THE RICHMOND PLANET GRUESOME MURDER IN FULTON WILLIAM YATES KILLS SHEPHERD GRAY----NO HELP FOR THE VICTIM--INHUMAN CUTTING. Trivial Excuse Given---Ex-inmate of Lunatic Asylum. VOLUME XLII, NO. 37 GRUES WILLIAM HELP FO Trivia A gruesome tragedy took place in Fulton late Saturday night, 18th inst., when William Yates disembowelled and cut to death Shepherd Gray, an employee at the Federal Reserva Bank. John Mitchell, Jr. called at the city jail-Monday afternoon, where Deputy City Sargeant Saunders was in active charge. In the grated enclosure stood a brown-skinned man, tall and of medium build. He wore a shirt, which was bloodshedred. He said that he was born in Dawndie County, Va. and was 41 years of age. OWED HIM SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS He stated that a man owed him 75 cents and there was some dispute over it. The man finally paid him the 75 cents. This took place in Burnell Jeffress' store after 11 o'clock Saturday night. He had a dispute with Shepherd Gray. Gray cut him with with a butcher knife and he pointed to his bloody shirt. He then cut Gray with the razor. Being pressed to state what the dispute was about, he only responded that they had a dispute. Yates said he had been married. He was living alone now. He resided at 910 State Street, Fulton. FUNERAL PREPARATIONS A visit to Robert C. Scott's undertaking establishment revealed the fact that Shepherd Gray, whose remains were there, had a wife, two sons and three grandchildren and also a sister, Mrs. Sarah Burley, who resides in Petersburg, Va. The widow was making arrangements then for the funeral. She selected a fine couch casket. In the morgue were Shepherd Grays' remains. His face did not disclose any evidence of the terrible experience through which he had passed. He was a large, clean faced plethoric man of dark complexion. WITNESSES ABSENT. H₀ reminded one of the old fashioned, well trained servant class of other days. The coroner's jury, with Coroner Whitfield presiding me at the City Hall, coroner's office Tuesday afternoon at 3:30. Owing to some misunderstanding the witnesses did not appear. After much delay, Officer F. A. Campodonico testified: "I arrested William Yates, Sunday morning about 1 o'clock, 19th inst, at Fulton Cafeteria, 830 Denny St. for cutting Shepherd Gray. He was out at the door, coming in. BOASTED HE CUT HIM. "Gray at that time was in St. Philips Hospital." Yates said I cut the son of a b.... as long as I could see a piece of him. I cut him. Him and Tom had some trouble, both being bootleggers. Tom went home to get his gun and he had gone home to get his razor. Shepherd took it up and stuck him with a butch-knife as he passed. Gray had one of those little thin cuts on one side in front. He said he overtook Gray and cut the son of a b.... as long as he could see a piece of him. TOOK TOM'S PART He said Shepherd Gray didn't have anything to do with it. He took Tom's part. Yates had been drinking. He was wild, when I arrested him. He reminded me somewhat of a crazy man. I notified Yates that Gray was dead. He said, Is he dead? I made a good job of it, didn't I? He seemed to be very mad when I arrested him. I arrested him about 30 or 40 minutes after the cutting. I couldn't find the razor. He had dropped it. TRIED TO SAVE GRAY. Burnell Jeffress said, "I saw William Yates cut Shepherd Gray Saturday night. The cutting was done on Gilliam Street near Denny Street. I was in the store and saw the man cutting so much, I ran out and tried to stop him. I run the Fulton Cafeteria. 830 Denny Street. About 12:35 A. M., 19th. Yates came in and ran Shepherd Gray out of the place, with a razor. William Yates cut himself in lunging at Shepherd with the razor over an oval table. He leaned over the table, while Shepherd yas trying to avoid him. PREPARING SANDWICHES. "Gray was back in the kitchen and Yates ran Gray out, cutting at Gray. Yates said, 'He has cut me.' I said. No, he didn't you cut yourself. Gray ran out to the street with Yates following him. He caught up with him after crossing the street and cut him in the back. Gray fell in the car track. Then he cut him again. After he got up at the side of a house, Yates held him up against the side of the house and cut him in front. He gets away from the side of the house. I shoved him from Gray, when Gray started again across the track, holding him self up in front. FELL, IN CAR TRACK. "He fell in the car track again and Yates cut him in the back again. Yates' brother was there and he was afraid to go to him. He said. 'Don't cut that man'. Shepherd got up and tried to get into my store. I shoved Yates away and he started to cut me. He tried to get into the door to cut him again." "Why was it that some one didn't shoot him?" enquired the coroner. "No one seemed willing to do it. Jeffress had no gun. Gray came in and asked me for a drink of water. He fell over on the floor. Then the ambulance came. Two or three fellows were talking to Yates and he went home, where he got rid of the razor. DETERMINED TO KILL HIM "Gray ran out of the kitchen with a butcher knife in his hand. He had been preparing sandwiches with it. He lost the knife in the street. He made no attempt to use it. He said Willie, what's the matter, are you crazy. Yates said. Yes, I'm crazy until I kill you. Gray never struck at Yates with the knife. I did not see Gray drink. Yates was a quarrel some man. Gray was not quarrelsome and he would not hurt anybody. Yates has been to the lunatic asylum at Petersburg. He broke out from there and walked all the way to Richmond. The jury found that Gray came to his death at the hands of William Yates. --- WE START YOU IN A GOOD PROFITABLE BUSINESS of your own selling goods on trust. Write for our great offer at once.

