N A. .JJLd 9 TWO MEN KILLED IN CHARLOTTE SHOOTING Six Were Also Wounded, Though Later Reports Placed the Number at Three Killed and Fourteen Wounded. The Journal was informed over the long distance tele phone at 9:15 that three Jien were killed and fourteen wounded in the shooting melee which took place in front of the car barns in Charlotte this morning at 12:15. Troops, so we were informed, have been sent for and the city may be placed under martial law. The following account was given by the Charlotte Ob server, which was printed about 2 a. m., and probably does not give the actual cas aalites, owing to the narrow margin given the paper to secure the facts from the time of the occurrence until press time: The tkad body of J. W. Pope of Concord was lomul about 1:30 o' clock this morning beside the car barn of the street railway company, following a shooting about 12:20. when two men were killed and a half dozen injured In an outbreak of shooting between ptdxeiaen and u 'crowd gathered there. At 1'iist six men were shot, two fa tally, in :i battle between the police department and u croivd in trout ot' the .Snuthf .it Public Utilities compa ny's car barns on South boulevard about 12: SO o'clock this morning, fix m-n were brought to St. Peter's hospit;.!. one of theta dying us he was being tanied into the hospital. The name i.f this young man was report ed as Hinsoa. and a quantity ot sta tionery hearing the letterhead of J. H. Hinsi n & Sons, well diners, was taken from his body, but his given name co'Jld not be learned at press time. Mi'. Hinson having three grown sons listed in the.directory. According to Chief of Police Wal ter E. Orr, the trouble started when a crowd, believed to have been head Hi by a van named Wilson, a brother of CI- ::i Wilson, who was knocked in the he.nl earlier in the night, ap proach d some of the officers and stalled a controversy oV'T the strik ing ot "".ng W'oa.

"The .-sis a'. I that was necessary to sunt a melee teat la.hd only when the crowd was dispersed and the police and others ceased firing." Chi-f Orr estimated that about a hundred shots were fired in nil. a number of member? of the mob shooting at the policeman. None of the policemen were Injur ed. Early last night a crowd started collecting' in the neighborhood of the car barns, and by 11 o'clock It is' es timated that there were over 2,000 people in front of the barns. The police department had been notified early ot the gathering of the mob. and a squad ot about 30 officers headed by Chief Orr went to the hams to protect the property against the mob. Spectators stated that several hun dred members of the crowd were citi zens of that section, drawn to the scene of action by curiosity. It was Btated that a large number of auto mobiles were parked along the street near the car barns early in the eve ning. About 10 o'clock a young man named Clem Wilson got In a contro versy with an officer and the officer struck him over the head with a rifle butt, knocking the young man down. 'Vilson was, taken to a hospital. The mob cont'nuel to Increase un til by 11 o'clock It had reached It maxliMt'T'i strength. By 1 o'clock it had dwindled o 100 or 200. About 12:30 o'clock, according to statements obtainable, a brother of young Wilson headed a crowd which made some pointed inquiries regard ing t': Inlnrlng of Wilson, and this is said to have precipitated the shoot ing. According to Chief Orr. somebody In the crowd fired a pistol, and the police, at a rervous tension over their long vigil, Immediately opened fire. When the smoke had cleared away, six men were placed In automobiles and rushed to St. Peters hospital, one of them believed, as stated above, to be young Hlnson. dying as they were carrying him to the hospital. It is believed that about a dozen more were wounded, as several were seen In the crowd with blood on their person, but still able to get about. Of the five wounded still remaln was shot through the lunes. and may In? at St. Peter? hospital, one man die. The others were not so serious ly injured. Cars w- operated I'tvtll nonn, when thv 'vrr j taken to the barns while the operators ate lunch, which had been sent in by the company.) They remained in for about twoi hours, when service on a