THE FRYER-FLOU*NQY DIFFICULTY. \
Pryor Dies Fom the Wound on the Back
of the Head.
Mr. C. H. Fryer, vho had the difficulty
on Friday afternoon with Mr. Robert
Flournoy, at the cotton yard of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
and which was reported in Saturday’s
paper, died about 6 o’clock Sunday morn
ing. Mr. Fryer was the hostler for the
yard, having in charge the switching en
gine. Mr. Flournoy was the yard master,
ami the cause of the trouble so far as can
he learned was about some cars.
Coroner Hodnett impaneled a jury
about 11 o'clock and the inquest was held
■nt the residence of the deceased near the
Georgia Mills. The following is the evi-
•dence:
II. T. Tarver fsworn: The first I saw of
the difficulty, Mr. Flournoy was standing
on the main track in the yard at the cotton
yard of the East Tennessee, Virgiuia and
Georgia railroad, on the evening of the
23th of July. 1 heard loud and angry
words passing between Flournoy and
Fryer. Saw Mr. Flournoy throw some
thing at Fryer but didn't know what it
was, but it did not hit him. Fryer then
got off his engine and went to where Flour
noy was and collared him. I heard Flour
noy tell Frye* that he (Fryer) had his
knuo open and wanted to cut him: then
Flcfcrnoy drew his knife and told him if
hn wflnttfit tri rnnlil rut his (Frvpr’sl
he wanted to he could cut his (Fryer's)
Eoozle. I attempted to stop the difficulty,
out did not touch either one ol them.
Flournoy then passed his hand over Fry
er’s face, whereupon Fryer cat him with
his knife up:n his left shoulder. Flournoy
did not attempt to cut him with his knife
but stepped to a car and took up a coup
ling pin and threw it at him, but missed
him. Fryer then started toward Flournoy
again, but before reaching him Freer
turned and ran, FIdurnoy alter him. After
running about thirty or forty yards,
Flournoy picked up something while run
ning, and threw it at Fryer, striking him
on the back of the head, knocking him
down. He fell on bis face, and I went to
nick him up, thinking him dead; but be
fore reaching him he got up, staggered
and walked off. When Fryer got aown
from hie engine. I saw Flournoy take his
knife in his hand and open it, then looking
at Fryer I aaw him also have his knife
open in bis hand. Flonrnoy was about
fifteen feet from Fryer when he threw and
hit him.
James Land sworn, testified as to the
latter part of the difficulty, corroborating
the testimony of Mr. Tarver. He said the
“clinker’* with which Fryer was struck
would weigh about two pounds.
A. C. Ninper testified to having seen
Flournoy run across the track after a
coupling pin, and saw him throw it at
Fryer; then Fryer filmed to go towards
Flonrnoy and then turn and ran. Flour
noy ran after him abont forty yards.
While running, Flournoy picked up some
thing and threw at Fryer and struck him
on the back of the bead, which knocked
him down on his face. Fryer was
about fifteen feet from Flonrnoy when
he was struck. Fryer then got op
and walked oil.
D. L. Landera and James Brently testi
fied about the same as Mr. Tarver.
Wm.Banders sworn; Th' commence
ment ol the difficulty was about the loca
tion of cars, the cars being in the way of
Fryer's getting bis engine to the coal pile.
They commenced abualngeach other. The
d—d He waa passed by both parties fre
quently, when finally 1 aaw Flournoy pick
up a lump of coal and throw it at Fryer.
They were then fifteen or eighteen leet
apart. Then Fryer iunfped oft his engine
and went toward hlournoy, both cursing
each other at the same time. When the
parties met Flournoy put hia hand under
Fryer’s chin and told Fryer that he was a
better man than be was. Then both be
gan Knitting with each other. In n lew
seconds I saw Fryer tarn away from Flour
noy and run. Flournoy running alter him.
The next thing I saw was Fryer falling
forward on hia lace. -
William Zeigler, sworn; In the com
mencement of the difficulty Fryer said
something to Flournoy, but did not hear
what it was. Then I heard Fryer call
Flournoy a d—d liar, bat could not bear
Flonrnoy’* reply. Fryer then took liis
knife out of his pocket, opened it and got
down ofThia engine and went up to Flour
noy, who waa about twenty-fire feet from
him. I could not bear wbat waa aaid, but
saw Flournoy strike or rub his fiat in his
face two or three times. I then heard
Fryer lay: "Bob, you are a better man
than I am." I then left to attend to my
business. The next I saw waa Fryer cut
at l'lourooy, but cannot sny whether he
cut Mm or not; then taw Fryer run, but
could not see anyone after him as the can
were In the way. The next time 1 saw
Fryi rliswa, standing between bis coal
tart, Jill face iM bleeding in two places.
Then he came up and I jaTe him tome
money that 1 had picked up. I was with
him when he became uncotuclotu and had
to leave hi* engine.

