! DISPUTE OVER
ROAD RESULTS IN
SHOOTING AFFRAY
GEORGE BAKER, COLORED,
HOSPITAL, AND JAMES
CARROLL IN JAIL
George Baker, colored, driver of
a truck for the City Transfer Com¬
pany, is at the City hospital in a ser¬
ious condition as the result of gun
shot wounds inflicted yesterday at
noon on the Savannah Highway by
James Carroll, young white man, son
of a contractor on the work on the
Broadfield road.
According to statements made by
witnesses, Baker, who was driving ti
truck to the city, was met by Carroll,
and a companion. It scents that there
was some dispute as to the roadway
allowed by each of the drivers. After
some words, Carroll is alleged t<
have gone to a nearby grocery store
and grabbing a shotgun, followed
Baker for some distance, finally over¬
taking him in the vicinity of the box
factory, and fired on him with both
barrels of the gun.
It was thought that Baker was kill¬
ed, as he fell from the seat of thf
truck in an unconscious condition.
The negro was rushed to the City
hospital, where his condition at mid¬
night was said to be critical.
Chief of Police Register, Sheriff
Pyles, and Horace Symons, soon after
the shooting, went in quest of Car
roll, their search extending' to Da
rien, where the officers were joined
by Deputy Sheriff Johnson, of McIn¬
tosh county. After a thorough scour¬
ing of the woods and fields, Carroll
was finally located in the Altamaha
swamps ten miles from Darien.
He is occupying a cell in the Glynn
county jail, and it is not improbable
that the charge or murder will be en¬
tered against him, as Baker is said
to be in a critical condition.