Elbert Brown, old and with the burden and sorrows of seventy years telling in his face and body, dropped into a Wichita, Kan., pawnshop the other day. From the pocket of his threadbare jacket he pulled his watch chain, made of human hair, and held together with bands of gold, and banded it to the shopkeeper. Clumsily he brushed at a tear as he pocketed the change. And then with reluctance he told this story. Half a century ago he and his wife, then in the bloom of youth, traveled along the Oregon Trail for the Northwest. They joined up with another wagon train on the way, and then his wife disappeared. She went away with another member of the train. Years he searched over the west, always hoping to find her. He knew on the door It opened. He fell into the arms of his wife. But from the farther side of the room, a pistol blazed. It was fired by the other man. The aim was won, and the woman stopped the batte. She dined in her husband's arms. "The chair is made from her so" the aged man finished his story. "I cut several bones before nosed them there in the desert." THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA By Stanley YOU HA, HA!

(Preston News Service) Frank Bohn (white), feature ayriter and economic specialist. gloomily writes from New York that Cotton is no longer king of the, Southland. “Our cotton states’, says Mr. Hohn “face the second great change of their history since their labor system was destroyed during the Civil War" Lamentingly, Mr. Bohn continues by saying: “A totally false notion obtains in the North that the South is prosperous, This is true only of a very small class of citics. The job of teaching the ma- jority ‘under present conditions, is a task be fore which anybody might despair. Consider ably more than half the workers “in th: uithern fields east of the Mississippi are Negroes. About the half the remainder are white tenant farmers, Both these classes are generally incapable of modern farm practices. * Mr. Bohn concludes his lamentations by saying that ‘the South deserves what she has never received from the North—She de serves to be understood, She has been looked upén as thongh the burdens which have bowed her down for a century sprang from a moral and not an économie evil”, . A painstaking check-up sof Mr, Bohn’s assertions reveals grave inconsistencies. While the South is having great difficulty in apply- ing modern agricultural methods to its cotton cultivation ant cther similar pursuits, Ne- grocs who have abandoned the old time cotton fields of the South for new ones in iton states farther north» Missouri for itr stance, have readily acquired a working” knowledge of modern methods. This is openly attested to by the jump which Missouri is taking, under Negro labor: in cotton produc tion. It is axiomatic: of course, that manual labor is distasteful to the white man of the South, who is still grieving over Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and its resultant constitutional amendments. | The hide bound South is equally dormant in installing modern cotton and farming machinery. The experiment which was made by North Carolina, in the textile industry, within a five year period brught that State and industry ttp to a near parity with Massa chusetts: Tt is no one’s fault but the South’s that it is still half asleep as to the efficacy of modern farm methods now in constant use North and West. Low wages, long hours: the dephivation of its black citizenry of mod etn training and education will never produce a labor army of efficiency. Where the South has done otherwise, in the steel industry, for instance, her progress has heen marked. With much respect for Mr. Bohn, we think that the North does understand the South, and suggest that for the last half century the effort has been made to create in the South full respect for the U. S. Constitu tion and its amendments, the evasion of which has raised the South's moral backwardness to mountain size, and her economic dormancy to mole hill dimensions, And the fact that Cotton is no longer king in Dixieland is directly due to the former evilfrather than the latter. Mod’ ernism in ethics and Jaw is the parent of modernism in agriculture, and even in cotton cultivation, itself. & QP Once more the great white world of music has had to doff its hat to the voice of color, and word comes from Little Old New York that the dofting was done with grace and congratulations Our own Marian Anderson, mezzo soprano, in a contest with three hum dyed singers, who were competing in the New (Suc C.

