EXPRESS AGENT SHOT.
Trugidv ??f n Man Supposed to Be
Cr?zv nt Jacksonville.
Jacksonville. Special.?J. E. Stark
shot and fatally wounded John F. Angel
Thursday afternoon in the office of
the Southern Express Company, in
tins city, while the latter was protecting
the life of his sister, the wife of
the man who fired the shot.
Stark had been in Jacksonville several
days and Thursday morning wired
for his wife to join him. She came at
about n on and at J o'clock they met
in the office of the express company,
where her brother was employed. The
wife suspected that her husband
meant to do her bodily injury when
lie endeavored to got her to go to
his hotel. She desired to remain near
lier brother and declined to go.
"I have brought you here to kill
you." Stark said. Quick as a flash his
wife seized him. as he was endeavoring
to draw a pistol. She pinioned his
aims and her cries brought her brother.
The pistol was then taken from
Stark before it was drawn. Words
between the two men followed and
blows were exchanged. Stark went
to a pawn shop, where he procured another
pistol and returned, lie entered
the office and walked to the cage
where Angel was at work with his
back turned. Resting the pistol in one
cf tiie small steel holes of the cage he
fired, the hall striking Angel in the
back of the h ad and lodging near
the brain. Angel fell. Stark looked
about hitn and started to leave, when
a brother of Angel appeared and
seized him. The brother made an effort
to kill Stark with a knife, but others
interfered and the police placed
Stark under arrest. Angel is at St.
Luke's Ib spital. No hopes arc enter
taitied for his recovery.
The drfitise that Stark's lawyers
will make is that lie was insane, a
thenry which is generally accepted hy
those who know hint and who have
been with him during tHo past few
days.
Stark was formerly auditor of the
Jacksonville, Tampa it K< y West road.
Aup el was cashier of the Southern
Express Company.