THE BRICKVARD KILLING.
The Testimony Before tne Coroner'* Jury
yesterday.
Anderson Tanner, the negro who was
shot at Anderson’* brickyard on Monday
night, did not die that night, as was re
ported, but died yesterday about r.oon.
Coroner Hodnett impaneled a jury as
follows: H. O. Cutter, fore*an;C. A.
Caldwell, Wales Wlnton, N. C. Munroe,
Bridges Smith, J. Rohr, Peter Solomon,
Henry Loh. D. J. Keating. W. Maaterson.
W. B. Chapman, J. A. Stewart end D. F.
Phillips, and held an inquest over the body
lying at hi* house In the alley opposite
Davis's ambles, on Third street. The first
witness was Mary Smith, whs testified at
folio*:
The men were citting down in tbo brick
yard talking. Taylor Hubert said he
wouldn't take his dog home because they
(meaning the dog-catchers) would take
him to the barracks. Henrv Darby said
no man would take his dog if they sre.-e
with him. Taylor said; "Anderson, if
you had the dog, and if they come to hint
for the dog, wouldn't he let him go?” An
derson Baid: "Yes,rather than resist the
officers, and had rather pay the two dol
lars.” At that time Emanuel stepped up,
and Amlersou said that the men were -re
joicing at
A MAX’S DOWXrALl.
If ever he rejoiced at a man’s downfall,
he wanted come man to take a shot-gun
with fifteen buckshot ic it and blow his
brains out. Anderson said he had heard
of men rejoicing at those women going to
the chain-gang, and he told them it wasn't
the chain-gang, and he told them It waan t
right. Then Jim Mitchell spoke and said:
"Anderson, yon are not in favor of any
women going to the chain-gang, are
you?” and he replied, “Jo, sir.’’ Then
Emanual asked who in the h—1 he was
talking about. Anderson said he wasn't
miking about him; to make himself easy.
Emanuel said he was a d—d lie. Ander
son said he was another. Euumuel picked
up two bricks and told Anderson be would
knockfib—lout of him .if he called him
a d—n liar again. Anderson
said: “You are a <»—d lie.”
Taylor said, “Emanncl, he wasn’t talk
ing about you. he was talking about my
dog going to town.” Emanuel says,
4 “roti’ex A LIAR.
You turned women off on dogs," Ander
son said he was a d n thieving liar.
Emanuel pulled his pistol from his pocket
and cocked it, and told him it he moved
be would kill him. Anderson said he was
imposing on him because he was a coward.
Emanuel threw bis pistol down-and
graobed a brick. Anderson then wenRnto
his feed house at d got his pistol and came
to the door with it in hia hand. Emanuel
pulled his pistol out again and cocked it,
and stepped abont two steps from the
door and dared Anderson to poke his head
out of the door. Prince Day and Henrv
Darby came aronnd and told Emanuel he
was doing wrong and violated the law.
Then Emanuel walked off and Anderson
came out of the house and Emanuel says
"Anderson, you are atbieving .” An
derson says, “Don't you cuss me, and f
won't cun you." Emannel says, “You were
talking about me when I came up." An
derson said, “You’re a d—d lie." Eman
uel whirled around and said; "I told you
I'd kill you if you called me a d—n
lie agam.” Ho ran bis hand
in his pocket and Anderson shot at Eman
uel. Then Emanuel shot Anderson and
be fell, and said “Emanncl,
Tot- HAVE KILLED MS,"
Emannel cocked his pistol aiain and
walked to him and said, “you 1 aimed
tolkill you." Anderson said, “Please don't
kill me and don't shoot any more.” Eman
uel says, “I ain’t going to shoot any more,
but I'm going up town to have you ar
rested.” The men were about forty feet
apart when the shooting took place. This
happened at Anderson's brick yard hi
Bibb county, last night abont dark. An
derson asked me to go and get him a doc
tor and came up behind me on the rail
road, and then went towards the bridge.
Henry Darby; I am working at Ander
son's brick yard. Me and Taylor Hubert
were sitting under the shed in the yard,
and Taylor s little dogs cam* running up.
I said ‘‘You had better leave those dogs at
home before the dog catcher gets them.”
When we left. Anderson and Emanuel
were both outside the door, Anderson had
a pistol in his hand; Emanuel bad a
brick in on* hand and a pistol in
the other. They were cursing each
other, and Prince Day went to them
and told them they were violating the law
and the boa* didn't allow any lighting in
the yard and they must quit. They cursed
and tamed ofl from tue. They were then
almost
WITHIN REACH
of each other. I left Prince Day tali;, ”

the tine. Lieutenant Wylie hunted Ed up
and told him he mast make the bill good.
Fid, he sayh. got the bill from a woman,
who refused to replace it, saying that he
did not get it from her.
