder at Espanola, in st
Johns county. The Record says:
j Murdered in cold blood while in
the performance of his duty as an off
Icer of the law, Deputy Sheriff Guy
j White was yesterday evening the vic
i tim of one of the most deplorable
tragedies recorded in the history OF
st. Johns county. Almost at the same
moment Abe Snyder, well known in
st. Augustine, was killed while en-.
deavoring to assist the deputy sheriff
in the performance of his duty. The
guilt for the double crime is laid by
the verdict of the coronor's jury upon
Bascom Carlton, a Bradford county
man. Bad booze is at the bottom of
| the trouble.
Dan and Marion Carlton and Mac
Burnie, charged with being accesso-
ries to the crime, were captured dur
ing the night by Sheriff Joe Perry and
a posse, and search is continuing to-
day for Bascom Carlton, charged with
the actual commission of the double
crime.
First news of the murder reached
st. Augustine where Sheriff Perry re-

scene and to bring two collins
According to the details learned by
Sheriff Perry it seems that the young
men, who are from Bradford county,
went to Hastings Saturday night, and
some of them tanked up on bad booze.
They proceeded to raise cain in the
potato town, and Deputy Sheriff Chas.
Greene, who is police officer at Has
tings, arrested them for violating the
city ordinances. They spent the night
in jail, and yesterday morning they
were bailed out by some one, accord
ing to the story told the sheriff. They
are alleged then to have remained
about Hastings all day in an effort to
get the life of Deputy Greene for ar
resting them. At least the sheriff was
so informed.
They finally took the evening
train for Espanola and proceeded to
raise a trough house" on the train.
Windows were smashed and other
damage done.
stated that Deputy White learned of
the trouble on the train and that he
placed the four under arrest and took
them to the Jail. Mr.. Snyder and a
Mr. Norman were assisting him.
When they reached the little Jail Dep
uty White went inside and started to
search the men. He took pistol
from one, but as he turned to search
another, Bascom Carlton is alleged to
have drawn his gun as quick as light
ming and to have fired at White, the
bullet striking his heart and causing
death almost instantly.
"The man is then alleged to have
swung around and fired at Snyder, the
bullet striking him at almost the
same point, but passing nearer the
back than the one fired at White.
Snyder staggered to the door before
he fell to the earth dead. Mr. Norman

pistol held by the murderer but was

woods"

cry way worthy Of the man and his
high office and further confirmed his
reputation for ability, force and mag
netism: and a most valuable addition
to the citizenship of his new state.
Bishop Gum spoke feelingly of the
welcome and reception he had receiv-
ed in Hattiesburg, and pledged HIM
self to contribute what he could to
the upbuilding of the state along
lines industrial, educational and the
uplift of humanity in general.
The bishop said he was proud to
be Mississippian, first because he
was an American. and the American
man and woman were the greatest
citizens in the world; they enjoyed
that liberty and freedom of thought,
religion and speech for which their
ancestors had left the mother coun-
tries. that the American man was
greater than any king, the American
woman greater than a queen; the one
was a king in his own right, and the
other received that love and adora-
ton denied to queens: and second he
was proud to be a Mississippian. a
citizen of one of the greatest states
in the great southland and a state in
the veins of whose people runs the
most purely American blood. The
beautiful sentiments expressed in the
Bishops talk met with the most lib
eral response, II possible making
more pronounced the welcome given
him.
