DR. J. R. SEWELL
SHOT TO DEATH
Dr, J. R. Sewell, of 151 Rich
ardson street Atlanta, a well
known speciliast, was shot and
killed shortly belore 1 o’clock
Tuesday alternoon by William
M. Cox, of Austell, who immetL
iately turned his revolver on
himselt, inflicting a serious
wound.
The doulle tragedy occured in
Dr Sewell’s office at 106 112
Whitehall street. The two shots
fired by the man supposed to be
Cox, atiracted a large crowd,
which immediately rushed to the
Physician’s office. The office
filled, the crowd began to con>
gregate in the street brlow and
betore two ambulances bore the
dead and wounded away the
crowd had blocked traffic in the
thoroughfare.
There were no witnesses to
the shootiug. From the appear
ance of the room and the man*
ner in which the revolver fell it
is presumed by the detective in*
vestigating the case and others
that Cox used the revolver on
the Physician and then turned it
on himselt. No motive is known
lor the tragedy. Cox had been
waiting in the reception room for
several minutes, it is said.
Dr. Sewell is survived bv a
wile and six children. Dr. Eld»
ridge, a dentist, who is now in
Savannah, Roy, an employe ol
the post office ; Miss Annie Ruth
Sewell, 18 years of age, now
with her mother, Miss Irene, 16,
pupil at the Girl’s high school,
George and Van, ten years ot
age.
F. R. Sewell, son of the dead
man, was overcome with distress
when he learned ot the death ot
his father. He said he did not
know Cox and was at a loss to
account for his act.
W. M. Cox is the son of Steve
Cox, one of the best known
farmers near Austell. His Jfath-
er is a weft fixed financially and
has hundreds of friends in th^
vicinity of his home. W. M.
Cox has always been known t 8
a “rather peculiar” man.
When Cox was first taken
to the hospital it was believed
that he was dying. Later phy
sicians announced that he had
regained consciousness and that
they thought he would recover,
though his recovery was by no
means certain.
After he became conscious he
refused to talk. He would not
say who he was nor why he had
killed Dr. Sewell. He lay with
his lips compressed, maintaining
an unbroken silence.
He was a patient ot Dr.Sewell’s
it is said, and was laboring un
der fancied wrongs done him by
the physician concerning his
failure to cure him of a chronic
disease.
The coroner’s jury has order
ed Cox held, and he is under
guard in the hospital.
Dr. Sewell was well known
in Carrollton, he having moved
from this place to Atlanta about
two years ago. Mrs Sewell was
formerly Miss Amye Robinson
of this place.
Funeral services were held to
day at the First Baptist Church
in Carrollton, conducted by Rev.
Geo D. Harris after which the
remains were interred in the city
cemetery.
