Contempt of Court?
/FCsl D.xN

In case of slander a lady had
gone into the witness box in henalf
of the plaintiff, whose counsel was
examining her.
"Now, madam" the lawyer began,
"please repeat the slanderous state
ments made by the defendant on this
occasion, just as you heard them"
"Oh, they arc unfit for any respect
able person to hear," was the en-
rhatic answer.
"Then," said the examiner, coav-
ingly, "suprose you just whisper
them to the judge"

MAN SLAYS GIRL
WHO JILTED HIM
J. l.. McElroy Shoots and Instantly
Kills Miss Roxie Steadman, a IT.
Year-Old Girl-Fires Bullet
Into His Own Head-Four
Shots Fired in Girls
Body.

Mondays Spartanburg JournaD
Miss Roxie Steadman, a 17-year-old
girr was instantly killed this morning
at 11:15 o'clock by J. l.. McElroy, in
a pathway leading in the rear of
Beaumont mills No. 3.
Four bullets of 38 special were
emptied in the body of the young wo-
man and as her slayer retreated h.
fired the remaining bullets at him
self, the bullet lodging in the head,
In the rear of the right ear. He will
probably recover.
McElroy came to town and was ar
rested by Sheriff White in the rear of
the Kennedy library.
No reason of definite nature
could be procured from the earliest
accounts of the killing at 1 O'Clock
this afternoon, but telephone commu-
nications with parties near the
scene of the tragedy intimates that
the killing was the result of a love
quarrel. 1t is asserted that the man
had been Tilted by the woman re-
Gently, and that he was engaged
thereby. One shot was fired after
the body fell to the ground. This
shot, it is said, entered the woman's
head.
There were two or possibly more
eye witnesses to the affair. Some
heard the bullets and rushed to the
scene of the shooting, but so far as
can be ascertained no one reached
the woman before life was extinct.
The number of shots entering the
body had not been ascertained this
afternoon.
New Residents Beaumont
The Steadman girl with her moth
er, it is reported came to Beaumont
mills from the Clifton mills three
weeks ago. 1t is reported that Nc
Elroy came to Beaumont village,
as an operative in the card rooms,
shortly after from the same place. 1t
is supposed that the love affair was
of recent origin, since it is asserted
that McElroy had only been at
Clifton for few months. He came
it is stated from North Carolina.
Very little is known of either of the
principles in the affair by the opera
tives of the Beaumont mills who
were interviewed this afternoon
SioICly dlCeT IIle man was arrested.
Many of them, aroused over the af-
fair came to Sheriff Whites office
and pledged their support in helping
to apprehend the man. Upon arri-
val here they were somewhat sur
prised to be advised that the mar
had already been taken into custody
McElroy Arrested
Less than As minutes after the kill
ing was reported to the sheriff's of
flee, McElroy was arrested by Sher-
iff White near the old Blake house in
the rear of the Kennedy library. That
he did not come to the city to sur
render, is asserted by Sheriff White
in the fact that the man when ar
rested was not coming in the direc-
tion of the city. He appeared to be
trailing across the city at this pom,
was probably making his way to the
west of the city.
Coroner John S. Turner announc-
ed at 1 o'clock this afternoon that
he had secured list of material wit
nesses for the inquest which he will
hold this afternoon.
1t is reported that after the man
was locked up he said that the girl
he killed was not lady.

merely a screen against the Serbians
