TWO MEN KILLED OVER
SUNDAY BASEBALL DISPUTE

Palatka, Sept. S.-Two men are
dead and their alleged slayer ia In
Jail in Palatka as the result of a
disagreement over Sunday base
ball game. Tom Wright is the sur
vivor OF the three principals in the
tragedy. The dead are Jesse Turner
and his son, Roy Turner. The crime
was committed In st. Johns county,
about two miles southeast of San
Matoe, Sunday afternoon about
o'clock.
According to the account of the
affair reported to be given by Mr..
Wright, he was coming from his
farm and met the Turner's on the
road. He was in a buggy and the
other two were in a wagon He says
Roy Turner attacked him after
sharp discussion over a baseball
game, and that the young mans ia
ther Joined in the attack, whereupon
he defended himself by shooting
them. He subsequently surrendered
to Deputy Sheriff Minton of Putnam
county. and was taken to Palatka
and placed in Jail
Supplementary statements from
other sources are to the effect that
Wright objected to Sunday baseball
and protested against the game be-
ing played near his property. Two
balls that fell on his land were ap-
propriated by him and led to i'll
feeling. When he met Mr.. Turner
and his son on the road the trio
became involved in a heated dispute
over the right of Wright's action in
keeping the balls. and the tragedy
followed.
There were no witnesses to the
quarrel, and the only available
statement is that given by Mr..
Wright, However, circumstantial
evidence may play an important part
in the investigation, as the officers.
who went to the scene, say that
neither of the Turner's were armed,
the only weapon (if 1t can be called
suchl was a pocketknife found in
the pocket of Roy Turner. A pool
oil blood in the Turner wagon is in
terpreted to mean that he was In
the vehicle when shot, and that this
fact is not consistent with wright's
statement that Jesse Turner had
Joined in the attach on him.

the regulars were much better shots
than the business men, and their
thin lines were permitted to advance
further and further, to the chagrin
OF the citizen soldiers. Lying down
on ones stomach and firing a servic,
rifle is not the easiest thing on earth,
and it is especially hard for men of
middle age 1t was found, however,
that the enthusiasm and daring au-
dacity of the patriots made up for
their lack of skill. The second camp
will benefit much by the experience
of the first, and the soldiers to be
turned out in the next thirty days
should be of superior caliber

Judge Phillips in the municipal
court this morning and made his
statement of the affair The young
man quietly related the circum-
stances of the accident and expCsss-
cd his sorrow that it had occurred
He said that he did everything in
his power to avert it, acting on his
best judgment at the time, and that
he had determined he would never
drive an automible again on the
streets of Miami.
Judge Phillips stated that If driv-
ers of automobiles would adhere TO
the rules of the road, keep to the
right, drive behind pedestrian
crossing the streets and always
think for those who are incapable
OF thinking, there would be no such
accidents. In this case he said that
any punishment the city might in
flict upon the young chauffeur would
rot add to the lesson which the
catastrophe had taught him, and as
Green had promised not to drive an.
ether car on the streets of the city
he would parole him on that condi-
tion.
