Milton lite in that city, today would say nothing more than that the shooting was purely an accident and that he did not do it. Sheriff Miller, who made a thorough investigation, refused to say anything -about the affair, except that he had the "inside story" and would "hold it back" until the proper time. Gurganous was brought here late last night, coming in an automobile with Police Chief Darby, of Hatesburg, who arrested hin and hurried his prisoner out of town to prevent pos sible trouble. Gurganous will be held in jail pending the arrival of relatives and the outcome of Mr. llite's injuries. The prisoner, a youth of about 22, of good appearance and pleasing ad dress, declined to give any details of the shooting. lie would only say that it was entirely accidental, and that he did not shoot Ilite. Furthermore he declared that in the room at the time were only he and Mr. and M.\rs. lilte. lie Sa1(1 he had been a resident of 1 atesbumrg for only six months, hav ing had charge of the llatesburg and ILeesville exchanges of the Southern 1tell Telephone and Telegraph coin lany.
