SHOOTING 111
ADAIRSVILLE.
Henry Paris Shoots Espasia Smith
Fatally.
THE TWO MEN HAVE WORDS.
When Smith Attacks Paris and is
Disarmed But Returns With
Another Weapon.
A killing occurred at Adairsville
last Saturday, Henry Paris putting
four shots from a revolver into the
body of Espasia Smith, and Smith
dying in a little while.
Paris is a young mm whose
home was in the Pine Log settle
ment, but who had recently engag
ed as a clerk 111 the store of Mr. A
M. Cox. Early in the afternoon
Smith came in the store and it
was said was drinking some. Parris
had taken the agency for a life of
McKinley and asked Smith if he
would buy a copy. He replied, in
effect that he had no use for
McKinley or any man who would
sell the book. Words followed be
tween them when Smith said he
would shoot Paris, whereupon the
latter grappled with him and called
Mr. Cox to take Smith’s pistol
away from him. Cox found a pis
tol in Smith’s pocket and taking it
from him, put it in the show case.
Smith became very much enrag
ed and when Pairis let him go he
said he would go home and fix
himself. Cox anticipating seriou-.
trouble,followed Smith to his home
and remonstrated with him ask
ing him not to return to where
Parris was. But Smith was obsti
nate and attacked Cox inflicting
blows on him.
When Smith returned he was
accompanied by his brother, Rob
ert Smith, who it has been said
tried to get Espasia Smith to stop
at the hotel. Robert Smith walk
ed up to near where Parris was
who was standing on the sidewalk.
Esp tsia Smith soon came up the
sidewalk and as Parris saw him,
pointed his pistol at him an . told
him not to come any further, Smith
only hesitated a moment and then
made demonstrations as if to shoot
when some one in the crowd near
by said to Parris, “look out he will
shoot you:” and Parris seeing
Smith as in the act of shooting be
gan shooting, emptying his pistol.
Smith went and sat on the well
platform a moment then got up
and started to the Bailey market
when he fell on the sidewalk. He
was carried in the market where he
died in a little whilei
After he had shot Espasia Smith
Parris saw Bob Smith with a pistol
and he advanced and grappled
with him. Two shots were fired
in tne scuffle that ensued between
the two men. They were separated.
Parris and Bob Smith were arrest
ed and brought to this city that
evening. Bob Smith was allowed
to give bond and Parris was held
for trial. His case was tried yes
terday before the superior court,
which was at the time of the killing
and is now in session.
