Smoke Xtra Good And Rebel Yell ( SISTERS HONOR to be Sacrificed to save 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 > was too high to insure him ilegal ■ trial in Butler county.
