(Special to the Journal) ATLANTA; May 15. W. H. Smith- i barber of Calhoun Ga.. and killed early this morning by J. j. fcdwards, president of the Edwards rurniture Company, of No. 215 Mar ietta street when. hi was found in the reception hall of the Edwards hnmp at Io. 270 Lucki? strc-t. Edwards fired one shot, the bullet striking Smith in the temple. Smith's body was removed to the undertaking chapel of A. O. and Roy Oonehoo, and probably will shipped to Calho::n when the police nave completed their investigation. Statements by men who have known Smith for a number of years and the Uct that he is known to have been drinking during the evening, have led the police to believe that he had no intentions of burglary at Edwards' home. A souvenir Shriners cap was found lying in the yard, and it ij sup posed to have been worn by the Cal houn man, as no hat could be found. It is supposed that Smith havino" a been celebrating during the evening lost his way and cimbed into the wrong hou.-ie. Miss Keron Baker, who lives with the Edwards family was awakn?d shortly before daybreak by a noise on the front porch and saw the form of a man outlined against her window trying to raiso the sash. She ran to Mr. Edwards' room and knocked " on his door telling him that a b- rglar was trying to get into the house. Mr. Edwards volver, and .stepped cautiously into the hallway, intending to go outside and come upon th- man from the rear. While M iss Baker was giving the alarm, however, Smith left the win dow where he fir.it heard and walked down the length of the p.irch to the window of the reception hall, through which he climbed. As Mr. Edwards came into the reception hall, Smith rooe up in front of him. Mr. Edwards thinking the man was a burglar, fired one shot. Smith fell to the floor and died without giving any explanation of his presence in the house. No weap ons were found' in his pockets. Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Bowden. who liv? in the other section of the house at No. 279 Luckie street, were aroused by the shot, and Mr. Bowden rushed across the street and called Dr. L. P. Backer, The physician made every ef-fort-to revive the man, but Smith wa dead within a few minutes after Dr. Baker reached him. He never spoke after the bullet struck him. Mr. Edwards immediately telephoned the police station and told what had occurred. Call Officers Jones and Gorman went to the Edwards home. and after an investigation of the bodv and the surroundings, ordered the body taken to the Donehoo undertaking chapel. Smith was identified bv I. A. Strain president of the Calhoun Cotton Oil Mills Company, who saw the hodv after it had been taken to the under taking establishment. Mr Strain de clares that it is improbable that Smith was attempting to burglarize the house when he got shot. The man has a wife and one chilrf in Calhoun, and Mr." Strain said bi was known in Calhoun as a rood man ' and a good workman. . He drank conv '' siderabley at times,; and it is. thought. . he got lost and didn't know what hc:" was doing : when he entered the Ed- - wards home. , FLOWER MART AND BASKET SALE TODAY. ; ' ' The City Beautiful Club will hoM their .
