Raleigh Special. 21st, Charlotte Observer. The greatest social and criminal sensation Raleigh has ever known developed at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon when, on Fayetteville street, Ernest Haywood shot and killed Ludlow Skjn--ner. The prominence of both families is marked. Haywood is a grandson of the late State Treasurer John Haywood and a son of the late Dr.

E. Burke Haywood and one of Raleigh's leading lawyers. Skinner was a grandson jof the late Mr. Ludlow, of New York, and a son of Rev. Thos.

E. Skinner, of Raleigh, one of Ihe best known and ablest Baptists in the South. At least a hundred persons must have seen the shooting, certainly that number saw the victim of Haywood's revolver as he reeled and fell upon his face on the car track in front of the postoffice and Yarborough house and not 40 yards from the court bouse. One witness said the expression of the dying man's face was piteous beyond all telling and that he will never forget it. A thousand persons gathered al most in a minute.

The dead bodv was taken into a drug store. Mr. I. E. Avery, of the Charlotte Observer, went to Raleigh Sunday and got (the facts in the case, which are given in Monday's Observer.

Haywood says he will plead self defence and it is currently reported that temporary insanity will be set up as a defence. Haywood says Skinner knocked him down without warning; that he got up and both drew weapons but he was the quicker of the two. He says he can prove ttis by three witnesses, but their names are not On the other hand all the eye-witnesses state that Haywood shot at Skinner while his back waa turned; that Skin ner looked and saw who was shooting and started to run away, and then Haywood fired the second shot and killed rhino. Haywood attorneys will ask for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging self defence. A scandal was at the back of the trouble.

Mr. Skinner married a daughter of the late Major John H. Winder. Another daughter of Major Winder. Miss Gertrude, married Wm.

Tucker, the only son of the late- Major Rufus Tucker, of Raleigh. A few years ago Mr. Tucker died and his young widow; said to be a most beautiful woman, spent a few years in Germany. After Maj. Tucker's death Ernest Hsywood became legal manager of the Tucker estate, or acted in the capacity of advisor to Mrs.

Florence Tucker, the widow of Major Tucker. The position of Mr. Haywood threwiiim in more or less intimate contact with Mrs. Gertrude Tucker. More than a year agp it was whispered in social circles in Raleigh that Mia.

William Tucker and Mr. Ernest Haywood had been secretly married. The report soon became town talk in city and went outside of Raleigh, but found no confirmation from either of the alleged contracting parties. The world saw that Mr. Hayj-wood and Mrs.

Tucker were together a great deal in Raleigh and tben it became known that they had been out of town together in the larger Northern 'I' Scandal inevitably resulted, and for many months Mrs. Gertrude Tucker has not been in Raleigh. Sometimes her three children were with her as she ITCHING ECZEMA Ail mi Baiiri Soli Instant Rslisf ini SpeeJj Cob Afforded bj Citicira Stsp, OiitiEit Hlli COMPLETE TREATUEHT, The agoelxlnf ltchlu aod boraln jf of ti akta, as la ertwma thm fruitful ta orlaU; the toe of hair ami cruaUag of the scalp, a Is calM brad the facial ditfljpirrwnL, a la pitnplee aod ringworm the a ful ul-lering of. infinu and the aaxWty of worn-out parents, a In milk crust, letter and aalt rheum, all demand a rm-edy almoet suprrhuntaa virtue to ucceMfullj cope with them.
