Man Who Killed P. A. Jeter Recently Must Remain in Prison To Await Action of Grand Jury
A special to the Picayune from Hickory gives the following account of the tragedy which occurred north of Hickory several days ago, brief mention of which was made in this paper last week, and the result of the preliminary trial.
The trial of T. J. Hyatt, charged with killing P. A. Jeter, was concluded here yesterday, and Hyatt was committed to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury. The trouble which led to the killing arose over some stock belonging to Jeter which was taken up by Hyatt some time in the early part of the fall, for which Hyatt assessed damages against Jeter.
Last week Jeter took up some hogs belonging to Hyatt and notified him at the same time that he had done so, and asked him to send and get them. Hyatt went immediately to Jeters house and asked him where the hogs were, when Jeter replied that they were in a stable.
Hyatt then told Jeter to turn them out, when Jeter asked him where his dollar was. Hyatt told him that he had plenty of money and could pay him. Jeter told Hyatt that he had been lying to him all the year. Hyatt drew a gun on Jeter and told him he must not call him (Hyatt) a liar. Jeter called to his wife to bring him his gun, but before she could reach him Hyatt stopped her, and Mr. Carpenter, a friend of both men, told them that neither of them needed a gun, and Hyatt then dropped his gun and went home.
Ira Jeter, a 10-year-old son of Jeter, testified that he and his father were in Hickory Saturday, the day of the killing; that on their way home that afternoon they were overtaken by Hyatt and two of his sons, that Hyatt drove up to their wagon and got out of his buggy, and walked to the side of Jeters wagon, when Jeter asked him what he was doing there. Hyatt replied that he was going to kill him, at the same time firing one shot, which took effect.
The trial was held before Justice of the Peace Leroy Dease, with George C. Tann representing the defendant, and J. L. Hopkins, an attorney of Chicago, and M. P. Foy, of Decatur, representing the prosecution. Several witnesses were introduced for the state and they testified that Jeter
was not armed when they reached him.
Note: Pinkney is buried in the old nearby part of Oakland Cemetery and grave is unmarked. Wife was living with her son Ira in Concord, Alabama at the time of her death. She is buried in her son Ira's family plot in Concord, Alabama.