limited! scale was resumed, the cars operat-,ll inz until about 5:50 o'clock When the cars left the barns In the afternoon the operators In charge who had been unarmed during the forenoon. wee supplied with arms in order that they might defend f' , u .. The only time the guns came Into play was about 3 o clock, when a . crowd rocked a street car on South boulevard. The motorman and con ductor promptly opened fire, and soon the rock throwers were dispers ed. Later In the day the police round ed up Bruce Simpson. Ed Shoemak er. Charles Helms. Burton Helms. Clarence Cathey. Houston Kirby and Earl Thomas, charging them with rocking a street car. The men were held under bond of $100 each. John W. Templeton, a young man was arrested near the ' aboard sta- tion. charged with shooting through a car window with a slingshot. He was brought to police headquarters and his bond fixed at $500. Several other arrests were made during the day. Some of the men succeeded In making bond, but othrs were held in Jail for hearing this morning. The policeman wfe held at head quarters all day. their meals being sent in by the city from nearby res taurants. Plans were made to divide the force so as to allow every man to Let at least some rest and sleep. They were very quiet In their move ments, but the way they handled their rifles and shotguns senied to have a qniv'ine effect on the crowd, wherever It appeared for no demon stration against the police was nt teteptfd during the day. Early last nicht reports came that a mob was ga'herlng against the ear barr?. and ns threats against the barns had been made during the day, Chief Orr and about 30 of his men went down to the barns, prepared to sta-id gitnrd all night, if necessary. Inside the barns were a force of about 30 more men. employes of the com pany, all armed and prepared to pro tect the barns against any demonstra tion. YOUNG MAN HURT About 10 o'clock last night, a crowd from North Charlo'te crowded the police tor rinse and n policeman struck Clem Wilson, a North Char lotte boy. across the head with the butt of a rifle, stunning the young man. and sending him to a hospital, but Wilson wai not seriously injured. Friends took him to St. Peter's hospital, where his head was dressed, anil reports from there at midnight deflated he was suffering from brui ses only. TROUP.I.K STARTS.

The mob surged around him and t" :rlng the excite ment Mr. Drum was struck in the face with a brick wrapped in a news paper and s?riously Injured. As Independence square was the latit place on the line where the police expected trouble there were but two,cars were reay , O)pration a larR, patrolmen on the scene, and Mr Drum's assailant succeeded in making !hl escape In the mob. The pollcejof ,h(, Ullitd clj?ar gtore dispersed the mob and the car con tinned on its route. Shortly afterwards, calls began to come In to police headquarters and during the forenoon the officers were kept busy rushing to various places to stop demonstrations. The police man traveled In groups of four or five and went armed with shotguns loaded with buckshot. SUMMONED FOR SPEEDING. Citizens in automobiles, catching the excitement ot the disturbances, began racing their automobiles to the scene of any trouble as soon as the rollce cars were seun heading that way. This interfered with police operations, making It difficult for them to get lo the heart of the trou ble on their arrival, and the plan of summoning every motorist who rush-t ed to the seen? of any of t he disturb-' ances was adopted. These men are charged with speeding and Chief Orr annuonced his intention of presslns the charges. About 9 o'clock, a nuib attacked a car at the corner of Tenth avenue and Church street placing rocks on the tracks and hurling missiles at the car. The prompt on''" rf a force of police In an automobile put an end to this demonstration. Another attack was made on a car at the corner of Eleventh a::d Bre vard streets, the street car men in charge of the car being compelled to flee. Prompt arrival of the police prevented any vlolenco to the car and after sometime, It wa brought back to the barn by the crew. Reports that a mob was laying In wait for a car at Irvln's creek and West Trade street sent a detail of policemen to the