One Prominent Raleigh Citizen Shoots Another. SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY IN RALEIGH The Affair a Great Sensation Owing to the Prominence of the Parties InvoJved. K:il ;i;h, Special The greatest social rr.rl criminal sensation Raleigh has i-ver known de vol oped at 4:20 o'clock Saturday- afternoon when, on Fayette ville .street, Ernest Haywood fdiot and lulled Ludlow Skinner. The promi nence of both families is marked. Hay wood i.s a gran '!: n of the late Slate Trearnrer John Haywood and .son of the bile I)r. K. Burke Haywood and one or Raleigh's leading lawyers. Skin ner Has a grandson of the late Mr, Ludlow, of NVw York, and a son" of R v. Dr. Thos.lE. Skinner, of Raleigh, cine (,? the b(stj known and ablest Bap tists in the Soh. At 1 -ast a hundred persons must have Men the shooting, certainly that M'fs.ui r saw the victim of Haywood's j revo v r as' he reeled and fell upon his face on the rar track in front of the j)(;s!(:fl'ic(! and Yarborough House and M't 1U yard? from the court house. One witness siiH the expret-.sion of thf dy liig man's face was piteous beyond all telling and thai he will never forget it. A thousand persons gathered i n & I Jiijr was laheii , 1 in a ninute. Th-e dead no. . i?ii a. fir 1 1 ir ' tr !: Havwood v.as taken "or Deputv Shcr-J iff S'vii-irk to Haywood's' law office and ; was then for about two hours, guarded ' by deputies ;.nd in ronference' with his ' iitjonifys. James 11. Pun and Argo & i Shai'ier. Later he was taken to the 1- eoirt bouse, when- Magistrate Marcolm i lia I a preliminary hearing taking only . Separk's testimony,- upon which he ; (orninitted Haywood to jail without hail for mur de: Separk's evidence was that be was in the court house- and heard' a shot and walked out. He saw another, flash and heard a second shot; that Haywood" was standing on the j-idewalk in front of the postoffice; that Skinner was in the street and made a motion as if to throw hi3 hands towards his pocket, then turned, j-taggered and fell on his face on the street car track. Separk, as soon as the second shot was fired, ran toward Haywood, called the latter, who :said: am rignt. tooK Maywooa by tne arm; ! II....; .i v : i it. i. : I in", i ii,. v Hy . i uniti'u li'm lu La tvt; ,111111 to his (Haywood's) office; that on ar rival at the office he asked Haywood to give him the pistol, which he did. One of Haywood's brothers was, with him during the hearing. Krnest Haywood was very cool, sat easily in his chair, twirling a bit of paper in his fingers. He had nothing to say. his attorneys said. One of them, Mr. Pou. said they were fully confi dent of their line of defence. The body of Skinner was placed in .Johnson's drug store. His wife, who is :i daughter of the late Major John C. Winder, was sent for. She fainted as his body was placed in a carriage tobo taken to his home At. the home Dr. Knox, at the request of l)r. Jordan, the coroner, performed an putopsy. Dr. Jordan says this showed that there was only one Wound, this being on median line of left side, about three inches be low left nipple. It grazed .the heart, lwssed through the lung and severed the aorta or great artery. It was such a wound as to cause almost instant death. Health Officer Sale gave - to Coroner Jordan the pistol which he said was Skinner's. One. wittier s of the horrible affair said he was a few minutes before it occurred in the lobby of the postoffice and saw Skinner there, reading a let ter. He went out on th.e sidewalk and in a i'cw moments heard the shot, turn 1 and saw Skinner walking r.ap idly away a. r iss th street. Haywood v.as standing on the .udewalk within a. few feet of the postifh-e. and he saw 1he. latter raise his pistol and aim at Skinner, who v.as then only a few 'feet l'M.ii:' thn i urh or the very wide side walk. !l then heard Haywood tire, and uv Skinner wnltf in an irregular way to the edg" of the street with high'anJ wav ring steps; thon suddenly move in a sort of circular stagger and fell on his face. 1 lay wood put his pistol in his pocket, walked south a few steps, thru started back when Separk called him. I'i nest Haywood will contend that he shot J. Ludlow Skinner in self-defense. . It is currently reported here and else where that Haywood will plead tem porary insanity, but this is denied by Haywood's- counsel. Haywood will al Ugti that Skinner came up to him and without provocation knocked him down. As he arose both he and Skinner u ached for their pistols. He was quicker than Skinner and 'fired before Skinner could draw his weapon. The first shot, Haywood says, inflicted the mortal wound, and he f.red the second because he thought Skinner was eom- ; ing back to attack him. Bishop Guilty of rianilaughter. Charlotte, N. C.

