OFFICER IS KILLED BY BULLET
Negro Boy Charged With Corsicana Shooting Brought to Dallas Jail Last Night.
Special to the News
Corsicana, Tex., June 26. - E. N. Hanks, deputy constable, was shot and
instantly killed here last night as he entered a negro restaurant to make an
arrest. One shot was fired, the bullet from a pistol taking effect in the
breast, causing instant death. Borne White, a negro about 16 years old, who
was arrested today at Rice, is charged with killing the officer.
Considerable excitement prevailed here this evening, when more than 300 men
gathered around the jail and demanded the prisoner whom they believed had
been brought here. The Sheriff stood in the door of the jail and assured the
mob that the negro was taken to Dallas. Satisfied with this explanation, the
gathering quietly dispersed.
White, accompanied by another boy of his color, left Corsicana immediately
after the shooting. Today he turned up at Rice, where he was taken into
custody.

Judge Neblett Pronounced Eulogy Over Bier of Horace Ballew, brother of W. W.
Ballew and H. C. Ballew of Corsicana, died at his home at Richland recently.
He had been a resident of this county for many years and was well known. A
number of friends living in Corsicana went to Richland and attended the
funeral. Among them was Judge R. S. Neblett, who delivered the following
eulogy at the funeral.
My Friends—The occasion which calls us together is one of sadness and causes
us to pause and reflect., stirs our sympathies and demands an expression of
appreciation of the live and sentiments of him who is now no more.
The shadow of death has fallen across the pathway of loved ones and friends,
and now in that shadow we look over the past, contemplate the present and
hope for the future.
It was not my privilege to enjoy that close relation of friendship and
confidence with the deceased that for a quarter of a century I have held and
enjoyed with his brothers, nor that close acquaintance which I have for many
years enjoyed and appreciated with his worthy sisters. His family has
complimented me in the request that I perform this service which I now
render, in a brief review of his relations with his fellowmen and his views
toward life. I appreciate the compliment and I willingly perform the
service.
Horace Ballew, I believe, was reared in Navarro County, and for more than a
quarter of a century he lived among the people of this immediate locality.
They knew him and of him they speak well; naught but kindness has been
expressed and the high esteem in which he was held. He was not a Christian
in the theological nor in the popular sense of that term, an yet he was a
good man and faithful in the discharge of all the duties and
responsibilities growing out of life and its relations with his family, his
fellowman, and his God. He was a member of the Unitarian church, and
speaking of that organization, I believe it may be said, that it is one that
believes in God and in good deeds toward man. It rejects the doctrine of the
Trinity and the diety of Christ; it does not subscribe to the miraculous,
but holds fast to that high doctrine, bold and sacred, which requires of man
honesty in business affairs, honesty in expression of thought, honesty in
dealing with man and his relation in God. Perhaps the best expression of the
doctrine of that church is found in the statement by Ex-President Taft,
which has been so often quoted:
“Unitarians preach the gospel of sweet reasonableness, the love of God, the
love of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of tolerance. It has always been a source
of wonder to me why all the world has not been Unitarian, and I think the
world is verging in that direction.”
Benjamin Franklin, a believer in that church, is every day quoted with
saying; “I believe in one God, the creator of the universe: that he governs
it by his providence, and the best acceptable service we can render to him
is doing good to his other children; that the soul of man is immortal and
will be treated with justice in the future life respecting its conduct in
this.”
The family of Ballews, of which the deceased was a member, subscribed, I
believe to the utterances in a late issue of the magazine published by his
brother, in substantially these words:
“As for us, this is neither rhyme nor jest;
We must all die alike, later or soon,
And life is hard, and death for us brings rest;
Rest for the weary and worn is a boon.
So Away with the priest; we fear him not;
Nor fear we death, that we all must die;
For when man is born we know that his lot,
Is to live and pass from life with a sigh;
And all good is God, and God is all good;
We know there is neither Hell no Devil,
And if we have made ourselves understood,
A brave, true man has no fear of evil.”
The deceased did not subscribe to the doctrine of an eternal hell, no to the
doctrine that the four of hell beyond this life was the proper instrument to
restrain one from doing wrong. He did believe that for the wrongs done we
are punished, and for the good services we are rewarded. As a citizen, he
performed well the duties which fell to his lot; he studied and understood
well the relations between the individual and the government; he felt that
he had his part to perform as a member of the whole body, and he attempted
to faithfully discharge that duty. He was honest and upright in his dealings
with all and attempted to avoid injury to others. He provided well for his
family in intellectual improvement, moral growth and physical comforts. He
was true and faithful to his friends and had the esteem and confidence of
his immediate associates. He enjoyed the reputation of being an honorable
upright man among all who knew him, and that he is gone I feel that I can
perform no more faithful service than to say of him, that his life he
merited with the confidence, love and esteem of all his friends and
associates; that he was obedient to law, both human and divine, and in his
death has come for him both “Peace and rest.”
On behalf of the family I express their thanks and appreciation of the many
acts of kindness shown at this time, for their sympathy and friendship
manifested by many beautiful floral offerings and the large attendance here
to show respect and esteem for their departed loved one.
