RAY MURDERED
IN STREET ROW
WITH NEGROES

Berle Ray of Paris. Ala, a nephew
of Mr.. and Mrs. 8. A. Julien of 116
South Second street, and we'll known
here. was shot and killed by a negro
at Bolton, Ala, last Friday, and was
buried at Heltonville, Ind, Monday.
The young man with q party Of
friends went to Bolton, which is twen.
ty miles from Paris. to see q show.
Theatrical performances In that sec.
tion are rare and everybody flocks to
them.
Negroes outnumber the whites ten
to one and are very officious.
Every wEite man in that regi-n car
ries a gun, for without 1t his life would
not be safe for a moment, for the
towns are small and are hundreds Of
miles away from any large cities.
When Ray and his friends arrived
in Bolton they found the town crowd
ed and as they were early, went out
for a stroll. A hurley negro deliber.
ately pushed Ray off the sidewalk and
the young man reached for his revol'
yer. The negro went on for few
steps and then suddenly turned and
shot Ray through the body, and then
made his escape.
Raw was taken to q drug store and
given every attention. but he was ia
tally wounded and died on Sunday
morning.
After the shooting all thoughts OF
seeing the show were abandoned. by
the whites and they formed q posse
and started out after the assassin. but
50 far as known he has not yet been
captured.

quote from Ezekiel something which
has nothing to do with the situation.
Bryan asserted 1t was all right for
former president Roosevelt to use
passages from the Bible because he

Dead Lock Existed.


There seemed to be no possible
chance Of the jurymen ever coming to
a verdict Judge Sparks questioned
them individually ~ they. were called
to their seats shortly before noon and
their answers Indicated that it would
be useless to order them to. their
chamber for further deliberation. A
dead lock existed from the first bal.
lot taken shortly after o'clock Mon
day until the last ballot taken at 1880
o'clock this morning. q half hour be-
fore they were discharged.
The first intimation that the Jury
men would disagree and that there
was little chance OF coming to a ver-
dict, was given this morning ~ the
jurymen filed from their room ON the
way to the restaurant Their counte-
nances were set and only two OF them
had the slightest smile AZ they passed
court attaches No definite decision
that a deadlock existed was evident
before 9 o'clock when Bailiff Marley
was called to the jury chamber and
was told that a verdict seemed remote
Even at this time. however. no state.
ment was made by any Of the jurymen
relative to asking for a discharge.
How Rumor Started.
It was rumored on the streets at 3
o'clock that the jury had been formal
ly discharged after the statement had
been made that they could not agree.
The rumor originated In the fact that
Bailiff Markley had informed the At
torneys In the case to communicate
with Special Judge Sparks Of Rush
vile to determine what would be done
In case of . disagreement.
As soon n Judge Sparks arrived and
was informed that the jury could not
reach verdict, he immediately called
the jurymen In and questioned them.
rs there any possibility Of you gen.
tlemen arriving at a verdict by further
deliberation?" asked Judge Sparks.
There IL no possibility whatever"
replied Foreman Ballenger.
Each juryman then answered that
they were hopelessly split with no
chance Of arriving at a verdict
Under present conditions. II Is i'm
possible to reach q verdict" said
Charles Shank.
