A BROTHER
MURDERER GAFFORD
Has Been Set For Trial For
Next Friday.
Greenvi le. Al i., Fab. 1. —The
eye? of Alabama will be turned on
the proceeding! of the circuit
court of Butler county this week,
at which John Gafford will either
conv nee a jury of his peers that
he was justifi d in the killing of
the Hon. Francis Bartow Lloyd
or be adjudged guilty of one o! the
feu'est murders which has ever
disgraced Alabama.
On the side of the law th' re is
a deeper seu'itnent than the mere
prosecuti >1 of a criminal Bart
Lloyd, fam; ILrly known as “Ru
fus Sander.-.” was beloved by a
wide and influential acquaintance.
On the side of h s slayer, there
is a dark gulf <_ f a missp°nt life of
violen -e to be crossed, before the
def use can hope to turn the pop
ular t de of resentment which the
death of his victim caused to
flood.
The death of L’ord was accom
plished about G o’clock on the
evenir gos August 25, 1897, ir a
luiely oak grove three miles from
Greenville. L oyd had left the
town in a buggy t > return to his
home, w ich whs five miles out.
Though some point of honor,
which :s known only to Gaffo d
the latter had warned Lloyd to he
armed when he sh< u'd meet him
What pass'd between the men i
is known only to Gifford. He 1
claims than on ma ting Lloyd he i
demanded an explanation of
Lloyd’s conduct toward his (Gat- <
(ord’s sister, and that the deceased
at once drew his pistol.
Gafford according to his own
statement there being not a sin
gle eye-wi’ness to the killing, then
shot Lloyd with both barre's, of a
shotgun. Frank D iniel and Eirle
Lewis, two young men who
were r ding out on the same road
from Greenville were the first to
reach the spot.
Gafford stepped in front of them
and said: “1 have just shot Bart
Lloyd, shot him with bo h barrels.
You had bet'er see after his con
dition at once. ”
Proceeding to the place indicat
t d by Gafford , the two young men
found Lh-yd dead, covered with
blood and laterally r dd ed about
the head and upper portion of the
body with shot.
Horrorstrickt n they made their
way back to 'own and on their re
port a posse was formed with dogs
to hunt down the slayer of the
man who, it is no exaggeration to
say, had been the idol of the con
str nency he represented in the Al
abama legislature. Gafford rr
■ rnaiti’d in hiding that night bt
( gave himself up to Sheriff Sha*"
; the following day and was im/e
--j dia-tely tak-n to M outgo *>7
' com ty jail, as popular f-Hng
