PROMINENT DOCTOR
Of ANDERSON SHOT
DR. L. o. M'CALLA INSTANTLY
KILLED BY FEASTER JONES
HIS NEPHEW.

enuerSOn, OcC. S.--Dr. IaWreHCe
Orr McCalla, a prominent resident OF
Starr was shot and instantly killed
early this morning by his nephew, F,
L Jones. The killing took place in
a garage owned by DR.. McCalla, and
Mr. Jones after the shooting went
home and telephoned the county au-
tholitie of what he had done.
The motive which prompted Mr..
Jones in this rash act is unknown
His attorney statefthis morning that
Mr.. Jones had no statement to make.
:tat only one side of the affair is
kl.ovn. The shooting took place at
$50 o'clock, the only witnesses to the
scenes being two negro hands who
we're at work in the yard. One of
these men was standing within few
feet of DR.. McCalla when he was
shot.
The town of Starr was greatly eX-
cited by the event and there was a
large crowd of people about the place
al. morning. After a short investiga-
tion made by the deputy sheriff and
tEe coroner, an inquest was keld. Sew
eral of the negroes about the place
were cross examined by newspaper
mer before the inquest and other SER
waits about the place were examined
but nothing other than the mere de-
tails of the killing could be learned.
The facts as they were brought out
both by individual questioning and by
the inquest show that DR.. McCalla
had just come from the station at
Starr and had driven to his home in
an open buggy. He had gone into
the garage to speak to Red Jones, a
regro hand, when Mr.. Forester
Jones came to the house. He entered
the garage and the negro backed the
car out. While he was in the auto
mobile, Mr.. McCalla called to him
and he went to his side. Then it was
that Mr.. Jones fired the first shot.
Al; three were practically inside the
shed when the first shot was fired.
The doctor took two steps backward
and fell on his back. Jones walked
out past him and shot at the pros
trate man the second time. He shot
rs he was just above the man, for the
powder burns on the dead mans
face were very plain. The bullet en-
tered the forehead just above the
right eyebrow, and penetrated the
skull, coming out on the other side of
the head. Mr.. Jones then walked to
hi, own home.
When the coroner arrived at the
scene, he made a short investigation
of things, and waited on the solicitor
to come to the scene. Preparations
were made for an inquest and the fol-
lowing were drawn as the coroner's
jury: J. A. Lofts, foreman, Robert
Adams. j. T. Hayes, J. T. Gray, Ira
+. York, and Reaves Chamblee.
These gentlemen listened to the
evidence and returned verdict to
the fleet that DR.. L. o. McCalla came
to his death by gunshot wound, the
gun being in the hands of Feaster
zones.
DR.. McCalla was a man of about SO
Years of age. He was born in Eaton.

for several years. He was married