From Detroit comes the report of bitterness not unline that which followed in the wake of the.

In Oregon, the proximate cause of the mob’s fury was an unscrupulous American employer who ricrochetted Japanese labor in the face of Amrican labor, An appeal to the American. ism of such employers, of whom there are hundreds, and not to the mob spirit, is the one and only appropriate method of handling stich infractions upon American independence.

Mister Harry Wills. Life on the Montemarte has, however, made Jack a bit talkative and he adntits that for a sufficient number of rocks to float a bank, he is willing to fight’ any of the white second raters, with which the pug- ilistic market is now surfeited. Will he fight Mister Wills? Well, says Mister Dempsey, on a “never do today that which you can put off until tomorrow basis” ‘after a while.” Once upon a time (ignoring race as we always do whenever we can) we believed that Mr. Dempsey was a-better man than Mister Wills; but, actions speak louder than words, and after all these months of stalling, We are convinced that deep down in his heart Jack mows that Harry could knick the cham. pion into the solar system. Jack is a better runner than Tommy Burns, a better talker than Gentleman Jim Corbett. a superior di. plomat to Kid Lavigne; but as a shock ab- sorber, sportsman and fighter. the comparison is odious; and we are forced to admit, without reservations, that our belief in Jack’s pugil- istic prowess has waned down to zero. We dare not prophesy that the champion will ever agree to put on the gloves with Marry Wills, who is running the gamut of disappointment in his challenges to Dempsey. White supremacy must not, cannot fail; and when it might fail—well, the law of evasion steps in and makes it duit, cold, knocked down to the mat, as it were, by Fear, the disturber of the peace of men and the undeniable master of near-men, «.The spectacle of the slick-footed, globe trotting Dempsey is the saddest picture of might we have ever seen, Had such evasions been condoned in the days of Peter Jackson, George Dixon, John 1, Sullivan, Bob Fitz- simmons and ‘Tom Sharkey, the Marquis of Kucensbury would have committed hari-kari and Kid McCoy would now be the undisputed champion of the world, And if it were not condoned by the white sport world of today, it would probably be “Good Evenin’ Mister Dempsey—the stars are shining’.

Great has been the service rendered the entire community by members of our Group and the city has appreciated it as never before in its life of more than 105 years. The Memphis Commercial Appeal, which has the largest circulation of any white newspaper in the entire South, has given large space daily for more than six weeks past to raising funds to buy a home for Tom Lee, the hero of the "Norman" disaster when that boat sank in the Mississippi in May. Mr. Lee, passing in a launch, pulled back to the sinking ship and saved life after life, carrying a load to shore and then hurrying back to the doomed hulk. In all, single-handed, the hero rescued thirty-two men, women and children. To date the Commercial Appeal has raised nearly three thousands dollars towards the Lee home.

Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel, without the desired benefit.

FIVZ monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncreatern terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloos," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:—"This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY, THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimie self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also cured cured.

ROCKEFELLER, AGE 86. England dislikes President Coolidge's Fourth of July address and says there is nothing in it to "show that the President has tried to master the facts concerning Europe." That, however, isn't what interests the United States. The President HAS mastered facts concerning THIS country. He has mastered the fact that when you lend money you expect to get it back. And he seems to have mastered the fact that the business of the United States and of the President is to attend to the United States and keep out of foreign complications. THAT SUITS THE UNITED STATES. A little girl of seven set fire to six houses and was sent to an industrial school for correction. Not long ago this child would have been punished with death, perhaps by burning, first being encouraged to denounce the "witch" whose evil spirits had compelled her to set the fires. The world is not so bad as it was once, even if it seems less religious. The Government will sell great cannliers that don't pay, including the Leviathan. Suppose the most country in the world would win its ships without extravagant ties, brass bands, etc., and allow school teachers, high school and college students to go to Europe and back at cost, or, better still, FREE of cost. How much would it be worth to this nation to have 20,000 teachers and young students and study Europe every year? But nothing of that kind could be done, would be eradicated.

Her girl friend painted fruit boxes to buy food for two, while Rosa Bonheur painted pictures that made her famous, and undoubtedly gave her self-sacrificing friend a place in Heaven. Who would have known Rosa Bonheur had a rich man adopted her? With lights shining along the road, Uncle Sam's flying mail ships go by night between New York and Chicago. That is progress.

He plays his usual round of golf, weather permitting, quite content with 43 for 9 holes, and with his milk and seltzer, toast and perhaps two ounces of meat. It is hard for some to realize that golf, exercise that anybody can take with a stick and a round pebble, not more than 20 cents worth of food a day and a bed to sleep in are all that Mr. Rockefeller gets from his great fortune. What will history say of John D. Rockefeller, whose work and success better than that of any other man, with the possible exception of Henry Ford, typifies this industrial age? He will be praised because he has never set a bad example of ostentation and extravagance to embitter the poor. All except his contributions to knowledge will be forgotten in 500 years. But 1,000 years hence, histories will carry the picture of John D. Rockefeller and will say of him: "This is the man who proved competition to be wasteful and unnecessary.

She enlists the assistance of her lover— NORMAN SLATER, captain in the Rifle Brigade, in obtaining evidence to convict Sir Dudley. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Perhaps you would oblige this worthy officer's longing for the weird." Sir Dudley addressed Willoughby Melville, who rose and left the room. "My friend, Doctor Melville, has been making a private autopsy on the bit of bone," Sir Dudley rattled on. "Have a glass of port, servant?" CHAPTER III Mrs. Coningsby Peeps KATHLEEN'S bedroom was on the main landing at the head of the fine old staircase, at the Grange. It was still quite early, for the house party had retired for the night soon after dinner, spending but little time in the drawing-room, where an air of constraint had prevailed. Kathleen was in no hurry to undress. Seating herself in an easy-chair she strove to recall every phase of the mystery surrounding her brother's fate. The process carried her back to a period about a year before the death of Sir Philip Glenister, her father. There had suddenly arisen a violent quarrel between the old baronet, and his heir, the cause of which had been carefully concealed from her. George had left the Grange in high dudgeon, taking a tender farewell of his sister, but merely telling her that he was going to the western states of America. Six months later she had had a letter from him dated from Lone Wolf City in Montana, informing her that he was well and engaged in prospecting for gold. Kathleen remembered that she had mentioned this letter, and the place whence it was written, to her cousin Dudley when he had spent a week-end at Beechwood Grange. Shortly afterwards Sir Philip had been struck with a mortal sickness which killed him in three days, and during which he had been too ill to allude to his son and heir. by the time the leisurely, old-fashioned lawyers had sent out a representative to Montana and procured evidence which after the law's delays established the fact of George Glenstein's death and gave the baronety and Beechwood Grange to Dudley, the latter's cousin sympathy had merged into something warmer. He had begged her to suit her own convenience in leaving her own home, hinting that there was a very simple plan by which she need not leave it all. The result had been that with all speed she had put herself under the protection of her relative, Lady Marmules, and had gone to live with that eccentric dowager in Cudogan Gardens. What would Dudley's next move be, Kathleen asked herself, if he had murdered George and left his body so lightly hidden that a caribird bird could molest it? He would go out that very night, and under cover of the darkness, hide it more effectively before the two searches, one by the Try Your Luck With Credit for this week's cross-word contains mostly very simple words.

