Conductor Hedrick "Shoots Down Flag man Whlttaker. ; Shooter Surrenders. , - .... t - Oli last Friday afterooon! Spen cer was;in the throes of excFfce- ment on account of a killing which occured in the rear of the store of the Spencer Clothing and "Shoe Company. It is stated there was- no quar rel between the men at the time of the shootingr Whittaker was in the store purchasing some arti cles, when Conductor- Hedrick and his wife came m. When Hedrick saw the other man he at once drew his pistol, Whittaker ran through the store in order to escape by the rear en traced Hed rick followed "him and shot and killed him .just after he had got outside of the store. After the - 4 j shooting Hedrick went to his home aud stated that he wanted to sur render to the 'officers.: Sheriff Julian, j who was at once notifiec of the killing, sent out deputies Kriderand Rice to arrest Hedrick: They found the latter at his home waiting for themr &nd he was placed under arrest- and brought to Salisbury. Conductor Hed rick onlhis arrival here, retained! Overmanand Gregory and Clem ent and Clement to take charge of his -case. , It is reported that the; plea of Hedrick will be that he killed Whittaker in self defense, as the latter is said to have drawn a pistol at the time Hedrick did. The shooting was caused, so it is stated, by the attentions ot 4 Whittaker to Mrs. Hedrick, Thja-elain man, G. C. Wbitta- ker, wa? a flagm a n on the South ern between Monroe and Spencer, and was from Pilot Mountain, N. C. Conductor Hedrick is from 9 ' Davidson county, and some years ag was employed in a store in this city. While here he killed Adolphus Shaping, but he was acquitted by a jury on the ground of self defense. Coroner Dorsett held an inquest over tne remains ot VVnittaker. the jury rendering a'verdict to the effect that the deceased met his death at the hands of Hedrick. Witnesses at the inquest testified that as Hedrick fired his last shot, he remarked, "I guess you are dead." The prisoner was com mitted to jail without bond. W. P. Dorton and J. P. Biggs, who were in the Btore of the Spencar Clothing and Shoe Company when the two men met, and John H. Harris and R. B. Gobble, who saw the latter part of the affair, were the only wit nesses examined. Their testimo ny is the same in substance as the account of the killing published above. H. F. Whittaker, of Pilot Mountain, the father of the slain lit - - v 'm ' i man, will employ counsel to as sist in tue prosecution, so it is stated. The remains were ship-' ped to the former home of the deceased Saturday morning. It developed at the inquest that the deceased received several bul let jvounds. One entered the back, near the shoulder and penetrated the body, this wound of .itself be ing sufficient to cause death. One entered thet right hip, the left leg received a wound, and the chin was struck by a bullet. It seems to be settled that the killing was the result of the al leged intimacy! between Whitta ker and Mrs. Hedrick. It is &aid that soma weeks ago- Conductor Hedrick came home unexpectedly and was made aware of certain conditions, which caused him to threaten prompt, and sure ven geanceupon Whittaker if his in timacy with Mrs, Hedrick did not cease at once.

In a statement made to the Post by E. C. Gregory, Esq., of Hedrick's counsel, he pays : , "Several weeks ago Capt. Hed rick learned that Whittaker was seeking to violate and despoil his home on Long street in Spencer, and to wean his wife from him. Oue day Hedrick returned home from a trip at an earlier hour tnan be, was expected and found Whit Saker there. He then warned( Whittaker never to come to his home again and to cease atten tions to his wife. Whittaker at that time roomed three doors die tant on the same .street. To get away from him Hedrick moved hiswife and his daughters to Newton Heights which are on the opposite side of Spencer from his former residence. Whittaker fol lowed and secured a room in the neighborhood about three doors off. He persisted in his atten tions ( aDd continued to pursue Mrs. Hedrick. Yesterday Capt. Hedrick had made his run for the Southern from Monroe, and reach ed his house about J o'clock in the afternoon. His wife ! was ab sent and his little, girl informed him that Whittaker had spent the morning therewith his wife, and that her mother and Whittaker had driven off together in a bug gy.
