Atlanta, Aug. 25.—Capt. H. 0.
King, a well known mechanical
engineer and inventor, was shot
and killed by Alex Carr, a young
man formerly in his employ, after
3 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
The killing, which from the best
evidence of eye witness and obtain
able from others who were ac
quainted with the circumstances
leading up to the tragedy, was a
deliberate murder, occured .on
Broad street just in front of the
office of the Chattahoochee River
Brick Company, which office King
has made his headquarters re
cently.
Carr fired five shots at his vis
tin, four of them taking effect,
After he had emptied his pistol,
shooting three times after King
fell, Carr threw the smoking wea
pon at him and walked off up the
street.He was arrested, how how
ever, before he got a block dis
tant. Carr was laboring under in
tense excitement when take jo
charge by the policeman. He was
trembling like a leaf in the wind,
having grasped a telephone r ole
for support.
The killing was the resu’t of a
quarrel between t. e two men oyer
SSO which Carr claimed King ow
ed him. According to Carr’s state
ment after being taken to the po
lice station he had been employed
b King in the management of a
su’phur mine near Villa Rica. A
couple of weeks ago King left with
out paying him the amount due
being SSO. Carr came on to At
lanta to collect the money. This
morning he met -King and they
bad hot words about the matter.
Later in the day Carr was seen
on Decatur streit with his brother
and a railroad man named Bailey.
He bought a pistol for $1.50 and
put it in his side coat pocket. It
was visible to a friend whom he
met who asked him what he was
going to do with it Carr replied
that he was going to kill a big rat
tlesnake aud put it on exhabition.
Carr and Bailey who has been
arrested as an accessory were to
gether when they came face to
face with King who was emerging
from the Chattahoochee Brick
Company’s office.
Carr made another demand for
his money. He claims that King
had a pistol in his hand and was
about to shoot him win n be began
firing. Bailey also asserts that
King had a pistol, though none
was found upon him when he was
HO ft VP Fl (-‘fl
J. B. Jaques, foreman of S. W.
Postell’s printing office, next to
the Chattahoochee Brick Com
pany’s office, saw' the meeting be
tween the men, but did not see
King with a pistol.
Bailey protests innocence of any
complicity in the affair. He says
that he had loaned Carr SSO and
was along with him urging him
to get his money from King and
repay him.
When Carr fired the first shot the
muzzle of his pistol was close up to
King’s breast. The killingcreated
great excitement. Threats of
lynching Carr were freely made.
Capt. King is an old resident.
He is connected with some of the
best families, He leaves a wife and
several children. He was taken to
the Grady Hospital after the shoot

SOLOMON BARBER
...i— ■ ■w.
Was the Name of the Eightteen
Year Old Bov
MURDERED AT SENEY
His Brother came down from
Walker County Yesterday,
Indentlfied his Cloth
ing and gave Officers
Valuable C'ues.
At last the identity of the young
man, murdered at Seney on June
18th last, has been established.
His name is Solomon Barber and
his home was in Walker county.
Yesterday forenoon a young faim r
giving his name as Lester Barber
and claiming to be a citizen of
Walker county, came to the city
following a chew that he thought
would lead him to the grave of his
18 year old brother who disappear
ed in or near Rome on or about
June 18thr.
Mr. Barber says that about that
time he brought his brother in a
buggy to within eleven miles of this
'•ily and that when ho turned his
borses heads homeward his brothers
back was in the same direction, while
with lusty s.rides, brim full of energy
born of youth, hope and early' ambi
tion, the manly bey was shortening
the distance between the parting
p'ace and Rome.
He says bis brother ba I worked on
tbe old farm in ' Walker for a few
months, but left to go to bis own
home or permanent working place
in Pauld’’•g county
Debuty Sheri f, J. P. McConnel ,
car ed the young miu to see Mr.
Schlapback," at t-.e Morris Bottling
Works on Fifth Ave. where he in
s'ant’y identified the 'crush hat
which had been worn by the murd
ered man
Mr. McConnell then carried the
young farmer out to Coroner Dren
non’s residence where be eae-'ly
identified the c’othing, handkerchief
and other artic’.es found c'u the body
of the stranger, as the property of
bis missing brother
Mr' Barber says that his brother
was about 18 years of age, and was
of good habits. His father is long
since dead and his mother has
married again.
He returned, to his home in
Walker county, but will come to
Rome next week and perhaps re
move the body to the little ceme
tery so familiar to Solomen Bi r
ber’s boyhood.
Mr. Barber gave Deputy Mc-
Connell some valuable clews which
will materialy aid in trailing down
the things who spared not the life
of th ■ youthful stranger.
