WAGES DIES WEDNESDAY.
Man Short by Chief Copland Passes
Away at City Hall.
Tom Wag< s, a farmer who lived
in Ben Smith’s district, Gwinnett
county, died at the city hall Wed
nesday as the result of a pistol
wound, the shot being iired by
Chief of Police Copeland Saturday
night at 1 1 :-(•'> o’clock.
It is stated that Oscar Crow, who
lives on Athens street, just opposite
the city police station, sent word to
the police that a burglar was in Ins
house, and the chief, together with
his men, went to capture the burg
lar. Copeland was covering a win
dow when W ages appeared with
drawn knife, it is said, and the
chief ordered him to throw up his
hands. Instead, it is stated that
Wages leaped through the window
and advanced upon the chief, where
upon Copeland fired.
The hall entered the forehead
and passed almost entiely through
his head, coming our just above the
ear.
Medical assistance was quickly
summoned. Wages was removed
to the city pall and the physicians
did all that medical skill suggested
for the wounded man.
The burglar message was unfor
tunate, for to this message possibly
the death of Wages is due. Had
the police known the true facts,
doubtless Wages would have been
alive today.
It seems that a woman by the
name of Summon, who is separated
from her husband, occupies a room
at the Crow house, and it is said
that W ages was a gu st of this wo
man .
It is claimed by the friends of
Wages that when he entered this
house he hail considerable money,
j. hut a search of the premises re
vealed his pocket hook empty.
Wages leaves a wife and five
- little, children, and it was a sad
picture to see the little ones playing
about the hall while their father
was making a desperate light for
life.
This terrible tragedy is to he
doplored, but under the circum
stances it seems to us that no blame
should attach to Chief Copeland
fbr his part in it.
Hhd Wages been at home with
Jils ’frail little wife and innocent
.’children instead of where he was
tips. story would never have been
written.
