Scott McCraw Shot Dead and a Man
Named Hooper Badly Wonnded.
Alleghany was the. scene of a
murder last Thursday night.
Scott McCraw was shot through
the head and heart1 and killed
instantly, and a man by the
name of Rooper ws badly
wounded by a shot fired from a
shot gun. McCraw was for
merly jailer of the county and
was the chief witness in the
lynching case.
Reports are meagre and con
flicting, but it seems that some
brandy had been stolen from
Duncan Bros., and they had
found it hidden in the woods
near Sparta. McCraw, it seems,
knew where the liquor was ana
took Rooper with him to get
a drink. They went to where
to where this brandy was, and
there they were fired upon with
the result mentioned. It is be
lieved that the Duncans and
friends had gone there with
guns to see who would come
after the liquor, and that they
did the shooting.
They were arrested next day
and tried hef ore a magistrate,
but were leleased.
The matter has been brought
to the attention of Solicitor'
Mott, and he will probably go
over there this week, and if the
circumstances justify, willliave
the case reopened.