Having changed into outdoor garments and put on stout boots and a tweed cap, she opened her bedroom door by a few inches. The light on the landing had been extinguished, a sure sign that the master of the house had come up to bed. The girl closed her own door noiselessly and tiptoed over the thick carpet into one of several passages that branched from the landing. She drummed lightly but insistently on one of the doors till it was opened to her by Norman Slater, still dressed and smoking a cigaret. After one glance at her face he stood aside for her to "LOOK HERE, MY FRIEND," MUCH AND I ADMIRE YOUR HON enter, and gently shutting the door turned the key. "Don't look so scared," she whispered. "It's me, not you, that's up against Mrs. Grundy if we're spotted. Don't ask questions, but put on some boots and come to my room on the 'anding." Seeing that his ladylove was in no mood for argument, with a soldier's promptness in face of an emergency Norman did as he was bid, and they stole to Kathleen's room. There in bated tones she explained what she wanted. Dudley would sneak out to hide the traces of his crime, and they would follow and confound him. She had hardly finished the breathless recital of her project when it was justified by an almost inaudible sound across the landing. Probably they would not have heard it at all if they had not been staring in silence at each other for a decision. The sound was unmistakably the cautious opening and shutting of a door. "You've hit it," whispered Norman. He's on the move. "We had better give him a good start." said Kathleen. "He is sure with This Deep One I puzzle goes to Waldo E. Frohard and the ones that aren't simp to leave the house by the side entrance through the gun-room." THE moon had lifted well over the trees surrounding the glade where the crow had dropped its slender burden. On leaving the house by the gun-room door, Kathleen and her companion had seen no sign of Sir Dudley Glenister, and they had agreed to make for this place of evil omen. There they would be the better able to get their bearings as to the direction whence the predatory bird had flown. So they came to the borders of the glade and in eager expectancy peered into the open space. At any other time they might have been struck by the contrast between the earlier scene—the profuse lunch table with its crowd of chattering guests—and the silent vista of tree-girt, moonlit solitude, carpeted with moss and ferns. "There he is!" Kathleen scarcely breathed, clutching Norman's arm. "On that stump to the left." Sure enough, on the trunk of an oak that had been felled, a man was SHE SAID. "I LIKE YOU VERY NESTY." "He must have heard us following and is waiting for us to come up," Kathleen added. "Shall we show ourselves and openly accuse him, or go back?" But Norman was slow to reply. "That is not Sir Dudley," he said at length. "Not so tall by six inches, and he is wearing an inerness cape—a thing I don't believe your cousin possesses." "Doctor Melville has got an inerness," rejoined Kathleen tentatively. "It isn't Melville," said Norman. Motionless as a graven image, the man on the stump watched their advance as they broke cover and emerged into the moonlight. As soon as they were near enough for recognition he rose and took off his cap. "Miss Glenister" he exclaimed. "I was wondering who was 'abroad in the woods. For some little time I have heard some one moving about." "Why, it's my Coine." said Kathleen. "We too have been wondering.
