Mr. Oovar is not Resting at all WeU, but is Expected to Recover Three Witnesses Testified at Inquest. Orangeburg, June 30.-The death f Mr. Jameg T. Parks, which occur red a little after 12 o'clock this morn ing from the wounds received in the pistol battle on yesterady with Mr. Robert H. Covar, has cast a shadow f universal sorrow over this entire oommunity. The greatest sympathy is felt for Mrs. Parks and her little ones. Mrs. Parks, who was Miss Annie Perreyclear, the daughter of Mr. and-Mrs. W. H. Perreyelear, was popular as a young lady in this city, and has a larIke family connection here. In addition to his wife and two little boys, one a mere baby, Mr. Parks leaves a daughter about six teen years of age, the child of his first wife,, who died a number of years ago in Edgefield county. Mr. Parks, in addition to his news paper work, taught school at one time in this county . He was for several years one of the public cotton weigh. irs at this place,, and had numerous Friends all over the county. He has mnade friends. He has many strong Friends in this city. He was always ,onsiderate of others and it was not -haracteristic of him to speak ill of .iny person. He was very guarded in 4is expressions concerning others, al bhough fearless in his editorial writ ings. It was remarked yesterday by e of Mr. Parks' friends that of all inen he would not have expected to learn of his' death in such a manner. M\fr. Parks was an active member of Orange Lodge, Knights of Pythias, lnd during his residence here was an ,fficjal in the lodge. Two of the hrothei's of the deceased reached Oragneburg this morning, one af them resides in Augusta and the Ather at Parksville. in Edgefield eounty. It has been arranged that lie remains will be taken to Augusta rroi Orangebur. and thence tolParks ille, where the funeral will be held lo-morrow, and the remains interred in tlie old family burial ground. The remains will be aceoipained by the relatives ald a number of friends. In iddition tle Knits ofr Pythias lodge will sen( a delegation to aecompany Aie remains. It is understood that Mr. Covay ias been suffering intensely. from his wounds, and it is said that his right min is paralyzed. He has not. been resting well at. all. The doetos do not ?onsiderl.l his injuries as necessarily lalgerous. Coroner F. N. Riekenbaker impan .led a jury of inquest this morning ind the regular inquest was held ac ,-ordiig to law over the remains -of ,%1r. Parks. The finding was in the 'ollowing language: ''The said J. '. Parks came to his death by a gun hiot wVound1 in the hands of R. H. Doar' The jury of inquest was romposed of the following business non: Messrs. F. J. D. Felder, A. L. [ukes, E. R. Paulling, P. M. Smoak, RI. B. Keller, A. D. Ruple, J. X. hVceks, J. C. Pike, R. D. McMichiael, . W. Hoffman, J. W. Stack and J. j. Weeks. Only three witnesses were examin d, including Dr. Hlydrick, who eon lueted the post-mortem examination. dIr. Charles P. Brunson, the magis rate in this city, has his office in the 'ear room of the Court House, and lie vas just going towards his office. He vas one of the closest of any of the pectators to the parties at the time f the shooting. Mr. A. C. Linstidt is vell knowvn in business circles of this ity, The testimony at the inquest, is ~iven as follows: Mr. C. P. Brunson, sworn, says: ~hat on June 20, 1006, about 11 'clock a. mn., was drivihig up to the ~ourt House gate, at my office. Be. ore getting to the usual place of stop uing Mr. A. M. Bozard came up and poke to me relating the death scene of is wife, Just then I saw the deceas d, J. T. Parks, wvalking out of the oui't House, and at the same time fr. R1. H. Covar coming toward Rus-. elI street' side of the Court House, *n Church street. I was looking at hem. Just at the gate they met. Mr. 