Man Killed
at Cordele.
Cordele, Ga. Sept. 5. —A deplor
able tragedy occurred in Cordele
Saturday night, and again our city
was shocked with the news that an
other man had been killed.
About 7 o’clock Saturday night
Will Parker, a horse trader, shot
and instantly killed Grover Rowell,
an employee at a saw mill about
two and one-half miles from the
city. The shooting occurred at the
home of Parker in the eastern por
tion of tlie city. Immediately fol
lowing the shooting Parker surrend
ered to city officers, Will Kendall
and T. N. Turk and was incarcerat
ed in the county jail.
Coroner T. N. Turk secured a
jury, composed of W. I). Gorman,
C. O. Noble, P. C. Malone, J. B.
Pate, J. IL Quattlebaum and E. P.
James.
Two witnesses were heard before
coroner’s jury. Tlie first was Mrs.
Bettie Parker, wife of the man who
did the shooting. According to
her statement Parker and Rowell
had been friends for some years,
but that Parker had refused to let
Rowell come to his home while the
latter was in a drunken condition,
the reason being that Rowell used
vulgarity and profanity while in
toxicated. A short while previous
to the shooting Mrs. Barker stilted
that Rowell had come to the home
under the influence of liquor and
knocked on the door. in answer
to the knock a young son of Barker
opened tlie door, and seeing that it
was Rowell seeking admission,
he told him that he had

bteter leave. To this Rowell
in a paroxysm of profane language
made the threat that he had come
to cut the elder Parker’s throat.
The elder Barker then passed thru
the front door, at which Rowell had
attempted to enter, telling the latter
to leave the home upon which Ro
well made a futile attempt to cut
him. Rushing down the steps,
following several successive, but un
successful, efforts on the part of
Rowelltocut him, Parker was follow
ed around the house by his assailant.
Entering by the hack way, Barker
secured a Springfield rifle, loadei?it
by the light of a lamp and went
out to meet his'adversary. Rowell
again attempted tlie life of Barker,
making several strokes at him, in
in his last effort the knife striking
the barrel of the gun held by his
opponent. Barker then shot one
time at close range, the ball strik
ing Rowell’s right l and, penetrat
ing the thick part of it, and enter
the right breast. The hall made
no exit from the mortally wounded
man’s body, but lodged under the
skin in his back.
Susie Fullei, an old negro wo
man, was then brought before the
jury and testified, her statement
corroborating in detail with that of
Airs. Barker.
After a lengthy consultation the
the coroner’s jury returned a ver
dict of justifiable homicide. The
prisoner was released from jail a
few minutes later.
Bearing a warrant, charging Bar
ker with murder, issued on an af
fidavit of Carl Rowell, a brother of
the dead man, Sheriff John H.
Ward, re-arrested Barker early yes-

Another Good Farmer
Rev. W. J. Hardy, who lives

already picked, ginned and sold 5
bales of cotton, averaging 500 lbs
each, from a one horse farm. This
cotton was grown from Broadwell’s
prolific seed. Mr. Hardv is an un
usually good farmer and we are not
at all surprised at this good report.
Emmett Taylor, of Hawkinsville,
was in the city Monday.

terday afternoon, placing him in
tlie county jail.
It is alleged that Parker was also
intoxicated at the time the tragedy
occurred.
The remains of the dead man