"I am not a pro'.iibitioiiist," sail Mr. White, "for I woui.i not establish State prohibition if I uulJ." He plead with treat power for the London bill ar.d made the most eloquent temperance oration th.is far made In the Srnatc. Those in the lobbies and the galleries listened with absorUel intere-at. De mocracy had never won a victory la this. State except iie.n ir.orul uue-. He was liberally applaud'1 and Le was the firs; Senator in this debate accorded that distinction. Mr. Lamb. ! Cumberland, followed with an argument for the Ixndon bill. Seven ycats ago a r.an ould act b2 elected to any cflbc in Fayetteville unless he w33 appioved by the liqucr men. Today there is net a bar the;e, all 16 have been banished. "Ycu say this Lesion bill is not backed ty pub-lie- sentiment? Why it is supported by tho Epl.-u-ipai Church, a gre?.t artil lery with its officrs in full dress unl feirm singing 'lice'.-: of Ages.' Ttfn there is the gret Baptist navy singing 'Sweet Fields of Eden.' while the grand Methodist infr.ntry is behind this London bill shouting. 'Come Ye That Love the Lord.' " Mr. Travis, of Halifax, declared that th.e question was not what was right Lecause prohibition was right and nojhing short of prohibition was right. The London bill el-i not-meet these requirements he-ncc it was itself an acknowledgement that while total pro hibition was right yet it was r.ot ex pedient. No mea.-ure was rUht that discriminated aga;n?t tons and coun ty, sections aul localities. Why should the town having 21J9 t;cople be denied a vote which is accorded to towns of 300 or more? lie argued that it would s loners oi caiam uo. give the large towns an auv2iua..e ever tL little places in petting Situr- I day nlgtt trade, for the negroes would j go when they could get a drink or two. J In Halifax there were 12 towns; tnlcr ; this London bill four of thec towns ; tould vote cn the question while the eight would be forced to adopt prohlb!- ' tion. The petitions for this bill from . Halifax had come from the four towns Jai couia vote on inc siiDject. 17 said let us vole on prohibition, but i when you mention allowing the other 1 eight to vote they declare. "No. that " 1 would be cowardly." He aJvc -ted the substitute which providfs thai a con- . ty shall vote, if it chooses, on whether liquor shall be manufactured and sold in only towns of 500 or 300; thea re- : fcaruieis 01 uu'bc iiicsc iuua 11: rtiu 1 elections. The only difference between the London bill and the substitute was leaving it to a vote of the people. I'a- 1 less the sentiment of a county backed any law it would net be enforced. He knew good men who considered the London bill unwise. He quoted Rev. , , . . . . . , 1 1 f w fc F d TOjnisters r the Gos. . . tA .v.. , , ,,, : i and unsafe measure. The rity j i were far mon. attractive invit- s were rar mori attracme mii 1 dangerous than the little ihopa ; country.

Mr. Justice, of McDowell, said with the sixln section eliminated ne ravor ed the London bill. He made a power ful speech for the bill. He discussed the measure from the standpoints of morals, practicality and expediency, and emphasized especially the matter of practicality. The bill established prohibition in the country where pro- hib:tie! on be enforced, but rightly lc.'t the towns, where nforrenv.-nt de pended cn public sentiment, to de-rid it. -Mr. Just's -e. though the last speak er, heJ tin undivided attention of the Stnator.s. He was interrupted by sev eral questions. Senator Woodard ask ed, -Doe the Scnasor t!.ink a Stat? law ran makr a drunkard ro!r or .1 1 thief honest?" "If yen keep liquor from j him he will be sober." replied Mr. Jis i fliit r lirori .lrm." 9elr..l yir;yVw6d. "YrS. I believe proliibi- ior in the country really prohibit?. lct-ared the speaker.
