STREET CAR MEN SHOT
Details of Bloody and Mysterious
Tragedy Which Took Place sunday
Morning In Jacksonville
1Tfmes-Union. May 80

r F. Sparkman. motorman No 81. ani
IT. c. Smith, conductor No. !. Of the
Jacksonville Traction Co, were muir
ldered last night at a few minutes after
l12 o'clock about seventy-five yards
north of the terminus of the Fairfield
trolley line. corner Of Talleyand avenue
land Marshall street. One bullet pierre
ed the heart of Sparkman, and no other
marks were on the body. \ shot APP
parently from a pistol also entered the
head OF Conductor Smith al a point
just below his left eye. and ne was
dead also beside the roadway when
found Both have been in the employ
of the Jacksonville Traction Company
for upward of half a Year. Sparkman
is married. and is survived by a Wife.
Both have been up to a week ago en-
ployed on the Highway line of the
street railway company They have
been since that time on the Fairfield
line.
The two bodies were found seventy
Ave yards from the car, which was al
a standstil The first to discover the
gruesOme affair was party returning
from an automobile ride. The lights
of the auto fell on the two dead men a
short distance away.
Inc only explanation OF the dIdlF l.
that the two men had trouble with
bosterous passengers, and made the
misjudg gment to follow them out into
Talleyrand avenue for a personal en-
counter Here they were perhaps mur-
dered. The 'controller'' used by Smith
in handling the car was found beside
his body. as though he had carried it
along .as a weapon in an impending
combat.
The automobile party which appear
ed on the scene soon after the two men
were killed telephoned police head
quarters The call officers. Policeman
W. J. Upton, who is regularly on a
beat nearby. and several county officers
patrolled the entire neighborhood in
quick order. but without finding any
clew to the murderer or murdererS.
Early this morning DR.. J. II. Pittman
made an examination of the bodies. He
found that one bullet had entered
Sparkmans head just behind the left
ear, and ranged through. coming out
through the right lower jaw. One
other bullet ranged through his body
Just below the shoulder blade and col
lar bone. This was also fired from the
rear \ bruise was also found over
his left eye.
The cause of Conductor Smiths death
was the one bullet which entered his
head just below the left eye. Both
were dead when Or. Pittman arrived.
His examination was careful from the
standpoint of angles and interpreta-
tions of physical conditions which may
be brought out at future hearings. 1t
is believed that Smith behind
Sparkman and was shot, perhaps. to
avoid him aiding in a battle Of any
sort. After he fell dead the gun is
supposed to have been focused in the
fra ction of a second at Sparkman, the
| first shot entering his back near the
shoulder blade and the last one thru
the back part Of his head.
