PROF. J. G. JACOWAY
KILLED YESTERDAY
SHOT FIVE TIMES BY 808
LONG AT THE HOME OF C.
CAMPBELL ON GRA
HAM STREET.
Prof. J. G. Jacoway, principal
of the third watd public school was
shot and killed \e terday morning
at the home of C. C. Campbell,
513 Graham street, at 10 o’clock,
by Mr. Bob Long, the only son of
J. M. Long of this city.
The news of the killing of Prof.
Jacoway spread with great rapidity
over the entire city and every one
heard with sorrow the account of
the sudden death of the man who
was held in such high esteem as a
citizen and an educator. So far as
the Advocate has been able to learn
thedetails of the unfortunate affair
are about as follows:
Prof. Jacoway had business yes
terday morning between nine and
ten o’clock at the third ward school
He left his home which has been
at the Chester hoarding house on
North Mill street, taking with him
his little fifteen months old daugh
ter. He went from the Chester
house to the home of Mr. C. C.
Campbell, on Graham street and
there left his little child in the
care of members of the Campbell
family while he transacted his
business affairs at the school build
ing. The reason for leaving his
baby at the home of Mr. Camp
hell was because the two families
were on extremely intimate terms,
Mr. and Mrs. Jacoway havii g
boarded there for several months
immediately after their marriage.
After going to the school build
ing, the baby became fretful and a
messenger was dispatched tor Mr.
Jacoway telling him that the child
was not doing well and for him to
return and take charge of ih Thi
Mr. Jacoway did, and t<f er goin
into the front ro >m of tl e Camp
bell residence, picked tip his Lab.
in his arms and talked to Prof.
Brecheen ovei the telephone abou
some matters per aiuitig to tin
work of the coming ses ion of the
tri-county normal. Mr. Campbell
was present in the room with Mr.
Jacoway and after he had finished
his conversation o\er the telcphoi e
he dismissed his guest and wniit
into the kitchen of his home on
private business. As Mr. Camp
bell passed from his front loom
to the kitchen he saw Bob Long
going out of the east door of the
kitchen with a pitcher of mi!k in
hisoand. By the time Bob Long
had reached a spet near the east
gate of the Campbell lesidence,
Mr. Jacoway Lad also arrived at
about the same spot, the two men
evidently intending to pass out
that way. Mr. Campbell heaid
shots fir* and and hunied to his hack
door, thinking it was s one 01 e
shooting a dog. N t finding any
thing wrong there he returned and
looked out into his ast yard aid
saw Bub Long standing over tin
dead body of J. G. Jacoway
pounding him on the head w\ h
the pistol wiih which he had ju-si
killed him.
Mr. Jacoway was sho five tunes
with a 38 calibre Smitn & Wesson
revolver. Bob Long who did to*-
shooting left the scene of the mur
der and went directly to the oHi c
iof Justice of the Peace \\ . F.
Boyett, to whom he surrender'd.
’ Justice Boyett went to the Camp
bell lesidence and viewed the hod)
immediately after the ki ling and
| eluded the inquest yesterday af
! tern non with the following testi
moiy.
Kelly W iliams testified as fol
lows: 1 kne w Bob Long and J.
G. Jacoway. I was within about
twenty feet of where they w* ie
when the killing took place. Bub
Long came from the hack end of
Mr. Campbells house with a pitcher
of milk in jiis hand and passed
through the front vard on the east
walk in front ql Mr,
When he got within six or eight
feet of Jacoway, he reached into
his poci<et and dyow a pistol, sliij
going towards Jacoway. He fired
just at this time and Mr. Jacoway
dropped his baby, and jumped at
Boh, and Bob kept on shooting and
Jacoway caught hold of Bob’s left
sideandthen fell, after scuffling
back about six feet. Bob, after
Mr. Jacoway fell, commenced to
heat him over the head with the
pistol. I heard Bob Long say after
he walked aw T ay, when Mr. Camp
bell asked: l4 My God, Bob, wh;.t
have >ou done?” M He has peise
cuted my sister until I am sick arid
tired,’* and then he walked away
towards town.
Ir will be seen from the above
statement that when the shooting
commenced Mr. Jacoway was
holding his little baby in his arms
and after the first shot, which in
flicted a wound in his arm, he had
prespnce of mind enough to reach
to one sid* and place the little girl
upon t he ground and then grappled
with the man who was endeavor
ing to put an end to his life. Ac
cording to the statements of those
who talked with the reporter about
the killing, the garments of the
fifteen months old baby girl of Mr.
and Mrs. Jacoway were covered
with the blood of it’s father, when
it was picked up by Kelly Wil
liams, and later carried to it’s
mother by another person.
Mr. C. C Campbell at w- ose
home the killing took place testi
fied as follows:
‘ I know J. G. Jacoway and Boh
Long. I was in my house and
heard shots fired out in my front
yard. I stepped to my hack door
to spe what it was. 1 thought it
was some one shooting a dog. 1
saw Mr. Jacoway on the ground
directly east of my house and Bob
Long standing over him, striking
him over the head wi4h something
that 1 imagined to be a pistol. He
struck Mr. Jacoway two times over
the head after I saw them. I went
out to Mr. Jacoway and Long
passed out of my yard and went
up the street east. Mr. Long had
been to my hou e to get a pitcher
of butler milk. He had s/cured
the milk and passed out of- the
east door of the kitchen, which is
the south room of my residence.