scene, but the crowd dispersed as soon as the policemen ar- rived. Another report that a mob was tearing up tracks MIL IKOWKLL WILL OFFICII LOT As STK t. MW,Mr TKMm: Jefferson St. Suitl lo lie Worth )ST.tH Offer Will IS Made at Neit Regular Meet lug of Lodge. At the next regular meeting of the ja.ni nrA-r nf rr flr.t them-,Kiaav nUh, , Sel,tember. Mr. R. W. Lemniond on behalf of Mr. T. L. c ,, ff th ,od , . ierersm 8lretft a. . for the lion of a Masonic temple. The lot ot Mr. Crowell's is locat ed on West Jefferson street, near his residence. It will be spec ified that the offer shall remain open for one year and if at the end ot this time the Wilmington-Char-lotte-Asheville highway is not con structed by this lot through the city it shall be withdrawn. The lot is said to be worth $7,000. It extends from Jefferson street on the south to Crowell street on the h an(J J about m ft located upon the route which has been surveyed by government engi neers and declared the logical course for the Wilmington-Charlotte-Ashe-ville highway through the city, elimi nating the seven dangerous curves, and making the shortest connecting link saving a mile detour on either of the other present routes to Benton Heights. Should th highway follow this route through the city, and it un doubtedly will, the lot offered will front on the highway and on Jeffer son street, on the corner of the sec ond block from the Court House square. This will be an ideal loca tion for the Masonic temple putting it in the heart of the city and on the busiest corner in the citv alongside the flow of an artery of trafic. Safe ty seekers will follow this route to avoid missing the rail road at two points for the north out of the city. (ir.iham ;ttnt caused a police auto to hasten to the scene and this mob likewise became peaceful. Policemen sent out to quell distur bances yts'erday were armed with revolvers and either repeating rifles or automatic shotguns, and the mobs, whenever the police arrival, treated them with the utmost respect. Ther? was never n si--n of trouble after the police appeared on the scene, the mob evidently knowing that their Instruc tions were to preserve order at any cost. FIRST OUT FROM BARN. Only a handful of strikers and cu r'ons onlookers witnessed the first car operated by strike breakers leave the barn at 7:40 o'clock yesterday morning. The moterman had some little difficulty in starting the car and was "booed"aud hooted by the small crowd that witnessed his discomfi ture. The car took the Dilworth route. Mayor Frank R. McNInch was at "he cur barns early and stated to com 'iitiv officials that he had several au- ii it noii -aiol ils loaded with police, to pro i i.iy a t "t the cars and stop niiv rets of ed guard at the barn when Ihe firs' car:- vre put in operanon. It was h' c:d' u that such action was not nec- saty. The i,. vor. with a representative of The Oh. "V ,.i-, drove in an automo bile llong.-i'1" the first car to go from the b:'rn to 'he center of the city. The 'in was made without Incident, al fiough the operatives were hooted all along the route. CROWD GATHERS AT SQUARE The first two or three cars to reach the square were unmolested, but as amn n tha unrH u-na nnoaefl that the croird gathered about the four cor ners, being particularly dense In front Suddenly bricks began to fly from many directions, and windows iu passing cars were broken by the fly ing missiles. This continued for near ly a half hour, during which time the police were called out In force. Mr. Drum, assistant superintend ent of the railway system, was struck in the face, either by a flying missile or the (1st of a member of the crowd and fell to the ground, striking his had on the curbing as he went down. He was bleeding badly and was taken first to a drug store for first aid treat ment and later to a hospital. Upon the arrival of the police the throwing of bricks and other missiles perceptibly slackened. Some one 'hrew a piece of Ice at a car windo'v and a young man was Immediately taken Into custody by an officer, plac ed In a police machine and taken to herdqitarfers. The crowd gradually began to dis perse following this arrest and the throwing of missiles ceased. It ems From Stouts. Stonis. August 20. Mr. and Mrs A. C.

