CLAIMS IT WAS DUE TO ACCIDENT Son Hurried to Hospital With .38 Calibre Bullet in His Stom? ach?Neiglibors Heard Quar? rel in Stable Just Before Shot Was Fired?Trag? edy in County. Thomas H. Samuels, known as "Cyclone,'' and looked upon as one of the most unique characters In Hen rlco county, where he has served as 1 a constable for Varlna District, last night shot and probably mortally wounded his son, John 11. Samuels, Ihlrty-nve years old. The shooting look place In the . stable of Samuels's liome in the Os born Turnpike, two miles below Ful? ton. .Samuels claimed that it wab an accident, but it was alleged that he had quarreled with his son, and while ' in a rage shot him. The bullet, of .3fc calibre entered the younger man's stomach. He was brought to the Ketreat for the Sick by Dr. H L. Reams and an operation was performed at once. It was said that he would likely die. Father Sent to Jail. -, News of the shooting quickly spread, ; and the father was placed under ar? rest by Special Officer M. T. Barlow. He was taken to the Henrlco County Jail and held without ball. [ When placed under arrest the prls I oner behaved like a maniac. All the ! way to Jail he shrieked and screamed. Finally placed behind the bars, his acts became more and more like those of a modmon. He Jumped about his cell, beating his head against the wall, he screamed, pulled t*? the heavy steel bars and prayed. He called upon all of the powers to attest that the shooting was an acci? dent, and it was with difficulty that he 1 was restrained from doing himself bodily harm. In the recent primary Samuelf was defeated for re-election as constable i by Harvey Southward. This fact I seemed to prey upon his mind, and I those who came In contact with him I noticed a decide'd change in him. For ja long while his mind is said to have ! been weak. His memory was always I poor, and when his friends heard of ' the shooting last night and saw and I talked with him, they pronounced him as mad as a March hare. That he had frequent quarrels with : his son was known. His temper, when I aroused, had always been violent. : Knowing these things, It was said . that he was not accountable for the . shooting. As constable the money Samuels i earned was not sufficient to supply his [ needs. He was cared for by his son, 1 who was employed at the plant of the Richmond Cedar Works. No Witnesses Found. As far as could be learned, no one witnessed the shooting. According to the prisoner, he was at home about 7 o'clock, when he had occasion to go to the stable to get a bundle he had left In a vehicle. Being dark, he 1 struck a match. At this point, he says, his son en ; tered the place and cautioned hitsi about j fire. It appears that John Samuels was ; angry, and. according to his father's ,' story, he swore and cursed the old ! man. . "Cyclone" said that he turned to leave his son, and stooping over to pick up his package, his gun was accidentally ; discharged. Neighbors declare that they heard j Samuels shouting and apparently quar? reling with the son several minutes be? fore there was the sound of a revolv? er's report. The .prisoner was brought to the county jail and placed in charge of Deputy Sheriff Joseph Dyne. With the i babble of about two dozen animated I voices and the cries and groans of 1 Samuels, the scene bordered on pande? monium. In lienttlr's Old Cell. j When escorted to the cell which was I occupied by Henry Clay Bentlle. Jr.. i now in the City Jail undor sentence of ' death for the murder of his young ; wife, Samuels became more wild. ? He I raved, stamped and swore. He would j quiet down at intervals and pray. In broken sentences he offered himself ? self-pity, and would then cry out that \ it was an accident. I Samuels Is a veteran of the Confed? erate States Army. In his body to? day he claims to have eight bullet wounds received in battle. He was a 1 native of Caroline county. Ho has had I many rare experiences and adventures j while serving for more than u score of years as a constable, and has llg ured prom'nenily In the newspapers. He is known to almost every man, I woman and child In Henrlco and many I in the city. OVERCOME BY DISSIPATION I Graduate of Dublin University Ar? raigned for Disorderly Conduct.

