LBatesburg, lec. 7.-.I. M. lite, a
prominent young mlan and a warden

hore Immediately -after the probably
fatal shooting of J. 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.
