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 Texas Daily Advocate, May 31. Citation* Georgia, Dade County. J). K.
