Saws She Saw Mrs. Carman.
Miss Hazel Coombs, ono OF the two
women who left the physicians OfTice
before the fatal shot was fired on Tues :.
day night, was the next witness.
Miss CoombS. who is a good looking
young woman, answered the District
Attorneys questions clearly and with
out hesitation. She glanced at Dr.
Carman repeatedly and once or twice
smiled at him.
She said she reached the doctors
Office about o'clock on Tuesday even
ing and let herself in. She saw no
enc satting on the front porch as she
entered. She was in the waiting ROOM
snc thought. about twenty minutes or
half hour. and then went into DR..
Carman's office. There were then in his
waiting room "a lady and a man" whom
she did not know. Her description OF
both showed that she had reference
20 Mrs. Bailey and George Colder.
She saw Mrs. Carman that night
when the latter went into the doctors
Office TO answer the telephone. That
was before DR.. Carman finished his
dinner. She knew Mrs. Carman too
well to mistake her for any one else.
she said She also saw Mrs. Carman
go to the door to open it when man
kTocked.
When she left the Carman house. she
testified. she saw Mrs. Powell sitting
OF the porch Mrs Powell was dressed
IN dark blue or black. Mrs. Carman'S
sister has testified that she was dressed
in white that night, and Mrs. Carman
has testified that she herself wore the
blue skirt and white waist
Hannah Kahn was tho woman who
accompanied Miss Coombs on her visit
If DR.. Carman's Office. She said what
she had to say in a mattcr-of-fact man
rer and hurried away. Her testimony
was regarded as OF no Importance.
Then came the comedy part of the
inquest. II was provided by a team
Of young negroes. Charles Adams. black
as coal. and Percy Smith, a light mu-
iatto. Charles was determined to tell
n sensational story Of seeing a man
Jump n paling fence and dash madly
away from the Carman house right
after the shot was fired. Percy insisted
that no such thing had happened 70 his
knowledge. and he wasn't going 20 get
himself mixed up in this case, anyway.
Comedy Pair Perform.
"Why weren't you on hand TO TESTIFY
when you we're fist called demanded
the Coroner Of Adams. when he took
the stand 81 was powerful busy" said
tho negro.
He then said that he and Smith we're
walking on the Merrick Road OF Tue
day night. whom he heard a noise which
ne thought was a iirccrackcr exploding
Looking in the direction Of the Carran
house he saw some one run from the
house, jump fence back OF it and

FARMER KILLS TENANT
NEAR SHELBYVILLE
Blacksmith Named Barnett Shot and
Killed by Henry Johnson as
Result Of Petty Quarrel

A man named Barnett "a black.
smith, who formerly lived near
pfelffer, was shot and killed last
Saturday near Shelbyville. The
killing was done by Henry John
son, on whose farm Barnett had
been living for some time.
Particulars of the case have not
been learned, but all reports indi-
cate that it is a case of cold. blood
ed murder.
1t seems that a dispute arose
between Barnett and Johnson over
the disposition of some manure on
the place occupied by Barnett. It
is said that Johnson went home
and got his shotgun and went
back to Barnett's house and shot
him down and then went over to
a neighbors's house and told them
he had killed Barnett.
The parties lived just over the
line in Sharp county and Johnson
was taken to Evening Shade and
placed in Jail. Johnson is said to
be a bad man.
Barnett leaves a wife and six
small children.

FIRE
AT BLACK ROCK
Fourteen Frame Buildings in Bust
ness Section of Town are To-
tally Destroyed

Black Rock, April 20. Prom a
fire originating in the city bakery
at 5 o'clock this morning the entire
frame business building portion of
Black Rock, comprising IA build
ings, was destroyed and nearly all
the business buildings on the
south side of Main street were
more or less damaged from the
terrific heat. The fire was aug
mented by a light west wind and
for while it looked like the whole
business section of the town was
doomed, but the heroic efforts of
hundreds of willing fire fighters
together with the use of large
quantities of dynamite, sledges,
axes and improvised battering
rams prevented the fire crossing
the street from two sides. The to
tai loss will amount in the aggre-
gate to about $4,000 with no in
surance with possibly one excep-
ton. With only about four or five
business buildings escaping the
ravageS of the fire entirely and
with the fronts of many burned
out and the glass entirely fallen
out, the town presents a desolate
spectacle.
