And When the Conduotor Ordered
Him Inside the Coach He
Pulled His Pistol and
Fired.
Conductor Marion Laltimore of the
Southern Railway was Aot by a negro
Buuday erolling about It o’clock, at and
died a few hours later,
- Ths shooting occurred about a mile
north of the (our mile crossing, but the
sasrdett/r who was on the train at the
time of the shooting, did not jump off
until the alack up at tha Dock Junction
'track. Several stones of the shooting
am being circulated and on account of
excitement, and few eye wt incases, the
facts leading up to the shootinu were
hard to obtain.
Front all accounts the negro got on
Conductor Lattlmore's train at Everett
and was discovered stveral miles the
other side of the crot-lug. Mr. Latti
more saw him and told Mm to come in
side the car, but be shook his heal and
would not move. The second attempt
Was made to get him inside when he
fired on the defenseless man. The
murderer was between the engine and
baggage car when be was discovered
and at the lime the fatal shot was tired.
Conductor Latlimore, as soon a> the
report of the pistol was heard, fell back
and into the arms of baggage master
William Brack. His only exclamation
was “Oh Lord" and he then became
unconscious. Latsr he revival, opened

engineer made a quick run t> the city,
and the news created great ex< It, merit.
The dying man was carried to his home ,
on G atrset, where be expired just lee- {
fore 3 o’clock. As soon as Ur. Bur- :
ford sew tbe unfortunate mao be said
there was no hope for him. Tbe bul
let entered the abdomen and made an
awful wound. Huodreda of Bruor
wlekians rushed to the depot In hopes
of getting there In timi to go w ith
.erlff Berrie and hie posse, but all
reached there too late. The sheriff, ac
companied by Deputy B. 8. Pyles, Offi-
CcrScei lett and A .0. Townsend bad left
a few minutes before. A rush was then
made for the Mvery stables and every
borne available hired, and before nine
/clock a large force of well armed and

reached and the tracks ol the murderer
were found, but without -dogs nothing
could be done. A report then tame to
the force to the effect that the county
dogs hadNnea scut for and all patient
ly waited for several hours. It was
then learned that this rumor was untrue
and the crowd returned to tbecity.
The sheriff have also
returned to the city, and at present
ooly the country people .and officers ol
adjoining counties are after the^smon.
TheJ county dogs were about twenty
miles from) the scene of the shooting
and were not'sent for at all. A tele*
g am waa tent to {Sheriff Lvnes, o'
Wayne coun'y, for dogs and he arrived
yesterday morning, went to the cross
ing but the dogs .only followed tho mur
derer’s traii a short distance.
As soon as be jumped from the train
the assa.-sin must have ran for the
woods, went a short distance but re
turned to the track and here the hounds
could not follow the. trail as It was
then twelve or fourteen hours old.
There seems now but littlej hopes ol
capture as the man bag had a long time
In which to get away.
With a good; bloodhound there k ♦-
doubt but that thej|posse {which t
Brunswick on horseback would \ e
been successful in their hunt.
Several names have been given the
negro by those who claim to know
him. Same say his name is Stewart,
others assert that it is Frye, but all
descriptions stem to be the same.
Marion Lattimore, the dead man,
was well known sod universally liked.
Ilis fatber and bimself conducted tbe
old Ooean hotel in this city tome
years ago Later, tbe deceased ac
cepted a position on the Southern
railway and removed to Atlanta, but
returned to Brunawick with bia family
a few weeka ago. His wife was form
erly Miss Dollie Clark, daughter of
Capt. Clark, and siater olWr George
Clark. Two little children, a boy and
a girl, are made fatherless by this ter
rible desperado’s deed.
Shortly after 3 p, m., Sunday, this
loving husband and devoted father
left bis dsvoted family, and within
tbrse short boors he was brought back
oDly to dis. Is is, indeed, a sad story,
The body of’tbe unfortunate man
