officers, Medlin, Moran and Lewis Carr, local attorney, drove to
the home of Bennett. They stopped their car in fromt of Bennett's residence

the shots is thought to have struck Moran, although Medlin insists that
he did not shoot the salesman.
According to Mrs. Bennett, the occupants
of the Medlin car attacked her husband. He called for a shot gun, she says,
and their little daughter carried it to him. Just as the child reached
her parent, Mrs. Bennett says Carr seized the gun and threw it into a ditch.
Then, the widow states, Medlin started shooting.
Officers have ben unable to learn

in Nashville, Tenn. He moved to Cleveland twelve years ago and serves
churches in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
Dr. Phillips' book, titled
"From
the Farm to the Bishopric" is an interesting story of the clergyman's
life from 1858, when he was born in Milledgeville, Ga., to the present
day.
"Though born in slavery, I
was too young to know anything experimentally of that institution," Bishop
Phillips writes.
The book records his experiences
on the farm where he was born, in college where he won numerous degrees
and in ecclesiastical life, where he has won for himself many pastorates
and many honors. There are interesting notes on his four trips to Europe
as a delegate to conferences.
