TIIB TABERNACLE.
Threatening WeHther Did Not Keep
Away the People. »
Although the clouds were dark and
lowering a most excellent audience went
to the Tabernacle Inst night to hear
the great evangelists. The services be
gan with a beautiful hbng eervlce, led
by the large chorus, after which Mr.
Combs read the Scriptures and made
the opening prayer, professor Dawdy
repeated, by request of some of his ad
mirers.'that well known solo “Where Is
My Wandering Hoy Tonight?” At the
close of the sermon he a;ing most feel
ingly the solo “Why Not Tonight?"
Dr. Itoinig preached with his usual
strength one of hla profound gospel ser
mons, which made a deep impression
oil the audience. The mbst remarkable
feature of the ovungclist is a thorough
knowledge of the Scriptures and his con
stant use of them in his services. No
preacher has ever been heard In Mncon
who Is his equal In that respect.
It wn* expected that tho great meet
ing would close last night, but tho doc
tor announced that he would remain
until Thursday night ut least. Many
had Importuned him to remain and he
felt that ho could not yet leave, because
bo many were still Inquiring <he way
of aalyntlon. Should ho close tho meet
ing lie feared some soul would bo lost.
At the close of the sermon two more
wero added to the saved. The lrdlnanee
of baptUm will bo observed at the
church this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Re
member the servlco tonight. Dr. Ito-
tnlg has promised one of his beat dis
courses.

MURDERED IN
COLD BLOOD
Bill Janes Shoots and Almost Instantly
Kills His Former Partner,
Henry Fields,
SHOT THROUGH AND THROUGH
Jonei 9Ial(0i Ills Ktcmp* to tbo a***tnp
and lias Not Beta Captarsd—Tho
Coroner’s Jury Says It Was
Murdcr-Tlie Evidence.
Henry L. Fields was almoet JnNtantly
killed by William H. Jones at 8 o'clock
yesterday at a store kept by Jones,
on Hazel s treat, near the Georgia
mill* and Acme Brewery-
The killing wan done with a thirty-
eight Smith & Wessbn pistol at short
range, and, in the opinion of the coro
ner's Jury, was wilful murder.
Jones fired two Shots, the first of
which entered the right breast, three-
fourths of an Inch above the nipple,
and passed entirely through the body,
coming out almost In the centre of the
back. The second shot entered under
the right «arm and Was extracted from
the hole made 'by Its entrance. The
first shot Is thought to he the one'thait
produced death.
Fields lived about three minutes af
ter the shotting and died on the floor
of the store before medical assistance
could be had. Jones left /ho store im
mediately after the shocking and ran
toward the swamp with his pistol in
hie hand. He has not yet beeq cap
tured.
Fields and Jones had been partners
in a small grocery and bar on Hazel
street up to a few weeks ago, when
Fields tto'ld out to Jones, who was .to
pay hUm in weekly Installments for.
his Nnare of the stock. Jones did next
meet the payments regularly and on
Friday or Saturday he received a note
supposed to .be from Mrs. Fields, ask
ing him to send her $3. Jones did not
send the money, anti the supposition Is
that his failure *b Jo so was the cause
of Fields' visit to the store yesterday
morning.
'When Jones, accompanied by 5Ir.
George IW. Green, a railroad fireman,
arrived at the store yesterday morn
ing between 7 And 8 o'clock, he
found tFikls awaiting him. The men
entered Ithe store and in a few minutes
began disputing about the money
Jones oweti Fields for the stock of
gobds. During the dispute Jonee men
tioned tho note sent by 'his wife to
Jones kuft week, and asked Jones why
he did not send the money. Jones re
plied that the note was not written by
Mrs. Fields, whereuiwn Fields said:
"If tyou say that note is a forgery,
you are a liar.*’
Gone* replied: “Don’t you call me a
Mar.“
JYxnes said, “If you say that Is a
forged note ybu are » 11 ar."
Jones again said don't call me a liar,
and 'as Fields was making some an
swer that was not understood by the
witness, Jonen fired while standing
wKhln a few feet of Fields. After the
flrdt shbt Flekls turned as If to retreat
and Jones fired again us Fields' side
was turned to him. Jones then ran out
the frprtt .door and went toward the
uvvamp. Fields went to tho rear door
of the ritore and came back to where
he was Utandln* when the shooting
occurred, And fell on some chairs, face
downward. He asked Mr. Greeue to
send for <1 doctor, but when Mr. Greene
asked if he would no»t rather have a
hack ami go home, he said yes. Seeing
that Fields was seriously hurt, Mr.
Greene culled a negro named Mose
Nixon tb hla assistance and laid Fields
out on the floor, Where he died 1n Just
three minutes after being sh'ot. •
By this time several policemen and
a crowd of curious people had gathered
about tho tftore. The police questioned
the witnesses an*i were soon looking
for ahe 'murderer, but he had fully a
half hour's start and had made good
his escape in fkp swamp. As quickly
os possible Sheriff Wcekcott and his
deputies were on •‘thy scene and they
began at once to seared* the tr.vump,
but no itrace of 'the fugitive could bo
found, the only information obtained
being that he iwus seen croeslng the
Georgia Southern r&tlivud In the
swamp. Telefcrauia were Kent in all
directions by Sheriff WeitodK, whb
gave a full description of Jones, anti
who did and is still do.'ng all In his
power to have him cap:ared. Those
who know Jones be^t suy tbait he will
not be captured without a fight, and
qm he 1s armed trouble is one pec ted.
'As Boon as possible after Fields’
death Justice Eifison was summoned
to aot as coroner and In a short while
a Jury was empanelled.
The evidence before <ihe Jury was aa
follows:
CORONER'S INQUEST.
George W. Greene sworn., said: Came

