AC , SLAYS GIRL | WHO JILTED HIM J. L. McEIroy Shoots and Instantly Kills Miss Roxie Steadman, a 17Year-OId Girl?Fires Bullet Into His Own Head?Four Shots Fired in Girl's Body. (Monday's Spartanburg Journal) Miss Roxie Steadman, a 17-year-old girl* was instantly killed this morning at 11:15 o'clock by J. L. McEIroy, in a pathway leading in the rear ol Beaumont mills No. 3. Four bullets of a 38 special were emptied in the body of the young woman and as her slayer retreated h*. fired the remaining bullets at himself, the bullet lodging in the head in the rear of the right ear. He will probably recover. McEIroy came to town and was arrested by Sheriff White in the rear of the Kennedy library. No reason of a definite nature could be procured from the earliest accounts of the killing at 1 o'clock this afternoon, but telephone communications with parties near the scene of the tragedy intimates that the killing was the result of 9. love quarrel. It is asserted that the man had been jilted by the woman recently, and that he was engaged thereby. . One shot was fired after the body fell to the ground. This shot, it is said, entered the woman's head. There were two or possibly more eye witnesses to the affair. Some heard the bullets and rushed to the scene of the shooting, but so far as can be ascertained no one reached the woman before life was extinct. The number of shots entering the body had not been ascertained this afternoon. New Residents Beaumont The Steadman girl with her mother, it is reported came to Beaumont mills from the Clifton mills three weeks ago. It is reported that McEIroy came to Beaumont village, as an operative in the card rooms, shortly after from the same place. It is supposed that the love affair was of recent origin, since it is asserted that McEIroy had only been at Clifton for a few months. He came it is stated from North Carolina. Very little is known of either of the principles in the affair by the operatives of the Beaumont mills whe were interviewed this afternoor shortly after the man was arrested Many of them, aroused over the affair came to Sheriff White's office and pledged their support in helping to apprehend the man. Upon arrival here they were somewhat surprised to be advised that the mar had already been taken into custody McElroy Arrested Less than 45 minutes after the killing was reported to the sheriff's office, McElroy was arrested by Sheriff White near the old Blake house ir the rear of the Kennedy library. Thai he did not come to the city to sur render, is asserted by Sheriff Whit< in the fact that the man when ar rested was not coming in the diree ti'on oi the city. He appeared to b< trailing across the city at this poim was probably making his way to th< west of the city. Coroner John S. Turner announc ed at 1 o'clock this afternoon thai he had secured a list of material witnesses for the inquest which he wil hold this afternoon. It is reported that after the mar was locked up he said that the gir he killed was not a lady.
