Terrible Tragedy at Shiloh Church
Brothers fight brothers, one killed, another wounded, two under BondDavid Greener stabbed and killed Jess AUTRY at the door of Shiloh Church in the east end of Carroll County Thursday night of last week, and Arthur Greener, brother of David, stabbed and seriously wounded Hubert AUTRY, brother of the dead man. The trouble started by the jarring or shoving of Mrs. Mary Hill, mother of the wife of Hubert AUTRY, who carried in her arms the baby of AUTRY. This occurred just inside the church, or at the side door. David and Arthur Greener were in the jam or crowd about the door and were accused of being responsible for the shoving. Words passed inside of the church and the preacher called them down. They left the House and other hot words followed. At this stage of the trouble, Hubert went back in the church, found his brother Jess AUTRY, sitting by the side of a girl and told him he was in trouble and needed him. Jess threw his cap in the lap of the girl saying, "If I never come back the cap is yours" and the two left the church together. The Greener boys had gone around to the front of the church, and there the parties met, and the fight ensued. There are various and conflicting reports as to what was said or done immediately preceding the fight as it was all done so quickly and in the dark, that those standing about them hardly knew what was going on. Jess AUTRY was stabbed once by David Greener, and Hubert was stabbed three times by Arthur Greener. Jess was dead in a few minutes. Hubert was carried home and has been in a serious condition since, but it is thought that he will recover. The meeting broke up. The preacher, Rev. W.H. Hopper, had called mourners and was about to call for the second prayer when the trouble began. The house was crowded with people and many were on the outside who could not get in. The parties to the trouble all lived in Henderson County. Sheriff Kennon was called and accompanied by Oscar Anderson, John Parish, and Doss Webb found the Greener boys early Friday morning. They were brought to Huntingdon and Squire McCormick fixed David's bond at $5000, and Arthur at $2000. Friends came with them and made their bonds. The preliminary trial will be September 11.
