TWO MEN HURT
IN PISTOL BATTLE
Shooting Starts When Attempt Is
Made To Search Tourists Car
For Whiskey, k ’ Jp
Greenville, June 28.—Iff. M, Ivey
and Herndon Thomas, Atlanta busi
ness men, are in a local hospital
suffering from bullet wounds said to
have been inflicted at 4 o’clock this
morning in an exchange of shots be :
tween federal prohibition agents and
’a'party of tburiats from Atlanta. The
shooting occurred on the highway be
tween this city and Hendersonville..
The other members of the party,
from Atlanta were A. J. Martin and
J. M. Foley, neither of whom were
hurt.
They .declared that a party of men
blocked their car coming down the
mountain and one man rushed into
their car, seizing a canteen of water
on the seat. Other men, supposed to
be officers, opened fire, Martin and
Foley stated, and two of the Atlanta
party were injured. The fire was re
turned, but hone of the officers were
known to have been hurt. The offi
cers, then brought the wounded men
into this city for trestment.
Mr. Ivey, president of the Ivey
Motor Company of Atlanta, is wound
ed in three places, including a shot
through the knee. Mr. Thomas has
two wounds, one through the left arm
and one through the right arm. Their
condition is not considered serious,
unless infection sets in.
The Georgia men say they intend
communicating with attorneys in
their home state in an effort to bring
charges against the men who did the
shooting.
The wounded men, lying in the city
hospital here, talked freely of the
shooting and of the circumstances
surrounding their being held up.
M We were stopped on the roadside
18 miles above Greenville,” Mr. Ivey
said, “when a large car passed, cut
in front of us and a man shouted.
Hello, need any help?’ We told him
we did not, but they stopped and a
man came running back to our car.
He espied some canteens of water
which were on the front seat of our
car. He made a move as if to catch
them, but instead grappled with me.
We scuffled and I made an effort to
get my gun, believing we were being
held up by a bunch of highwaymen.
The man who was trying to pinion
my arms about me then shouted to
his companions to come and help him.
As he did so, several shots rang out.
I jerked loose from the man who was
with me, grabbed my gun and fired
several times. I couldn’t see very
many men at that time, but I could
see the flashes from their^guns as
they were popping away Ijfpb. There
was a pause, as I think they Stopped
to reload.
“ ‘Let’s get away from here before
these men kill us,M said to Thomas,
who was seated at the steering wheel.
We started to drive off, when the
men began firing again. Thomas
crumpled up and fell over against
me, at the same time saying he was
shot. A second later I felt my leg
shattered.”
Following the second exchange of
shots, Mr. Ivey said the officers came
up to their car and attempted to “ex
plain things.” According to Mr. Ivey,
