Mr. Walter A. Holt, n Macon man.

den, waa arreated In Jacksonville yea-
t< vday mid locked up on the charge of
murdering a fellow-employe at a brick
nufiveturtng company about woven
inilea from Jackronvillc.
The father and Mr/,Thad Holt, a half
brother of the man unter arreft, will
leave this morning for Jacksonville to
gee what can bo done about the mat*
ter.
The death waa nuppoied to,be due to
suicide, but Mr. Holt's arrest waa mado
because of a suspicion that aro».* In
the minds of the coroner's Jury. The
Florida Times-Unlon and Cltlsen tells
the story of the alYair, but say* Yhar
the man's wife was the only *ye-w!t-

lief from psln.
Mr. Holt bOArded with the man,
whose name was Georg* U. Crmv. Mr.
and Mrs. Cruse had three children. A
neighbor saw Mr. Holt walk out of the
after the shooting, and this, cou
pled with the fact that the dead man's
pistol, with ths emptied chamber, was
lying on th» left side of the dead body,
Instead of the right side, seems to
hsvs caunrd Mr. Holt to be suspected,
and the coroner's jury, acting up >n
these two circumstance* had the
young man arrested.
The wife of the dead man testified
before ths coroner's Jury that during
the night her husband complained of
his 111 health! and suffering, and, Jump
ing out of bed, seised his piriol and de
clared that h« intended to end the
whole trouble. 8he began to scream
and Mr. Holt rushed front his room to
ms what waa happening. Before he
got to the Cruses' room, however, the
pfcstol tired, and the tnun fell dead. Mr.
Holt then went back to his. own room,
and In passing acmes the frbnt 'pinna,
rsw a neighbor, anJ called out, stating
what had happened.
The pistol, although It appears to
have belonged to the dead man. teems
