A 32-calibre pistol was round yes terday morning at the foot of the high embankment on the Mount Pleasant road about thirty feet from where Barrier was shot. The revolver was found by Charley Earnhardt, who with a number of other people visited the scene of ithe murder. It developed that Motley purchased his pistol, a 2o-cahbre Colts, irom the Ritchie Hardware Co. Saturday morning wlm this firm was closing out its stock of fire-arms at a greatly re duced price on account of the recent fire, but at the time he purchased no bullets and this is the only hardware store in the citv that sells that size catridge for a pistol of this particular kind. When Motley and Plott were ar that! he died a few hours after Mr. Cannon arrived. On account of the popularity and bright promise of the young man the first news of illness brought count less inquires from scores of people in the city and throughout the county concerning his condition, evidencing the esteem and friendship of -scores who anxiously awaited a report from his bedside. Frank, Cannon, Jr., was a quiet, reserved young gentleman, a lover of his home and his friends and went about among his associates always mainfesting and kindl', yet unpre tentious manner, and was known as what way termed a quiet young man, but beneath his outward reserve was a strong and magnetic personality.
