EAGER HIROR HAI TS TRIM
TO HEAR NEWS OF VOTE
ST I.GUIS, July 2 Thomas Stan
ton, formerly a justice of the peace in
Fast St Louis interrupted the trial
of a damage suit in Justice of the Peace
John C. Brady’s court long enough to
go to a telephone and learn the re
sult "f the balloting in the Democratic
national convention at Baltimore.
Stanton, who is an ardent Clark
booster, was serving on the jury. He
told Justice Brady he "just could not
get his mind on the case” until he had
learned whether Speaker Clark had
been nominated.
Court was adjourned "0 minutes for
Stanton to get the desired informa
tion.
Ist is to appear on the floor of either
house w hlle a session is on. This is
intended to knock out the old game of
getting to a legislator's desk with a
whispered conveisation just before the.
vote on a measure is taken.

SHOT IN STRANGE
NIGHT FIGHT IN
OFFICE
R. Z. Upchurch Dangerously
Wounded Emmett Hight.
Realty Dealer. Held,
■R. Z.’ Upchurch, chief clerk of the
Georgia Fruit exchange, and living at
91 Sumnjit avenue, was shot and badly
wounded in a mysterious fight in the
' Walton building at 3 o’clock this morn-
ing.
Emmett Hight, a prominent real es
tate man. of 90 Peachtree circle, and
a member of the Transportation club, is
<ocked up at the police station charged
with the shooting. The bullet was fired
into Upchurch’s body at such close
range that his coat was burned by the
powder flash, entered his side just be
low the heart and passed out at the
back.
The surgeons at Grady hospital will
perform an operation upon him today
Fight to Get
Possession of Pistol.
Neither Hight, nor Upchurch have
talked freely of the strange shooting,
but. according to the account given the
police by Night Watchman L. M. John,
son of the Walton building, who was
Jocked up before he would talk, the
fight came simply because Hight want
ed to go home.
The two men were drinking in the
offices of the Georgia Fruit exchange
with Johnson and one other man.
Johnson had introduced them and Up
■ hurch was urging his new acquaint
; once to sample the rve again. Hight
' refused. A wordy quarrel arose, during
: which Hight says that Upchurch made
i rush at him and hit him in the face
■ lie says he fell to tfie ’floor and that
while he lay there Upchurch kicked him
in the face. He staggered to his feel
drew a pistol from his pocket and both
men grappled in a struggle for its pos
i pssion. Johnson says they fought des
perately and silently in the dimly light
ed offices for five minutes. Then sud
| lenly the pistol went off and Upchurch
i dropped to the floor with blood stream-
I ing from the gaping wound in his side.
Wounded Man
Hides the Truth.
The other men summoned an ambu
lance and lie was taken to Grady hn«-

i Jones, and declared that he had been
I shot by a pistol which dropped from
his desk and exploded as it fell upon
the floor. When the -policemen showed
Upchurch the powder burns upon his
coat he changed the statement and said
a man had fired the bullet, but that he
did not know the man and had never
met him before last night.
Then the police went over to the scene
of 'he shooting in the Walton building
They came upon Night Watchman
Johnson, who admitted that he had
been presen' during the affair, but
swore that he wouldn't tell anything
about it He was hustled over to a
cell at police headquarters, and lock
'd up. He was later released when h*
decided to make a statement, but the
police still believe there is much more
I of the affray to he explained.
i Meanwhile a search was being made
j for Hight. He was finally found bad
| iy bruised about the face, in the care
| of doctors at the Elkin-Goldsmith sani
tarium. One of his eyes is completely
closed, the other is badly discolored and
there Is a great gash down the side of
his cheek. He told the police that he
had been drinking with Upchurch in
the offices of the fruit exchange, anel
that Upchurch had suddenly knocker!
him down and kicked him. He said hr
did not remember anything after tha'
Hight is charged with assault with
intent to murder. His friends say tha'
his plea will be self defense.
Both Upchurch and Hight are well
known in business and club circles of
Atlanta Both are married and each
