SHOT IN BACK WAS KILLER Eyewitnesses Declare McGee Fired On Victim From Rear, TRIED TO KILL COMPANION The Community Js Deeply Stirred Over the Killing—Strenuous Ef forts to Capture Murderer. Rome, Ga., November 27. —As details of the killing ot F. L. Mil ler, near Cave Spring yesterday by John B. McGee, come to hand the crime becomes all the more atro cious. From the testimony of eye wit nesses Miller was shot in the back as he started to get in his buggy and absolutely without warning. McGee fired five shots, two taking effect in Miller’s mule and killing it. The first and final shots struck Miller, the last causing death. McGee, after shooting Miller down, tried to get a shotgun to shoot Mr. Hubbard, who was in the buggy, but was prevented by John Jones, who was with him. Miller, Hubbard and a small son of the former drove to McGee’s place to look at some cattle. Mil ler carried his shotgun and fired into a covey of birds they flushed. McGee’s children were picking cotton in a field near by. They hastened home and told their father that the shots had fallen all around them. McGee, in a tower ing rage, went to Cave Spring to get a warrant for Miller, but the justices of the peace refused to issue it. McGee started back and came up to Hubbard and the lad who were sitting in the buggy. McGee, in a violent language, demanded to know why they were shooting at his children. Hubbard assured him that no one was doing so. At this moment Miller came out of the field and McGee asked him the same question. He was told that no such thing was done or intended. Miller unbreeched his gun, took out the shells and then placed the weapon in the buggy: He staited to get hi, when McGee shot him in the back. Mil ler whirled and clinched with the infuriated man In the struggle lie was shot to death. McGee left at once and blood hounds could trail him only a short distance. It is thought that he procured a horse and headed for Alabama. The pistol with which Miller was killed belonged to his son, Frank, who had loaned it to McGee only a few days . before. McGee’s wife is a niece of the dead man. The community is deeply stirred over the brutality of the killing and no effort is being spa: ed to ap prehend the slayer. Miller stood high in the community and was regarded by everyone as a peacea ble man. McGee is given to violent and deadly fits of anger, especially when drinking. Miller was buried at his home this afternoon. A posse of fifty men, accompa nied by bloodhounds, left Cave Spring this morning in pursuit of McGee. He is a desperate man and the posse expects that he will fight before being taken. GIVES HIMSELF UP. Rome, Ga., November 28. John McGee, who is charged with the murder of Frank Miller, at Cave Spring, gave himself up today and is now behind the bars of Floyd county jail. While being chased by the sher iff’s posse wita bloodhounds McGee fell and badly injured his knee. He suffered intensely from the injury and sought medical aid. He called upon Dr. Watts and that gentleman advised him to surren der. McGee then went home, kissed his wife and children goodbye and ■called up Sheriff Camp over the BEST FOR THE BOWELS Jf you haven’t & regular, healthy movement of the bowels every day. you’re ill or will be.

Deputy Sheriffs Broach and Byars immediately left for Cave Spring and returned tonight about 7 o’clock with their prisoner. McGee has slept in the woods for the past twenty-four hours and during that time has had nothing to eat. He has but little to say and at times weeps bitterly. He is completely broken down, physi cally, and is suffering great mental torture. Citizens of Cave Spriirg offered a reward of SIOO for McGee’s arrest and business in that little town has been practically at a standstill since the tragedy.

SAM JONES- Bids Farewell to Mobile Where He Preached Effectually. Moliis Herald. With tonight’s services the grefit revival conducted by Rev. Sam Jonts and Rev. George Stuart, under the auspices of the Protest ant churches of Mobile, will end. Mr. Jones will go to his home at Cartersville, Ga , for a shoit rest and will then leave for the north and northwest on a lecturing tour. Mr Jones and his co-workers have accomplished much good in Mobile, which must be admitted even by those who oppose his meth ods and mannerisms. A conserva tive estimate is that one hundred thousand persons heard him and Mr. Stuart during their stay in Mo bile of ten days. Mr. Jones says that Mobile has more clever people to the hundred than any city on earth. He also re marked that he liked The Herald notwithstanding the tilts between him and this paper on the new con stitution. He said “The Herald is spicy and snappy; lam betting on you. You have been furnishing me with copy and I reciprocated by giv ing you something to write about. We part good friends.” After last night’s meeting, cards were distributed by the Citizens’ League, recently formed at a meet ing of representatives from all the denominational churches, asking for the names and addresses of all who desired to become members of the league About one thousand persons signed and leturned the Cards, notifying their acceptance of membership. Today similar cards were distributed down town. The objects of the league are said to be the purification of city life and to fight gambling and drinking.

To Shorten Hunting Season- Atlanta Journal. Sportsmen all over Georgia are greatly interested in a bill now before the legislature which pro poses to cut down the time in which game can be hunted or trapped from December Ist to March Ist. This would material ly shorten the hunting season in Georgia. The law at present fixes the hunting season from November 1 to March 15. “The bill ought to pass,” said one of the best known sportsmen in the state in the arcade last night. “The time has come when Georgia must take the most vigor ous steps lor the protection of game, or soon we will have none worth speaking of.” But more important still, than the passoge of laws to protect game, is the enforcement of these laws.. If more attention w r as paid to enforcing the laws we now have things would not be as they are now. The real sportsmen of the state are very much in earnest in this matter.
