mother Of the suspected young man.
, Justice Crutchfield yesterday after
noon acquitted Russell Walker of the
murder of his father, Armistead
Walker
Armistead Walker was shot and i'm
stantly killed on the back porch Of
his home on Sunday night, June 20,
about $40 o'clock.
Both the father and son had been
looking for a supposed burglar on the
roof of the house. A short while
later. while the mother sat on the
front porch a pistol shot resounded
through the house and Russell walk
or, the son, ran to the front of the
house and exclaimed: II got him."
Got whom?" asked the mather.
The man." was the reply.
Then the mother and the son rush
ed up the stairs to the second floor,
upon the back porch Of which lay the
body of the man"
1t was dark: there was no light.
The son looked out through the screen
door and said: IT'S father"
Then search for matches was had.
and a light finally made.s 1t was true
that 1t was the elder Walker. He
bore the fatal wound In his temple.
The police detectives got busy on
the case and worked up what they be-
lieved would prove sufficient evidence
to prove that the son shot his father
purposeiy. It was shown that father
and son had engaged In a number OF
arguments" and that the best OF feel

surance policies for accident were In
effect. two, 1t was stated. for $1,000
each. The insurance companies had
doubts as to the incidents leading UP
to the homicide. The police did the
best they could. There seemed to
have been no motive. so far as Justice
Crutchfeld could see. and after the
straightforward recital Of the in
cidents In connection with the shoot
ing by Maggie Walker. the son was
discharged.
It Is understood that the police de-
tectives detailed on tho case are not
at all satisfied with the Eituation. and
desired the matter fully threshed out
by the grand jury.
