Si* Men Killed and Others Injured
in Tnuiwiiwe Town.
i t
South Pittsburg, Tenn., Dec.
With virtusliy all local law enforcement
' officers dead or disabled,
National Guardsmen tonight policed
this section to prevent further disorders
growing out of a gun fight
last night between city and county
authprities in which five men were
killed and four wounded, one fatally.
Although military officers said
tKe situation was well in hand, 27
more militiamen were ordered here
from Chattanooga late today to reinforce
the 36 men called lout last
night after the two factions had "shot
it out" on the downtown streets. At
the same time, Adjuntant General W.
C. Boyd left Knoxville to take command'of
the force.
The guardsmen were ordered hero
by Governor Horton, responding to
appeals from business men, under a
state law which prohibits their use
in quelling disturbances but permits
them to act as peace officers.
The deith in a Chattanooga hos-!
pital today of the chi^f of police,
James Connor; brought to six the
number of fatalities in tb<P street
battle, which was said to have climaxed
a feud between police and
sheriff's officers growing out of a
recent strike at a manufacturing
plant in which the respective law enforcement
agencies supported opposing
sides.
Details of the shooting, which
shattered the Christmas quiet of virtually
deserted streets, then subsided
as suddenly as it Started after a momentary
exchange of shotgun and
pistol fire, were meager. A statement
from one of the principals,
however, developed that brother was
arrayed against brother in the fatal
fend. '
1 Tb/cftlflfiP Connor, a deputy sheriff
and' briltheV of the police chief, Cortaccount'
furnished the
only klrrtrwn coherent stoj;y of events
leading to the shodting, said that
city officers . ha$ drawn pistols on
him in An ehcomiter earlier in1 the
evening and that the fight began
when Sheriff Coppipger and several
deputies. laYer Bought to Arrest members
of the opposing group for dis-i
playing their weapons threateningly
In the ensuing exchange of shots,
the sheriff, Deputy Sheriff L. A.
Hennessey, tlic city marshall, Ewing
Smith, -the night marshall, Ben
Parker and special policeman, O. H.
Larowe, were killed, and the chief of
police,Connor, Deputy Sheriff
Fayette Nelson and special policeman,
Charles Pittman and John Bates, fell
woundedi
The hatter two were believed not to
have been seriously hurt.
W. H. Cameron, president of the
South Pittsburg Savings bank, one
of those who requested state proteo
tion for the city and county, said he
had been informed that about 20'
men, several of whom were civilians
and presumably members of the opposing
strike factions, participated,
in the shooting..
Of six,officers' revolvers found atf
the 'scene of the melee, he said, only
one contained an empty shell, but he
could not identify it.
An investigation has -been begun
by Attorney General Tom Stewart,
.who said today that a hearing probably
would be called soon to fix responsibility
for the fray. The Marion
county coUft has been called into
session for tomorrow to appoint a
sheriff to act until the next election
in February.
