MUCH TALK OF HOMICIDE! 1IAIC1US IS UKMKD BAIIj Role Topic of Conversation In Dur liam 1m tho Incident or SiUurady Night Wherein .1. B. llarrla In stantly Killed Maynartl I-'. Jo by Kliootlllg II lm While In Stor Har rlH fiurreiwlered HrnvsHf to Ofllcern and la la Jail Seems Certain That Trouble of IxMig Standing Caused Uie HomlHde Tlireo ramllies In terested. Special to The Observer, Durham, Dec. 4. -There lias buen very uttle discovered In the homicide case in which Maycard K. tioss was Instantly killed on Saturday iiIkM by J H. Harris. It Is clear that the leml man went Into the store for trouble It is equally clear that the man who .lid th- shooting was expecting tSouble. The trouble occurred. One man is Jead and the other Is In tho county Jail without bond, awaiting his trial on the present rharg of murder. CAUSES FOR THK KILIvlNO. There waa very little aald when the killing wua committed. The evidence ao far la that Goaa went into the store and went direct to Harris. There is also evidence that he placed his hand in his hip pocket, and It was then ihut Harris bred the fatal shot. This Is nearly all that Is known about the shooting. Two people who live In ihe country were there trading. They heard Ooss ask Harris to go out of the bouse, that he wanted to spesk to him. They also heard Harris say that he would not go, and then they say that the quarrel be tween the two was such that they shied to one side, (earing trouble. They had their back wn (loss, but they saw Harris aa he drew Ids pistol from his pocket and the shot whs tired, the powder burning one of the men's faces. They did not see Ooss. who was In the rear of them. The clerks saw Ooss as he placed his hand to his hip pocket and the shot was tired.. This completer the story so ! far as the scene of the death tragedy was concerned. ALL KINDS OP" STORIES. There are all kinds of stories as to what brought about this trouble. The autopsy under thu direction of tha Coroner was held on Saturday night and the coroner's Inquest yesterday after noon. The coronar's Jury found an a fact that J. B. Harris killed M. F. C oas, 'and he was committed without ball. In the meantime he had surrendered to iolice officers, this being Immediately after tha shooting, and he waived examination be fore Mayor Oranam and was committed to Jail. There are stories that Harris had written notes that were of an insulting nature to Mrs. M. F. Ooss and it was this that Closs resented. There Is an other story that Harris, who was cry of the room bosses at the Durham Hosiery Mill, had discharged Mrs, Ooss. who formerly worked there and that he did this In such a manner as to caueo her to get mad nnd this brought about thu trouble. There Is no doubt that there had been trouble between the two for seversl months, probably a year or more. One witness before the coroner's Jury swore that some three weekj ago floss entered tla store and. being asked if there was anything that could be done for him. he answered that there waa not and then turning to Harris, who was close by. a.-ilil. 'There Is the damn scoundrel I want to sfe," and added oth er vile names Harris at that time walked away nnd left (loss, going to tho ofTlee In the hoe store. After that Ooss was persuaded to go swar. Artcr tins occurrence, so far as can i now re learned. Harris did two thlnss: He left tie town to look for a position and ho .ilso ordered a pistol. This pis tol nrr'ved here Friday afternoon and the first shot that was ever fired from It, so far us .an now be ascertained, was one thnt meant death to Ooss. BOLICITOH WILJ, BEND IN HIM,. The coroner's Jury found the facts of the shooting and sent 12 witnesses before Solicitor llrooks to-day, thla being dona so that the solicitor would not have so much trouble In getting the facts. It Is learned from the solicitor to-day that he will send a bill to-morrow morning and the trial will be decided upon later. It la hardly prohahlo that the trial before the .liny will take place at thla term of court Thai Is to ho decided after the grand Jury has passed on the matter. Almost Immeilistely after the killing friends of Harris employed the firm of Winston A Hryant to appear for the de fendant They closed his mouth and lie hss been relhent since then, refusing to make any statement whatsoever. The attorneys for the prisoner were asked for a statement to-day and at one time said that thev would give a statement, outlin ing the position taken by their client at the time of ihe shooting. Then It occur red that tbe trial might come un thla week and the counsel said that they would not give nut anything at this time. The homicide has been all the talk of Durham ro-day even more than It was yesterday. There sre three families; ln-volved-lh" (losses, the Harrlaaes and then the Woods Ooss having married a Miss Woods. They all have their story of the affair, but they are not talking for publication In a few words, however, the tragedy wss the result pf some long-standing trouble and the members of the thrae families were riol much surprised when It occurred. There la a probability that the case may be tried thla week. Superior Court Convene at Aahcvllh, Special to Tho Observer.
