8 SHOT A NEGRO OFF HIS HORSE BELIEVED HE WAS PURSUED. XKGHO HAD BROKEA INTO TWO HOI'SES. Detectives Hnrrierl to Scene ot Shooting;. lint Ainu AA’ho Flrerl Gon Had Made Hi* Escape—Shooting Took Place at Alaiiama Junction. Injured Alun Ha* a Chance to Re cover—Bundle of t lot lie* and Gan Left Behind. Robert Bacon, a negro 21 years of nge. was shot in the side with a load of duck shot and mortally wounded yesterday at noon, two miles from Sa vannah on the Atlantic Cohst Line road at a point known as the Alabama Junc tion. There were no eye-witnesses to the shooting, and the identity of the man Avho fired is as yet unknown. Bacon v*as able, however, to give a minute description of him to the detectives, end the direction in which he went. A telephone message was received at Police Headquarters shortly after 1 o’clock, stating that a negro had been murdered at the Alabama junction. De tectives Wail and Murphy were detail ed on the case. Accompanied by a Morn ing News reporter they went to the scene of the shooting on a special train. Mounted officers Eivers and Best also went to the scene to assist in captur ing the guilty party, as it was stated he had made his escape. llucon AVa* Hilling Hone. When the detectives arrived on the scene the keeper of the signal station and several laborers near by had mov ed the wounded man to his father's house, about 200 yards from where the shooting occurred. He was perfectly conscious, but in great pain. According to Bacon’s statement, he ■was riding a horse, and w'as carrying cows to pasture when he was shot. He was knocked from the horse, but kept his hold on the bridle, the horse stand ing perfectly still. He said he did not see the man who did the shooting un til he was right on him. He had just crossed the railroad track, when, without a word of warn ing, the man, who was sitting near the load side, apparently having been in hiding, rose, leveled his gun and fired. He did not utter a word, and immedi ately started running down the road in the direction of the city. He carried a large bundle of clothing, which he left in the road after going about 100 yards. Bacon managed to crawl back across the railroad, where he was found by those who went from his house to see what had caused the shooting. The description furnished toy the wounded negro was that his assailant was short and very black. He had a single barrel gun, wore a white or light-colored shirt and seemed a lit tle crippled in one foot. AsNiiilant Made Hi* E*eape. Men at the signal station soon after the shooting stated they saw the man pass going in the direction of the city. He had evidently hidden the gun, as he did not have any at that time. Some of those at the Florida Junction slated they saw the negro leave the dirt road, just before getting to a trestle over the Ogeechee canal and go towards the Georgia Car Works. The bundle of clothing was exam ined by the detectives, and brought back to the city. From the articles it contained it was evident the man who did the shooting had robbed some house and was under the impression he was being pursued by Bacon, which caused him to shoot. Just how serious the wounded ne gro’s condition is has not yet been de termined. as no doctor had appeared up to the tirrje the detectives left the scene. The greater part of the load entered his left side, just below the arm pit. A portion of the load made a great wound In his arm. The wound ed man is a son of Israel Bacon, a highly respected negro who is engaged in truck farming, and also works for one of the cotton compresses. He conducts a farm on the Telfair place. Two House* Were Robbed. Last night Anna Wing, a colored woman who lives about a mile from where the shooting occurred, called at police headquarters and stated that her home had been broken into and a large amount of clothing carried off. She named the missing articles and de scribed them, establishing beyond all question that the bundle of clothing which was found near the shooting belonged to her and had been stolen from her house. Henry Verand, another negro who ltve* next door to the Wing woman, also called on the police and report ed that his house had been broken into and a single barrel shot gun stol en. The gun has not yet been found. It Is supposed that the negro who stole It threw it in the grass beside the road. THE NATURE OF SIN SUBJECT OF SERMON. Instructions of Missloners Were Along Similar Line*. "Sin” ‘ was the subject of both the sermon and the Instructions at St. Paul s Church last night, and despite the cold, rainy, weather, the church was well-filled with attentive listeners. Rev. Father Huntington conducted the instruction* and Rev. Father Hugh sori preached the sermon. The sermon was characterized by conciseness, clearness, and logical ex position of the subject. Sin was treat ed of in Its different stages. In Its dif ferent classes, and in the different ways in which it manifests Itself in man. Its effects were pointed out and the one way of salvation shown. The sermon closed with an appeal to the congregation to embrace the opportun ity that had been given to escape the consequences of sin. The Instructions took up the same, subject. The inherency of sin in all mortals was shown and the progress It makes If not checked by divine pow er. 'The two classes of sins, venial and mortal, were defined and the dif ferences between them shown. The venial sins were pointed out as shut ting the sinner off from God. but not God from the sinner. They kept the sinner from fully knowing God. but did not In the leust lessen hla love for the sinner. The mortal sins, or "sins unto death" sre of • more serious character. Their sl?e<i |* to obliterate all the past acts of Godliness. Yet even they esn be forgiven, there being no limit set to the Infinite tenderness grid willingnaas to forgive that Is an attribute of God.
