Killed Fellow Student

Two Young Men Have Fatal Encounter at Atlanta Dental College

Atlanta, Feb. 11 – As the result of a quarrel which occurred Saturday night and 
which was renewed yesterday morning, W. Jesse Pope died at the hospital last 
night at 10:30 o’clock from a knife stab near the heart, and T.J. Granade is 
held at the police barracks to answer for young Pope’s death.

The difficulty took place in the clinic room of the Atlanta Dental College, on 
Marietta Street yesterday morning and was witnessed by a number of students and 
patients.

Both young men were dental students. Granade lives In Washington County, Ala. 
and Pope is a son of J.C. Pope of Americus, Ga.

The difficulty seems to have occurred about a young lady.  Granade claims that 
he acted in self-defense but there are conflicting opinions regarding the 
unfortunate affair.
