From the Caucasian and Raleigh Enterprise, September 8, 1910
Durham, N.C., Sept. 6—Deputy W.P. McDade of Hillsboro, who
came here to-day for Walker Calvin Hendrix, charged with burglary, brought the
story of a homicide in which Ed Garrett died as the result of being shot by
Rufus Suite.
The murder is made all the more deplorable by reason of the
fact that Suite shot the wrong man. It occurred yesterday afternoon near a
spring, eight miles from Hillsboro. An old feud between Suite and another
Garrett, a cousin of the victim, resulted in the resumption of trouble. Yesterday
when Suite singled out his supposed victim, he fired squirrel shot into his
body, causing death 20 hours later. He has surrendered.
