ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1887. CRIMES AND CRIMINALS; A Tragedy in the City of Nashville Friday. AN EDITOR SHOT DOWNIN THE STREET Nashville, Teun., December 24.—[Spe cial.] —lntense excitement lias prevailed here to-day over the fatal shooting of John J. Lit tleton by Joseph R. Banks, botli leading re publicans of the state. Trouble bus been looked for some days, as the National Review —Littleton’s paper—of December 17, con tained an offensive allusion to Banks. There was consequently little surprise, but great ex citement, when about 10 o’clock the report came that Littleton had been shot. Soon hundreds of people were making their way to the scone. As gathered from eye-witnesses, the facts appear to be about these: Mr. Littleton was coming from his home, on High street towards his office, and had got as far as the door of Howard Sebray, in Watkins institute, when he was halloed at from across the street, and at about the same time, the man who called FIRED FROM THE STEPS of a little brick house across the street. An other shot followed quickly, Mr. Littleton falling and crying “Oh, Lord!” several times. Mr. Littleton was walking along with his hands in his overcoat pockets, and as lie fell he drew his revolver, or it dropped from his pocket. Some witnesses declare that he fired once at Banks, but others affirm that he did not shoot at all. As Littleton fell, Banks stepped inside the door, got another double barreled shot gun and tired twice inorq. Lit tleton staggered to his feet and calling out, “Oh, you coward!” started back to his home. Mr. Daniel Ryan came to his assistance and helped him to the gate. Littleton’s strength almost failed him when lie came to the house, and ho nearly sank. The physicians and Father Delaney, of the Cathmic ehurch, were sent for. Mr. Littleton made his profession of the Catholic faith and was baptized by Father I telaney. As soen as the shooting was over. Banks walked rapidly down to Cumberland alley, got into a buggy and drove to the jail, where ho surrendered himself. On his way to the jail, he called Allen Hall, w ho was passing, and he accompanied him to the jail. Officer Hanley happened to come up at the jail and Banks surrendered to him. In the meantime an im mense crowd had gathered about Littleton’ home and the scene of the shooting. The house from which the shooting was done is an old brick building, with two rooms above and two below, one of the lower rooms being occu pied as a shoe shop. In the adjoining room Banks had awaited Littleton’s appearance since about four o’clock this morning. After a consultation Drs. W. L. Nichols, W. T. Briggs and C. L. Eve decided that the wounds w ere fatal, and that LITTLETON’S STATEMENT should be taken. Justice Mackenzie was summoned and Dr. Nichols said: “Mr. Littleton: Dr. Briggs and I consider your w ounds fatal, and I suppose you think you will not recover.” Mr. Littleton said in a firm voice; “Yes, sir; I know that I am badly hurt.” “I was walking up the street toward my office, and suddenly I heard a shot fired from behind me. Quick as thought, I felt a shock. That shot felled me to the ground and sud denly I realized that I had been wounded, and everybody said he would shoot me in the back. I was on the ground. I raised my head. I had a revolver, having been previously warned of the danger. My arm was filled with shot so that I could not use it. The suddenness of the shock caused me to fall. I looked and saw a man standing in the door, on the upper side of the street with a gun sighted at me. That num was Joe Banks. I said: ‘That is enough: don’t ure again.’ He fired two iiiore loads into my legs that shocked me. He shot me twice in the legs. My recollection is that FIVE SHOTS WERE UH:ED. I raised up and saw Joe Banks. He broke and ran. I said ’watch the cow ard run from a dead man.’ He ran around John Croek | roll’s house with a smoking gun in his hand. ; 1 got up and came down the street, and mcot iiig a gentleman asked him to assist me home. T’ <m 1 cried, ‘Oh nrv wife and child.’ He ga . * inc r:o warning. He tired twice while I w. .on the ground. I did not use my revolver. I col nut 11 a retime to get it out.” Justice MacKonzie then asked: “Air. Lit tleton, you make this statement, believing you are going to die.” Mr. Littleton replied: “Ido.” Mr. Littleton then sent for his wife and gave her directions for closing up his business mat ters, being very safely poised throughout. Banks was seen in jail but declined to be interviewed. He, however, denied shooting without warning, and said there were five shots, lour by himself and one Iron: Littleion. Each of the four barrels he Ifired contained sixteen buckshot. Os these perhaps forty entered Littleton’s body. The physicians pronounce Littleton’s wounds fatal beyond a doubt. Both tie n:en lire prominent republicans, but belong to different sections of the party. Ji: tiie roccnt municipal election Littleton was the republican nominee for mayor, but was bitterly opposed by the faction to which Banks belonged, and, although an independent dem ocrat drew largely from the democratic nomi nee's vote, Littleton was defeated. In the following issue of his paper—that of December 17—he published a long article containing se vere personal reilections upon some of the re publicans who took an active part in the anti- Kerclreval movement. In that article T. A. Kercheval, Frank T. Reid, J. R. Banks and I!. T. Gregory were especially mentioned, but the severest animadversion personal re flection were wade upon Kercheval and Banks. The reference to Mr. Banks was as follows: TIE OFFENSIVE ARTICLE. “But as to Joey Ba::k>. w hen did he got respccta Lie. ' He L.‘d a lot of financial triii>-a<-.io:>:> about Nashville,; v.