Mr J. coway was in the trout room
of my hoo>e when Mr. Long came.
Long came in through the hack
and or. When 1 s.i\v Jacoway < n
the ground the baby was fifteen or
twenty fe- t away from him. 1 did
not hear either one of them say
anything before the shooting. I
aske i Long, “In the name of God
what do \ou mean?” lie said,
‘He has mistreated my sister.” 1
heard four or five Shots in all. 1
think four shots took effect in the
body and one or two in the arm.
think there were three shots in
th j regi n of the head.
afte- th* ki ling Miss
L• e Long, a sister of Bob l ong
and a teacher in the same school
with Prof. Jacoway, called at the
court 1 ouse and held a confer? nee
with County Attorney Lattimore,
Cipt. J.F. McMurry being present.
Mr. Lattimer repeated the inter
view ; 8 follows:
Miss Long stated that Inßt
Thursday night she talked with
her brother Boh about being trans
ferred from the third waid school
to another ward, and told him that
Jacoway had gone before the
hoard, and Superinten dent Wooten
and told them he would not teach
in the third ward if she taught
then-*, and it was through his
‘knocking” thar sin was to be
tranfcfeired. She tuld him -she
would have to go through cold
weather and eat c Id i> neh for
dinner and would have to walk
fartlc rto teach school. Miss Long
said that h r brother Lob said, “He
m i-t tin ok you have a conn in pi
hi cur ior a brother.’* She stale*
f-ifth r ’hat she never thought
••bout Hob taking it <0 seii< u-dv or
g ie \ ould not 1 av-s told him. Last
ye r Mbs Long alleg s that Prof.
J .cowav went before the board and
t r i dto have her trans'erred, but
fail and and has since acknowledged
to her that she had greater '.influ
ence vv it 1 the board than he had
believed.
In conclusion Mr- Lat mu.ic.told
Mss Lo/ig that hed-i.ii u t c--e to
know ,#n ; t iiug ut the * alia it
except facts, and asked her if the
school matter was all there was that
could have caused the killing, to
which she replied that “this is all
that could have caused the trouble.
Mr. Lattimore also says that the
pistol with which the killing was
done belonged to Miss Long. It
is a 38 Smith & Wesson.
After Bob Long had surrendered
to the officials he remained in the
office of Justice Boyett for some
time. He stated while there in
waiting that he had told Prof.
Jacowav live months ago ‘‘to let
his sister alone.’’ These are the
only direct words that have fallen
from the lips of the man who did
killing since it happened that
have any connection with the
affair, unless he has made a state
ment to his attorneys.
Justice of the Peace Boyett con
cluded the inquest proceedings late
yesterday afternoon and rendered
his verdict to the effect that Prof.
Jacow'ay came to his death at the
hands of Bob Long, death being
inflicted by pistol wounds,
Alter lie was killed the body of
Mr. Jacoway was searched and no
weapon of any description was
found in his possession.
Constable Granville Matthews
signed the complaint ehaigingßob
Long with the murder of J. (x.
Jacoway, and the defendant was
placed in jail to await his examin
ing trial, which will be held some
time next w T eek.
Pro!. Jacoway came to Paris
about eight years ago from Fannin
county. He was employed on com
ing to this city as principal of tlm
third ward or Graham s reet pubi c
public school and was recognized
by his :acquaintances and tin se fa
miliar witli school work to he one
of the ablest educators of the
south. He taught the public
school at Winoom and also served
in the city school.-at Bonham prior
to coming to Pars. A few yeass
ago he was married at (Ui ittanooga
Tennessee to Mrs. Ayres, and
since coming here Mrs Jacowav
has ill ade a host of ‘timid.- who
deeply sympathize with her in her
hour of3 trouble. Mrs. Jaco vay
has had more ilian her share of
trouble. Her first husband was
kdled in a railroad wreck and lor
young son was accidently kill'd a
short time before her marriage to
Mr. Jacoway.
Mr. Jacoway was a member of
the Engles, Odd Fellows and K. of
P’s. His friends were numbered
by the thousands. He was loyal
to his friends and his death will be
regretted by every person who
him.
It seems from the statement of
Miss Long that the killing is the
outcome ot school affairs with
which Mr Jacoway and she wore
connected. She also numbers her
friends in Paris by the seore and
it is a source of regret that such a
calamity should have happened.
The body of Prof. Jacoway* re
mained on the spot where be fell
until after it was viewed by Jus
tice Boyett, alter which it was
taken in charge by the J. \V. Rod
geis underiak i g establishment,
embalmed and prepared tor ship
ment. It will be carried to the
Ghester house some time dining
thi morning where it will remain
until <he hour of depart lire —Paris
