One Bullet Kills Two Innocent Men In Columbus Row

Charles McDaniel and J.R. Hayes, Disinterested Bystanders Victims Of Pistols
Fired By Bob Parr

Columbus, Ga., June 29 – Two men are dead and a person charged with the killing
is in jail as a result of a shooting affair on North Highlands at 2:30 o’clock
this morning, when a single bullet killed two innocent bystanders.

The dead Charles McDaniel, 25.  J.R. Hayes, 24, thought to be a resident of
Chambers, Alabama.

Bob Parr is alleged to have fired the shot.  He gave himself up to the officers
sometime after the shooting this morning, still professing innocence.  Several
eye witnesses testified he did the shooting.

Ollie Jones and Parr, it is said, were quarreling over a $5 and a $1 bill, while
McDaniel and Hayes were standing near by.  Parr is said to have shouted to
McDaniel and Hayes to look out and fired at Jones, the bullet going wide of its
mark and killing the two men.

McDaniel was shot through the heart, while the bullet entering Hayes’ back and
came out slightly above his heart.

After being lodged in the Muscogee jail, Parr and Jones engaged in a fight, when
the former is said to have queried Parr as to why he shot them.  They were then
placed in separate cells.

Parr is held for murder, while Jones is held pending further investigation.