Ozark, Mo., December 24.—Almus Stone, of this city, returned from Stone county yes < terda v.and says that a deadly w arfare,is raging I near Galena, m that comity. Very little is I known of the stoiy of the feud, but it seems I that Hu- Terry brothers, five in number, living I near Maybury ferry, on White river, have for yi ars lielied the law and intimidated tire coni ' inunity. They have been chargeu with vari ! ous < rm: s, including l.orse stealing, and I finally a vigilance committee was organized to I drive them out of the county. Tire Terrys, i with their fliends, overawed the leaders oi lire regulating movement, and the outlaws held I their ground. Two weeks ago one of the Fer : rys wa-s shot from ambush and killed. Soon | after this one Weeks, a member of tire anti i Terry faction, was shot by an unknown 1 assassin. ; A few days after lire death of Weeks, Gar ' rett, a friend of the Terrys, was fired upon by Grant Wagner and William Ambrose, who i han secreted themselves behind a tree. Am ' brose was armed with a double-barreled I brcai’li-loaiiing shotgun, and Wagner with a i repeating Winchester rille. Garrett earned a | M inchesti'i' rille, and when fired upon by the I a;-m-difs, jumped from bis ho ire and took a position behind a tree and about forty-five , yards from Ambrose and Wagner. Tin- fight ' which ensued lasted about fifteen minutes, | during which time over twenty shots were ex ' changed. Wagner received two mortal wounds i and his .oily, Ambroee, tied, leaving Garrett muster oi tire field. Ai '.

The Cling Search of Two Brothers—The Result. Centre, Ala., December 24—[Special.]— The jury has brought in a verdict of "not guilty” in the case* of murder against Carroll Mcßee. Ju ItWi Mcßee’s father moved from Tennessee to Cedar Bluff, with his sou Carroll. Tire latter always estimated himself the best man In the comfnunity, and on reaching his new home and learning that one of the Hard wicks was the bully of the place, was anxious to fight him. Ho boasted of his ability to throw Hardwick in a wrestle. The boys urged him on and w ent to the village store, where young Hardwick and his brother Joe were found. Mcßee here repeated his boast, but Hardwick declined to enter such a test. Then Mcßee, turning to Joe Hardwick, who was sitting on the counter, said, “If I can not get Hardwick to wrestle with me 1 can throw his brother. In the at tempt Mcßee was thrown to the ground. Crestfallen, but si ill anxious to show his strength, ho attacked Joo again, with the same result. Mcßee then went out, mid, put ting his open pocket-knife up his sleeve, re turned and said: “You may be able to throw me, but you can’t whip me,” accoiupaning his words with what appeared to be a blow of the Jist. but really leaving behind a fatal knife stab. Mcßee ran to his horse, mounted it and rodo off. The other Hardwick gave pursuit, following him into Indian territory mid all over Hie west, finally, after twenty-one years, capturing him, and bringing him back to the scene of his crime. ♦ A Close Shave with a Ghoulish Gang of Eight. Men. Augusta, Ga., December 24.—[Special.]— An unsuccessful attempt was made nt 2 o'clock this a. m. by a gang of eight men to rob the negro cemetery of a dead body. The superin tendent, by some means, heard that there was n movement to rob the graves and stationed a guard concealed in the shrubbery to watch a newly made grave. At 2 o’clock’he observed eight men stealthily walking towards the very grave lie was watching. They lost no time, but commenced immediately to dig up the body. The guard waited some time, and then commenced crawling towards them. He got near enough to seize one of the party, but he quickly broke and all tied. The guard gave pursuit, and fired seven times at the fleeing ghouls, but without effect. On tiie outside they jumped into a spring wagon and quickly drove off. The guard., upon returning found their tools. He says it was very dark and lie couldn’t sec their faces, but ho thinks they were negroes. The negroes are very much ex cited over the occurrence,and if the guilty par ties are found, there will probably bo an at tempt made to lynch them.