'arks gave Mr. Covar a hand salute. Covar aid Mr. Covar replied. Just then Mr. Parks struck (I presume) Mr. Covar. Just as that happened Mr. Covar backed a little, both hands to his shirt bosom; in the twinkle of. an eye he (Covar) presented a pistol at Parks' body and fired and continued firing. Then Parks kinder turnedy. and then drew a pistol and fired. Then it was continual firing by both men. Question. Did any one else fire a pistolI Answer. No one. I saw Mr. Covar'o father with a pistol in his hand, aid saying to his son: "Kill him," and going in direction of his son and Parks. Parks was moving backwards. C. P. Brunson. Mr. A. C. Linstedt, sworn, says: That on June 29, 1906, about 11 o' clock a. in., I was coming down church street by the Court House fence. I saw Mr. Parks strike Mr. Covar. Theft instantly shooting commenced. . Mr. Covar fired first. They could not have been over eight or ten feet apart at the first shot. It could not have been more than a second before rapid firing by both parties, Parks and Covar. Just at the time they ceased firing and commenced to reload. I rushed to Mr. R. H. Covar and dis armed him. Just as I looked around I saw Mr. Covar's father coming up, hollowing, "Robbie, stop stop." He was armed. I tried to take the pis tol away from him. He said: "Don't disarm me.'' I said: ''Put it in your pocket.'' Then he put it in his pocket and went off with his son. I then turned Mr. Covar's pistol over to the sheriff. Question by foreman: Would you know the pistol now if you saw it? Answer. Yes. (Pistol presented.) It is the pistol, it was unbreached when I got it; had two loaded shells in it; no empty shells in it. A. C. Linstedt. Di. A. S. Hyddick, being sworn, says: That he has this day examined by dissection the hody of J. T. Parks. 11nd finds on tle body of the said J. T. Parks three gunshot wounds, viz: First, one shot entering an(] fratir ing the chiin aid passing out, file dir Oetion bein., from right to left and(1 fromt above dow1Nwards. The seconl. a1 unshot wound, entering ol the ri-ht side of Ole bodv betleel thi nitith and tenth ribs. in the axilhlairv lohe of the liver and the tiransverse 'olon, the point of entraiee bieiiig five inches below nipple, riglt side. anid the point of exit, 6 1-2 inlihes below niipl)le oil left side. .Third. a woUind below and to the right of 11he umbilicus, which was made by a sp(nt11 bullet anld did nlot pass through ih domiiiial wall. There was about lihree pints of blood in the abdominal cavil\ y and evidence of generl peritonitis. In my judgment the death of tle said J. T. Parks was due to wounids described above. A. S. Hydriek. During yesterday afternoion ill spite of his intense suffering Mr. Parks gave dlirect ions regarding the disposi tion of his business affairs and lhe made a wvill. There weie some dir'e tions that lhe desired to give in regard1 to his business matters and lhe appar' ently was in possession of his mental faculties until a short time before his death, lie made no ante-mortem statement, as far as has been madie known. iHe made none to his at tor' neys. Mr.i~ Covair has not given out any statement. The general supposition in Oirange burg is that both parties were of (lie impression that the other wouldl kill. him on sight and (hat lie must be pre' pared. The fact that both were arm ed with such deadly weapons would indicate the above to have been thie impression *of each of the parties. Since Mr. Parks sold his newspaper business out to Messrs. Funderburg and Covar several months ago there have been differences between Mr'. Parks and Mr. CQvar, wvhich seem to have grown out of business transac tions during the time that Mr. Covai' was working for Mr. Parks afteir lhe had moved to Oolumbia. It was not known here that this bitterness had become intensified, although since the affair reports would indicate that such had been the case. Both pair tics had friends here and they would have interfered and endeavored to* make satisfactory adjustment of thie difficulties .had if been made known to them. Certainly the friends of both parties would liave interfered ind prevented so deplorable a terinin ation of the differences. Mr Parks has always taken an ae tive interest in political affairs. Sev eral years ago he was elected secre tary of the State Democratic execu tive committee, to succeed Mr. U. X. Guiiter wlien the latter became a can didate of the office of Attorney Gen eral of the State. Mr. Parks has been continuously re-elected ever since and has given most satisfactory service in this position. Mr. Tatum, under whose administration he work ed at. the state dispensary, had been a warm friend of Mr. Parks for several years, and this friendship has continu ed. EXOURSION RATES.
