Tuesday about noon, Joe Booker, a
Negro residing on the Williams place
near the home Of z. w. Whitfield, was
shot and killed by t. J. McGarry,
whose home is seven miles west Of
Fayette.
McGarry Immediately left teh scene
of the shooting with the intention Of
coming to Port Gibson and surrender
ing himself to the sheriff, but after
he had gone short distance he saw
Negro approaching him from the
rear at rapid gait and carrying a
shot gun. McGarry claims that when
he turned upon his pursuer the man
left the road as though he was at
tempting to cut him off from town.
Thinking that perhaps there were
others gathering to avenge the shoot
ing, he went to the home of Mr. Whit
field and telephoned to the sheriff's
office that he had killed man and
Davenport went Immediately and ar
rested McGarry and started back to
town with him when they met Sheriff
Bagnell, The prisoner was turned
over to Mr.. Bagnell while Davenport
went back in search of witnesses.
Upon reaching the home of Booker,
Mr.. Davenport found that he was not
dead as McGarry had supposed; chat
the bullet which was fired from AS
calibrc pistol, had struck the mans
skull, glanced up and entered the cell
ing. DR.. Redus was sent to attend
the wounded man.
It was found that the ball penetrat-
ed the skull, coming out about two
inches further up. Booker fingered
in an unconscious condition until some
time during the night when he passed
away.
McGarry was seen at the court |
house soon after he had been brought
in, but refused to discussed the shoot
ing further than to say that he was
justified He says he lives near Fay
cite; has a wife and child; is farm
er, and does collecting as a side line,
though he would not say for whom
he was collecting when the tragedy
occurred.
