Crime Two Years Ago.
'I have not seen the man for four
years" said detective DOwd to a Her
aid reporter, but I knew him his
name is John Grover Pickett not
Grover c. Pickett. In Nashville they
name is also Jack. The murder OF
which Pickett is accused occurred in
September, 1911 I do not remember
the date 1t was about 1880 O'Clock at
night. Pickett drove up to his moth
er's home on South Eighth avenue.
where his wife was staying He was
seated in a buggy and his wife came
out to meet him. They had been haV-
ing family troubles. Pickett, I think,
had been drinking. I believe his wife
had filed divorce proceeding against
him. When his wife walked up to
meet him, Pickett put his arms about
her and then shot her After shooting
her he got out of the buggy and car
ried her into the house Mrs. Pickett