Not being on speaking terms, Riley was insulted, and some words passed, and upon which Hendry push ing him, Riley drew his pistol and shot him. The ball went through the lungs and one through the bowels. Hendry sank rapidly and is now dead. In the excitement Riley walked away, and is still at large.

David halted Stew art with a gun cocked and required him to stand, and at the same time saying to his brother Ben “lay it on.” Ben did lay it on and Stewart stood still. One of our most prominent citizens was on the field and saw the whole occurrence and describes the cracking of tire wip like unto that of a pack of fire crackers when the main fuze is on fire. The crowd stood still and no one interfered. Mr. Stewart, when he. was let go, cried like a child and as soon as possible Heil, not with a mark about his brow but with marks from the iop of his hat to the iict l of his shoe.

Granger, makes the following statement: “On Tuesday morning, tire 20th inst., my mate and crew boarded the schooner D.and F. Kelly fifty miles east of Cape Henlopen, and found the captain lying dead under the lazaret and not burled at sea, as published. There were finger marks on his throat and several bruises on bis head. His pockets had been ransacked and some of them torn. Nothing remained in his pockets but the tow bill.whieli had been paid at Norfolk.

Faiimkksville, La., December 20.—The difficulty between Judge Trimble and Mr. Ramsey yesterday, which resulted in tlio death of both, grew up as follows: At a mass meeting held at FhMnersvillo, on November Bth, Ramsey made a speech, in which ho sharply ciiticisod the Farmersville Gazette for publishing injurious statements concerning Governor Nicholls’s official conduct, and for refusing to correct them when proofs of their falsity were presented. The Gazette, of which Judge J. E. Trimble was editor, in its next issue assailed tiie moral character of Ramsey. Ou the 18th of November Ramsey published, in the Farmersville Advocate, a card signed by a number of citizcnsof Farmersville,certifying to his high-moral rectitude and integrity, and at the same time lie announced the tact that by reason of his conscientious scruples Ire was prevented from appealing to the dueling code to wash out the affront put upon him by Editor Trimble. The matter seems to have remained in this condition until the two men had a chance meeting Monday evening, when the fatal altercation took place. Immediately after the shooting last evening, the coroner empaneled a jury and held an examination over tiie body of James A. Ramsey, and after taking tire testimony of witnesses a verdict was rendered “that said Ramsey came to bis death by a pistol shot from tire hands of J. E. Trimble.” The corc-jer and jury proceeded to hold an inquest over the body of Judge J. E. Trimble, and, after the examination of several wit nesses, adjourned until tills morning, when a verdict was rendered, “That J. E. Trimble came to his death by being shot by parties un known.” Tlio bodies o f the men wore removed to their homes after the inquest. In examining Ram sey’s remains it was found that hehad received one shot near tlio hip anil another in tho heart, which caused his immediate death. A pistol fully loaded was found in his pocket. Judge Trimble was shot in both arm and tho leit temple. Both men fell in close proximity to each other. Judge Trimble's revolver contained two empty cbaiiilrers. Tho fnneraiof tho deceased took place this afteinoon, Judge Trimble be ing buried by tire Knights of Honor and Ram say by the knights of Pythias. Judge Trim ble loaves a widow uml seven children. Mr. ftainsay was a prominent lawyer, deacon of the Baptist church and president of the Bap tist Bunday school. He h aves a widow and two young children. Both mon are sadly missed by tire community at large, as well us by their relatives. HpM, I. Terrible Murder all for Money. Troy, Now York, December 19. -S. S. Crandell, formerly a lawyer ami real estate broker in Troy, today shot his wife, his moth er-in-law, Mrs. S. S. Stone; his step-danj'hter, Julia Bulkioy, and himself, at their Lome in Ballston Spa. All are dead but the wife, ami she is dying. The parties had a controversy over money matters. His wife waa tho di vorced wife of Crandell’s former lv'/ai a.s.?o ciute. Crandell was once a candidate for sheriff in Washington county, and defeated. IL; was extravagant in his habits. His wife had money, and the quarrel was over its con trol. The place known n.s the ‘‘Colonel Baker place” was bought by Mrs. Stone about a year ago. Her family consisted of Mrs. Stone, her sisters, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Crandell and her daughter by a former marriage, and her son in-law Crandeli. Mr . Stone was about G2years old. Her husband died several years ago, leaving a large properly. The daughter re fused to accept any property whiL her mother was alive. The daughter, .Julia V. tTanddll, was «’7 years old. It is said that Crandell rep resented himself to be wealthy and worth 4 H),- (XX), and finally manied Mrs. BnlUey. Their married life had been unhappy. The family, except Mrs. Ellis, were at the table eating br<‘akfu t when Crandell began the shooting. Tiie ladies ran from the table to the kitchen and he ran after them, firing across the room.
