two men.
According TO Mrs. walkers
account. she = a married woman
separated from her husband. and
she had taken up with n man
named William Price. She sepa-
rated from him on nc
count of his worthlesSness and
took up with a man named Sea-

from the Federal prison at At
ianta, and had been here with
her for about four weeks.
Price got very Jealous of Sea-
Dolt, and had threatened TO kill
Mrs. Walker OH his account. Last
night about 10 o'clock Mrs.
walker and Scabolt retired about
the same time. The woman was
awakened by hearing a pistol shot.

AFTER looking AROUND Airs.
walker found that a window had
Deen opened and SomeOnc-Drc-

through the window. IL is the
presumption that Price is the man

the foot of the bed was found n
very large iron |;.r-a bar al,u,,t

where lat came from or what n
was doing there. the woman does
not know. Apparently price
brought il with him and struck
SeabOlt with il.
Mrs. Walker has n child bv

mat She and the baby were i'm
Dcd together. 1t is quite a qoung

parently she tells n Strai"htfor-
ward story. She seemed TO be very
much disturbed by the shOotinT
anu the ncighbOrS heard her cry-
ing murder and screaming ont for

the matter.

some rumpus going on before She
woke up.
Seabolt came home last NIGHT

drinking. He retired with his
trousers on. but removed his
SHOES and stockings. IL is proba-

from Mrs. Walkcr-and the pre-

there might have been scme kind
OF "A row before she was awak-
cned. The first she knew of the
AFFAIR was when she heard the
SnOt and saw ScabOIt StaSocr
about the room. What occurred
before that she doesn't know.
MIS-. Walker, as 1 have said.
separated from her husband and
took up with Price and then dis
carded him OH account of his
WOrthlesSncSS. Then she took nm
with ScabOlt. That excited the
JeaIouSy OF Price. and the belief
is that Price did the shooting.
but we haven't got any direct evil
dence against him. 1t is alto
gether presumption. That is Mrs.
Walkers opinion, anyhow"
The house where the shooting
occurred is a small one. hut IL Is
n decent looking place on Allen
Avenue, between Main and Cary
Streets.
