K. Bradford and Dr. Carl H Epps left a few minutes later for the scene off the killing. Arrived at Shiloh It was found that Hural Policeman W. E. McBrlde had shot and killed Willie M< Faddeti. colored when McFadden resisted arrest. Coroner Flowers summoned a Jury and a coroner's inquest was held right away. The Jury after hearing the testimony of four witnesses, who made practically the same statements, re? turned a verdict that Willie McFad den had come to his death by pistol wounds received at the hands of W. K. McBrlde and that the shooting was purely In self-defense. The testimony as given at the in? quest was that Mcliride went to the saw mill where McFadden was work? ing. He went up to him and after talking to him a few seconds, put his hand on McFadden's shoulder. Mc? Fadden seised a large Iron pipe and attempted to strike the officer with this, when McBrlde shot him through the head, death being almost Instan? taneous. The ball entered one side of rhe head and lodged under the skin on the other side. Those testifying at the Inquest were, R. W. Green. G. K. Player. 8. W. Truluck and Isaac Good- | man _ i The community was somewhat ex- ' cited over the killing, but it seemed that sentiment was almost entirely with Policeman McBrlde. IKE RullOSi: KILLED AT RATH.
