Miss Lizzie Hutchings left Friday for Nashville, Teun., to spend some time studying the styles ,in millinery prep aratory to taking charge of a millinery store at Buena Vista> N hut was recall ed Sunday by the sad' news of the death of her brother, Mr. W. N. Hutch ings. Ills Life. Policeman Lawrei.ee Hunt was shot and in tantly killed about 2 o’clock Sunday morning by Ed. Walker, a brakeman on the Central Railway, in the store of Mr. J. 8. Moore on Gib- Hon street at the Seaboard Air Line crossing. There are many conflicting stories of the entire affair, and It is dif ficult to obtain anything definite as td the transaction, as nil testimony was delivered on the investigation by the Grand Jury behind closed doors. All parties agree, however, that Ed. Walk er did the killing, and the Grand Jury returned a true bill Tuesday against him for murder. He was arrested shortly after the killing, with five others -Charley Walker, his brother, Tebe Young, .1. S. Moore, J. W. Woods and Will Green—and lodged in Jail. The other five men were released on the investigation by the Grand Jury. The facts, so far as the* can be obtained, are about as follows: it ap pears that about a dozen men were at the Moore store at or about the time of the shooting, and that Policeman Hunt had just offered to treat the crowd to cigars when some one either Inside or outside threw a bo’tlo, strik ing Hunt. He drew his pls'ol and demundi d to know who threw It. No one answered, and the officer express ed his opinion or the man who hit him. Charley Walker ivpd Tebe Young seized Hunt and attempted to take his weapon away from him, and in the scuffle it was discharged twice, Walke and Young each receiving a shot in the hand. Ed. Walker joined in the scuffle, and vr ached the gun from Hunt’s hand, the latter falling to the floor in the tussle. Ed. Walker then fired on the prostrate officer, killing him Instantly with his own pistol. His brains and blood were -splatter ed over the floor, and his body was found Just as he was shot face down by the officers who f.rst arrived on the scene of the tragedy. The body was tukdi to undertaker’s establishment and examined by D.s. J. A. Liddell and W. A. Chapman. It is riald that they discovered seven holes In the head. Mr. Hunt was about 28 years old, and was born and reared in Polk county. He was one of our first youi { men to volunteer for the Spanlsh- American w'ar, and made a good sbl- dier. He was united in marriage ab out three years ago to Miss Annie Belle,the eldest daughter of Dr.J. W. Brewer, a little girl now two years old blessing their union. Mr. Hunt was elected to the police force over a year ago. and was a brave and fearless officer. He was daring al most to rashness, and was no re- spector of violators of the law. Ce- dartown never had a more courageous officer, and tV.e unfortunate affair Is one of the most shocking tragedies that ever occurred in Cedartown, and Is deplored by all our people. Funeral services were conducted Mon day afternoon by Rev. H. M. Quil- Han at the residence of Mr. Will Brew er, and the remains Interred In Green wood cemetery.
