A fatal shooting scrape occurred Saturday night, near Stokes, in which Edward Evans was shot to death by Willit* Zeigler. A party was given at feul Herndon’s to which several of the young people of the neighborhood were invited. Billie Evans was the banjo player, and was so intoxicated, it is said, that he fell on the floor. He was picked up by several of the boys and taken out or the piazza. His uncle, Edward Evans, went out to intrude for Billie, as he wished him to play the banjo some more. The following is an account of the shooting as told Dr. Riddick Acker man, physician, by Mr. Evans, who attended the wounded man, as a dying statement* "Cleveland Hiers and Willie Zeigler were taking Billie Evans out of the mom, and I went out to get them turn fyim Iboaa. When I got out on the piazza I asked them to turn Billie loose, so that he could oome baric and play the banjo. Zeigler turned Evans looee and shot me. I then drew my razor to defend myself, and Zeigler shot me again. I did not know what happened after that.” The wounded man lived about two hours after he was shot He was 54 years of age. Zeigler is a young man, and is a guard on the county chain gang. The jury of inquest was impaneled yesterday by Magistrate Bryan, and they returned a verdict that the de ceased came to his death from pistol shot wounds in the hands of Willie Zeigler. The contention of Mr. Zeigler was that he shot in self defense. He claims that Evans was advancing on him with drawn razor and slashing at him. and exhibited two cuts in back of coat which he cluims was made by Evans’ razor. The testi mony at the inquest was not very clear on this point, as no one testi fied that he saw the beginning of the affair. Mr. Zeigler has retained Senator Griffin ascounscl. He came to town yesterday and surrendered to the sheriff and is now at the jail. STUDENTS HERE FOR HOLIDAYS.