For Which She Was Confined, anil IVib McCoille Hung. Aunt Sarah Wycoff. 40 years with out a mark against her record of service in the state prison for her husband. Wesley Wycoff. for which Bob McCorkle, black, has been hand ed, has ceased, by a letter that be trays her innocence, to be a prison er ot hope and remains one of choice, says Tom Bost in the Greensboro News. Aunt Sarah was late getting he let ter her daughter-in-law recently wrote her telling how a neighbor, in the terror of his deathbed, confessed the crime for which McCorkle died, which would have cost her life but for her s-x. The Mrs. Wycoff, who is the widow ot the last member of Aunt Sarah's family, writes without, great enlightment to the oldest pris oner in the State's service. Aunt Sarah has turned her 40 years and next week will be 78. The weazened old woman came to the state in 1S79, after two trials and two convictions: More ban half that incarceration has been spent on a little cot on he highest ffoor in he state prison. She has not walked In 23 years. Rheumatism has drawn her trim fingers double and deprived her of all locomotion, save the power to crawl and push herself with an Inva lid's chair. But in 23 years and flat of her back she has not uttered a word of offense to her friends in pris on and now if the governor will par don her those attendants will Insist that she die there. llllt 'ii'.ili vjvu t-.tni nnrvaciitnil- ent an interview Friday. She didn't Imean to be giving interviews she doesn't even know what one means. She was reading her Bible, which is printed in 12 point type, and varying this with the scrawled letter whic.li has come from her solitary relative, daughter-in-law. Nothing harder has been undertaken since the original tackier of the Egyptian hieroglyphics than the rending of junior Mrs. Wy coff's letter. The dutiful widow mere ly wished Aunt Sarah lo know that she has suffered in silence and mys tery and the actual slayer of the old mm, Wesley Wycoff, has confessed the ci'lrae. Who he was, the daughter-! n-law does not know. "I am leff alone with no one to live with me." she says, telling Mrs. Wycoff for the first time of her son's death. "Jacob Is dead and gone and the children married off. He had six children- -th'ree boys and three girls. They are well as common. Bob Mar- low w as her;'. You know her. She il she kiio'.ved you. That ivan is dead that killed Mr. Wesley Wycoff. He told on his deathbed that he kill ed him hissrlf that you nor Boh McCorkle never done it. He did :t liisself nnd you and Bob was Inosmit. j I am ulad to no and i wanted you to know the people had found out j how It was done." ' Mrs. Wycoff Is as Ignorant of the ; vial nnd what brought her to prison las if she had lived in another guise and by some metempsychosis or other ! process had been transplanted from a jtar, the moon, or the sea Into North Carolina life. She does recall that she had a husband; that she was ac- IrUKpri nf iiiiirrlerliiEr htm un twice tried, twice convicted and sent to prison. "We was first tried In Catawba county that's where they said he was killed by Bob and that I knowed about It. And then we was f:Med in Alexander. It happened the same there as In Catawba. I don't 1 now who the judge was and I don't know why they tried me. They said I know ed sumpln about It. They never said I done It. but said I knowed about it." She could not recall whether the law yers and the court talked about acces sories before and after the fact. All that she could recall was that It "hap pened the same," meaning that she was twice convicted. Why there were two trials does not appear from anything that sh re calls. The Supreme court records do not seem to have the case, and It is nareiy possible that one or them was tried In one rountv and other In the adjoining jurisdiction. It Is not Im possible that the judge who tried the case set aside the verdict. Evidently there was no appeal. Anyway, Rob McCorkle was hanged and Mrs. Wy coff capie lo prison to spend her life. "Governor Russell would have par doned me 20 years ago." sh said, "but there was no place for me to go. Other governors have said they would pardon me, but I haven't got no folks to take tne. I guess I will keep on staying here." "I would like to see Aunt Sarah get her pardon," her attendant said, "but we have learned to love her so that we want her to stay here If she gets out. She has never broken a rule and all the prisoners like her so much." Aunt Sarah seems to have "satisfi ed the law." whatever that means and Bob McCorkle did his part 40 years ago. It Isn't strange that the law has difficulty satisfying Aunt Sarah. A Gastonla man.
