William Profit, 25, colored, form Wsorwv w u atiot about 10.80 Sabbath Hifbfc a ta point on tea Columbua pike no«r the residence o f J. C. Towngley, Internal domestic affair* 4n the' Profit fam ily aeons to, be at, the bot­ tom o f the shooting. Profit had laid in wait fo r John Johsaon, colored, who he had charged with keeping company with hi* w ife and responsible fo r the breaking o f Ms home. Both Johnson and Mrs. Profit were said to have been In Clifton and Left there about five o'clock and drove over dhe Jamison road to ; the Columbus, pike.' Profit claims that h it w ife was riding with Johnson and hw horse and buggy was, being led behind. Upon *6©iog the couple Profit, who was armed, de­ manded o f Johnson that he remain away from his Wife. Trouble ensued in "Which Profit was shot. Profit walked to W& father-in-law's Alex. Hall's,- and from there was brot to town and then taken to Xenia but he could not get into the hospital. In Xenia he was placed in the city ja il and Ms. wounds dressed b y Dr. De Haven. He maintained that he had, Shot himself in the fracuS but the Au- thorities scouted the idea. The wound Was ju s t below the heart ana,-the bul- ’ let pierced the body leaving between the .third and fourth rib*. Sheriff Funderburg'took tip the case and Monday placed, Johnson under ^ arrest. He held that he had no con- " neetion with the affair and was after­ wards released,when Profit 'claimed he had shot himself. The officers say - that it. was impossible fo r Profit to shot himself where “he Was injured without burning his clothing. It was also suspected that Mrs. Profit fired ’ the shot and that the husband who wanted her t o return to Ms home was taking the blame. Johnson is now be­ ing held fo r shooting Profit has changed Ms story and says that he did not shoot hijfesClf but that John . Johnson did. / ' ' " - Profit and his w ife have been sep­ arated fo r some time and according to Sheriff Funderburg, Johnson was warned last Saturday in the presence o f witnesses to remain away from jProfiff* wife. Sheriff Funderburg and et*tor Kenneth Williamson were . . . . . .J f lM iM f e iN M den change in statements b y the prin­ cipals placed the Officers in a position that nothing could be done* Profit first claimed, h e'sh ot himself. Then, he placed the blame on Johnson. Profit's . w ife says her husband shot himself. What the officers want is a witness to prosecute the ca se .. Johnson has been released fo r ,the second time. Unless Profit can sup­ port Ms claim by h is w ife there is po evidence against Johnson. What may read like a real pmena story is but the actual experiem. > o f Warren Barber last Thursday sfter- hocm ip Payton. Mr. Barber had been visiting to the city and left his car at a North Main street garage. While waiting in the garage fo r the attendant to bring his car down the elevator from another floor a man in plain clothe* stepped ■up from the rear and placed Ms arms around Warren but at the same time feeling his hip pockets. -Thinking that he was the victim of a holdup, Warren put on a brays face but the man flashed a gun and de­ manded that he “put ’em up” . After trying to argqe the question as to the joke, which, yet had not become a serious matter, the'cashier adviBed him to "put 'em up” which was done. This time the man searched *a coat- that was on Warren’s arrffto see that no weapons were about. The cop demanded to know what he, Warren, was doing there and was in­ formed that a car was being brought down-the elevator for Mm. He de­ manded tojknow what kind o f a car and Warren replied a Ford coupe. The officer intimated that he might be driving a Hudson but.Warren insisted not and in a few seconds the Ford eojipe was brought down. ■ The officer seeing the situation and that Warren had a check fo r the car let Mm go with an- apology .that he urns seeking a man o f bis description that had stolen a Hudson and that the man was armed. The officer to protest himself drew his "gun and- made gobd use o f it until he was convifived he lad the wrong m an ,1 When the officer was holding War- run under guard o f a gun W, L, Clemons drove into "the garage and Warren says' Ms temperature instead of-below normal gradually arose. f t was father an .unpleasant exper­ ience' to r Warren bu t under the* Cir­ cumstances the policeman was taking no chances. W e imagine after this that' “put 'em -up" will n o t always be regarded as a joke, especially when ' coking into' the mouth Of a gun.
