ter—Word* Followed and Ridley
Knocked Hill Down—Latter Arose
and Fired.
LaGrange, Ga., Jan. 3.—Dr. F.
M. Ridley, Jr., was shot by Harvey
Hill, of Atlanta, Wednesday.
The wound Inflicted upon Dr. Rid-
lay was a flesh wound, In the right
aide of hla body, and la not consid
ered dangerous.
The tragedy occurred at the resi
dence of Mrs. C. B. Ridley during
tho wedding ceremonies of her daugh
ter, Miss Eleanor Ridley, who was
married to Dr. B. G. Swanson. Hard
ly had the solemn words of Dr. 1
S. Hopkins, who performed the cere
mony, died from his lips when the
guests were startled by two pistol
•hots In the rear of the house. The
bride was being congratulated by her
host of friends and everything seemed
happy and peaceful, when all at onco
the sharp reports of the pistol were
beard.
An Investigation was Immedlatelyy
made, which sliowe dtbat Dr. Ridley
was lying on the floor in tho kitchen,
with a wound in his right side. Mr.
Hill came quietly out upon the back
porch and announced that be bad shot
Dr. Ridley, and thought be had kill
ed him. He went Immediately down
town and gave himself up to the sher
iff, and was confined In the .Troup
county jail.
Dr. Ridley is resting quietly at (He
home of his father. Dr. F. M. Rid
ley, Sr.
• Colonel Charles D. Hill, of At
lanta, the father of Harvey H1U, ar
rived here later in the day, and Is in
consultation with his son. They have
given out no Interview for the press,
Mr. Hill only saying he regretted the
affair very much and was glad to
know that Dr. Ridley’s wound was
not serious.
It Is not known what caused the
difficulty, as there were no eye-wit
nesses, and neither party has yet told
how It was brought about.
It Is thought, however, that the
tragedy was the result of Hill's at
tempting lo engage In conversation
with Miss Mary Hldley, a sister of Dr
Ridley. Some time ago the elder Dr.
Ridley requested Mr. Hill not to
speak to his daughter. It Is said
that when young. Ridley Wednesday
heard of Hill's disregard of this re
quest, he at once sought him out and
demand an explanation
Hot words were passed between the
two men. Dr. Ridley Anally knock
ing Mr. Hill down. Hill immediate
ly arose and fired two shots.
While, as above stated, no state
ments have been made, the general
opinion here Is that young Hill’s at
tempt to speak to Miss Ridley was the
cause of the tragedy.
Harvey Jllll was released oh bond