RICHMOND SPIRIT STIRS BOOSTERS Missionaries of Pros? perity Get Together at Smoker. W. T. DABi\EY IS CHIEF OPTIMIST Tells Boosters Gathered at Jef? ferson of City's Opportunity to Get Acquainted With Present and Possible Cus? tomers?B a d g e s and Tickets Distributed. Enthusiasm flowing like the prom? ised streams of milk and honey last night marked the smoker given in honor of the Richmond Boosters in the auditorium of the Jefferson Hotel, and If any dependence can be placed in prophecy in these days of prophets, then the tour througli Virginia and North Carolina must result in a new era of trade and commercial friendli? ness between the people of the two .States. There were no set speeches last night. The affair was Informal. Just a boost for the Boosters by way of encouragement and a little talk to show what the city of Richmond ex? pects of her volunteer delegates who go forth early Monday morning to preach a new gospel of prosperity. When J. St. George Bryan, of The Times-Dispatch, and W. T. Dabney, business manager of the Chamber of Commerce, finished thotr talks, the Boosters, of whom, with their friends, about 200 were present, enjoyed a smoker and slight repast and talked together over the things they expect to do on tho tour and of how they propose to boost tho city In which they live and in which all expect to end their days. Souvenir badges bear? ing the insignia "First Annual Rich? mond Boosters' Tour, October'2, 3, 4, 1311, under the auspices of The Times Dispatch." were given to all the dele gotes, and every* man got his reserva? tion slip to show where he must live and sleep during these three days. Chief Booster Talks. Mr. Dabney, himself the original Booster of Richmond, took the floor as the representative of the Chamber of Commerce, to which, after the much talktd-of tour had developed beyond all expociatla:.i, complete charge of the trip was turned over by The Times-Dlepatch. "We all know what The Times-Dis? patch has done," be said, "and we have been told what to do, and now we must know how to do It. This tour, exclusively in the Interest of Rich? mond, was originated by The Times Dispatch, but it developed Into such proportions that they gave charge of it to the Chamber of Commerce, in which all of us are interested. But I think it fitting that Mr. St. George Bryan should give you some explana as to what It means and as to the pur? pose for which it Is started." He In? troduced Mr. Bryan, who, in a few words, told how the Idea originated, and what had bc^-n contempltcd when the tour was first planned. "We saw." he said, "what other pa? pers in the country' were doing in the way of sending boosters' tours through their territory, and Ihe idea was sug? gested to us. We went to the Cham? ber of Commerce and saw Mr. Dabney, and asked him if he had thought of arranging for such a tour. He suld that the idea had occurred to him. But the arrangements for tho tour as? sumed such proportions that we turned the plan over to him, and Mr. Dabney now has complete charge of the trip. He will tell you all about It, Inform I you as to its purpose and give you the details of the arrangements which have been made." Mr. Bryan, as tho promoter of this advertising tour, which Is to make Richmond more wide? ly known thun the city ever was be? fore, was heartily cheered. Richmond's A.fTnlr. "You know what a good city we have." said Mr. Dabney. resuming the stand, "and we want to tell everybody about it, for there are a few people in the world who are not so well ac? quainted with the good qualities of this city as are we. I have in an hum? ble way assumed charge of tiiis Boost? ers' tour and consented to ia'ckle the affair, but it must t.e recognized at the beginning thai this is your affair, the affair of Richmond, and that we must all pull together. l^et that be our slo i gati. for this pulling together in Ihe Interests of Richmond is the paramount consideration In this move. All that w-e shall do will be done for Richmond, and all will bo benefited by It. "We leave here at 12: l.r. o'clock Mon dny morning, and the trip will continue through three days. Here you will get I your reservation slips," and he ex ; plained to the Boosters how to come I up und get their tickets. "We go to ' twenty-live cities." he continued, "and the question is to go out and get the greatcs! amount of Rood we. can out of the time which hua been allotted o us. My understanding Is that we must go out nnd tell how wo appreciate the trade relations of Ihe past and of how much we desire to continue and to In? crease them It will be undignified for us to solicit orders. That, a; T under? stand It. Is not our purpose. Our prin? cipal object is to shake hands with tho man who has been trading with us and to shake hands equally as cordially with prospective traders. Practical llcuUs. "Vou may expoci to have a great many complimentary orders given you In token of tho appreciation the people will have for us in those towns In which we stop. North Cnrollna, South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama and Mis? sissippi have contributed largely to the products of our manufacturing plnnfs, and we must tell them of these products.
