Hood, who for many years ias been identified with the business nterests of Charlotte, was shot dowu ?y Mr. W. S. Biggers in front of thi Central Hotel a few minutes after 0 'clock Tuesday morning, anil diec. vithin twenty minutes after the first hot. Hood never regained conscious less. By a railroad accident Biggers hait ost his right arm, but wielded his i . listol with the left. The shooting took place at clos ange, Biggers being within three o 'our feet of Hood when he opened Ire. Hood fell at the third shot, an . n a fpw moments the siHoimllr 'ed with blood, while a part of the >rain of the victim was mingled wit he blood that was streaming frou, he wounds in the head. One ball from Biggers' pistol pass(d through the rear of the Central Totel 'bus and shattered a pane of :lass in the front, passing within four nehes of the driver's head. The same tall continued across Tryon street ind broke n large plate glass in the ront of the offices of the Southern leal Estate, Loan and Trust Com>anv. Just before the shooting Hood was een with his hands extended forward, taking Biggers not to shoot him, this ?eing practically all that was gatherd of the conversation that took place. Biggers raised his pistol in his left land, and pointed square at Hood, he first shot evidently going wild, ,nd hitting the hotel 'bus. The second shot is believed to have been the nost fatal of all, the ball entering beween the eyes and about an inch ,bove a line across the middle of the orehead. When a policeman reached tho cene of the tragedy Riggers was tanding over his victim with his pisol in his hand. Turning to tho loliceman, he said: "I submit to you md here is my pistol.

The men had been in business torether some years ago. Riggers had ubscribcd for some of the stock md paid in part of the sum.