The deceased wus at the store. Btll Jones
and deceased disputed about account be

Jones walked from the bar to the front
of the store, and a dispute arose about
a note sent by Mrs. Fields to Jones at
the store. Witness walked to front door

but It was unloaded, and ufterwards tent

Following is the verdict:
“We the Jury aforesaid, upon our oatns
say W. H. Jones of ©aid epuntjr did on
the lGth day of July, 2834, unlawfully kill
the said Henry L. Fields, with a pistol;
and we, the Jury, In our opinion- believe
It murder/'
The Jury was composed of the follow
ing gentlemen:

Henry L. Fields was about 35 years of
age.- He came to Macon from Albany a
number of years ago and entered the
employ of the East Tennessie, Virginia
and Georgia railroad as yard master.
Several years ago he married Miss Joiner,
who is left a widow with threo small
children. For some time past he has
been in the grocery and ba r room busi
ness. but sold out several ws ks ago to
Jones. 51 r. Fields was physcnll/ a pow
erful man, of fine appearance. To all
appearances he was very muscular, and
welshed about 200 pounds. Ills family
lives at 416 Oglethorpe street, from wnence
his funeral will take place at 10 o'clack
this morning.
William H. Jones Is about 50 years
of age. He came to Macon during the
war with Wilson’s raiders and has been
here ever since. His homo la in Indiana.
He has a wife and grown daughter. Ills
home is on Fourth street, near the cor
ner of Oak. Bill Jones, as he Is always
colled, was a deputy sheriff for a num
ber of years, but for the past eight years
has been on the police force. When the
police commission took charge of the
police department Inst January Jones was
dropped from the roll, and since then
he has worked at various things until a
short while ago, when he bought an In
terest In Fields store. He had announced
his intention of running for coroner ?n
the approaching election.
Sheriff Westcott lv making every effort
to capture Jones.- He has telegraphed a
description of him all over the state, and
Is searching the Oemulgee swamp.
Owing to his peculiar appearance It
will be hard for Jones to get away. He
Is of medium height, with dark hair and
clean shaved face, ond blue eyes. On.
his face, neck and hands aro large white
splotches that make him appear to have
been ecalded. These splotches ore of a
whitish appearance and are plainly no
ticeable. He weighs about 180 pounds, and
has a fine voice that changes almost
Into a whisper whan'he talks rapidly.
The murder created considerable excite
ment yesterday, and tho goneral opinion
was that It- was clld blooded. ,

The frsuil equanimity and placidity
of the fcJabbith afternoon was for a few
moments ruffled Sunday In the locality
of the reservoir when it was discovered
that a huge conchwhip snake liad full
possession of the premises In the rear
of the residence of Mr. Alex Soule on
Secoml street. The pre-en;e of his
snake&hlp was discovered by some of
the oliildren who were in the garden
at that time, nnd Mr. Soule being in
formed of the fact a^med hlmsflf with
a hoe and proceeded tb inaugurate a
crusade of extermination sgalust the
unwelcome" visitor. But the gentleman
had reckoned without his host if he had
any anticipation of a speedy annihila
tion of tiie m’onster. who was eight or
ten feet In length and about ns large
in diameter as that specie? Is ever
found. While prodlng around in the
grass and vegetables he was suddenly
and not very agreeably made aware of
his presence, and gathering strength for
a blow at him. he let drive and—missed
him, his snakeship doubling himself up
Into a knot fbr on his enemy encom
passed the space between him and Mr.
Soule in an Inflnitessimal amount of
time, much to the fear and trepidation
of the gentleman, who beat a retreat
toward the house, but being gained on
by his enemy at every step. Finding
himself in quite dangerous proximity
he at last comprehended through his
momentary fright that lie had u weapon
In bis hand, and turning suddenly he
launched two or threo blows at him, and
venturing to look to see the effect of
them. In imaginatibn, like the famous
six hundred of Capt. Nolan at Balak-
lava. who found cannon to the right of
them, cannon to the left ond rear—all
around them, saw coachwhlps innumer
able on all sides, and. making one more
effort for the summary execution nnd
extermination of the miniature saurian,
dealt a death blow Coward the vicinity
of the hydra-headed monger. He then
dropped the hoe and like Wiggins and
the corn-stealing bear he shot while
committing his depredations once on a
time at Adamas Park, and who never
knew the result of the sh*ot for a week
after, when he accidentally came up in
his field with the carcass, made for tho
accommodating dividing fence, over
which he went. with such agility as
would h.iv*> made tlm Haul m brothers
ashamed of themselves. A fetSr minutes
later Mr. Soule ventured to look into
the arena and there lay his eniiny dead
on the well fought field. It is supposed
that the conchwhip came out from tho
tangle of undergrowth near the reser
voir bn the grounds of the 5Iegrath es
tate. The fight of that afternoon will
be long remembered by the participant
and witnesses. It wa3 ferocious and ag
gressive from the start, It being known
that this reptile will reflet molestation
to the end.
