Carports I Patios! A onetime Prohibitionist mayor of Brighton found a stranger drinking on his doorstep at Orlando, and shot him to death Saturday, according to Orlando police. The ex-mayor is Josephus C. Vines, 82.

known in the Cutoff area as Cephus, who also was a Sunday School teacher. Older residents of the Brighton and Bessemer area remember him, but they were unable to recall the years he was mayor. His son, Paul Vines, also of Orlando, said his father ran for mayor of Brighton many years ago and was elected to two or three terms. Older residents estimated it was 35 or 40 years ago that he was mayor. THE VICTIM of the shooting was Tim Scott, 42, who was shot in the neck and was dead on arrival at a hospital.

Vines told a reporter the shotting was an accident. I just meant to bluff him," Vines said. I didn't even know if it was loaded." Vines, who married his fourth wife last month, said he was waiting for a friend to go to a Youth for Christ meeting when he saw a man sitting on my front steps drinking from a bottle. I asked him to leave and threatened I would call police. The man cussed me and called me all kinds of names.
