ANOTHER MURDER ADDED
TO HAYWOOU'S LONG LlSi

Canton, N. c., Aug. 23.-R. +.
Smathers, 35 years of age, a proinl-
nent young farmer and large land
owner in this section, was shot and
Instantly killed tonight about {
o'clock by John Waldroup, a tenanE
on one of Mr.. Smathers farm. Inc
weapon used was a shotgun, ano
the shot was fired at close range
The charge tearing away portlol

that he was going for his gun to
put Mr.. Smathers out of business.
With the firing of the fatal shot
panic seems to have overtaken
Waldroup, and he seems to have
sensed the enormity of his crime,
for without waiting for a word of
explanation to a single soul, or
waiting a moment to learn whether
his shot had been fatal or not, he
turned and ran for the mountains.
Waldroup is perfectly familiar with
the wood covered slopes of the
mountains in and around Canton.
and these evidently struck him as
the first best place of safety from
the consequence of his deed
At midnight a coroner's jury,
composed of W. F. Cook, R. H. Sor-
re]ls, John Mann, Joe Christopher,
j. w. Henderson and Charles Moon
ey, held an inquest over the body
Of the murdered man, md brought
in the following verdict:
we, the jury, find that R. F
5mathers came to his death by a
gunshot wound at the hands of
John Waldroup."
j No recommendation in the case
was made by the jury.
Mr.. Smathers was connected with
some of the most prominent fami-
lies in this section. He is a brother
of DR.. Ben C. Smathers, Of Asehville
who recently moved to that city
from Canton, and is connected with
all the Smathers, hundreds in num-
Der, in Western North Carolina. He
leaves a wife and three small child
ren.-Asheville Citizen.
Waldroup was captured at Sun
bust Sunday morning and is now il
!. clstoday awaiting trial.
