THE PARIS NEWS, Tuesday, July 20, 1920, page 1: 'ONE DEAD ANOTHERCRITICALLY HURT BY NEGRO HALFWIT ^Tragedy Enacted Monday Evening On NorthTwentieth Had Absolutely No Cause ^Officer Cross Shot While In Dischargeof His Duty Taken to Sanitarium Where Examination Showed The Wound To BeMost Serious ^At 3 o'clock this morning an inquiry to the sanitarium wasanswered with the statement that there was no decided change in OfficerD. S. Cross' condition. J. F. Massey, about 40 years of age, who was aninstallment collector for L. B. Price & Co., a furniture and rug firm ofDallas, was shot and killed Monday evening about 6 O'clock by ahalf-witted Negro, Miles Bowie, known as 'Preacher,' on North Twentiethstreet near the intersection of Shiloh, where the Negro lived alone.Following the murder, when Officers R. S. Rogers and D. S. Cross weresummoned to the scene to arrest the Negro he responded to an order tosurrender by opening fire on them. Officer Cross was shot in the righthip with a load of buckshot fired from a double barreled shotgun and wasseriously wounded. Before the Negro could fire again Officer Rogersopened fire on him with his pistol, which he emptied, five bullets takingeffect in the Negro's breast close together. ^NO ONE PRESENT ^No one waspresent at the time of the shooting save the principals, although severalpersons are reported to have witnessed it from a distance, and it is notknown precisely what occurred or what, if any, words were exchangedbetween them. The rug collector had gone to the home of Will Black aboutthirty feet across the yard from Miles Bowie's cabin, to collect aninstallment; and finding no one at home he took a seat and picked up apaper and began to read while waiting for some member of the family toreturn. It was said that the Negro half-wit had been worried and teasedby Negro children during the day until he had become wrought up to a highpitch of feeling and had vowed vengeance against everybody. When theinstallment collector took his seat on Black's gallery, Miles was not athome, but shortly afterward he returned, coming from behind his house.Seeing Massey, he went into his house and getting his gun walked over towhere the collector was sitting and shot him. The load of shot tookeffect in the left side and is supposed (sic) to have reached the heart.Massey was instantly killed. [Page 29] When officers, Rogers and Cross,were notified by telephone they went out in the patrol wagon and passedthe Negro's home nearly a block before they discovered their error andturned back. The Negro had made no effort to escape, but, as stated wasstanding on his gallery still in possession of his shotgun. The officersgot out of the patrol wagon and advanced toward him, asking him where theother man was, meaning Massey. The Negro pointed at (illegible) the porchof Black's and replied: 'There he is over there; I killed him; he ain'tfit for nothing.' Officer Rogers replied; 'That's all right; we'll haveto arrest you.' To which the Negro retorted; 'No, you won't either.'Officer Cross said; 'Yes, give us your gun, now,' to which the Negroanswered: 'You are not going to get this gun.' ^FIRED ON OFFICERS ^At thesame time he backed away from the front of the gallery toward the walland tried to get the shotgun to his shoulder, but fired before elevatingit. While trying to shoot again Officer Rogers opened fire on him, all ofthe bullets, taking effect. Miles held onto his shotgun until after hehad shot the second time and then managed to stagger back inside thehouse and fell on the bed before he expired. When Officer Cross was shothe staggered back several steps and fell to the ground. He finallymanaged to rise to his feet and while rising fired at the Negro, but thebullet went wild, Officer Rogers stepped up to his brother officer andtold him that he had killed the Negro and Mr. Cross replied: 'But he'sgot me.' No other Negro was in the vicinity at the time of the shootingand Officer Rogers stated that no other Negro had anything to do with theaffair. This fact became known among the white citizens and nodisposition was manifested to hold the colored population at largeresponsible for the act of Miles. Officer Rogers had never before seenthe Negro whom he killed, as far as he knew. The Negro had at differenttimes been employed in digging ditches and working around plumbing shops.^CROSS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED ^Officer Cross was carried to the Sanitariumdirectly after he received his wound and an x-ray was made. It showedthat two of the shot probably went into the stomach but did not passthrough the body. The surgeons pronounced the wound to be very serious. Alittle later, after further examination, it was decided to operate. Hewas placed on the operating table about 10 o'clock and at that hour itwas stated that the chances for his recovery were slight. The examinationdisclosed that the intestines had been pierced in sixteen places. Mr.Cross was born and reared in Lamar County and belongs to a pioneer familywho have lived at Howland and Roxton many years. He enlisted in the [page30] artillery company which was organized in Paris when the United Statesentered the world war and was in the over-seas service. He married MissLillian Kimball, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Kimball of Paris, about ayear ago. J.F. Massey had been staying in Paris several weeks collectingfor the Dallas firm. His home is said to be in Marshall, but it was notlearned whether he was married or what relatives survive. While there isno disposition to in any manner hold the colored citizens responsible,sixteen extra men were placed on duty last night by Captain Ragland afterconsultation with Mayor Crook. *THE PARIS MORNING NEWS; Wednesday, July21, 1920, Page 1: ^OFFICER CROSS DIES FROM WOUND RECEIVED MONDAY ^OfficerD. S. Cross of the police force, who was shot by the half-witted Negro,Miles Bowie, on North Twentieth street Monday evening, died at 8:15o'clock last night at the Sanitarium. His death had been expected hourlythroughout the day and was several times prematurely reported to haveoccurred. Mr. Cross was forty-three years old and was born and reared inLamar county, his father J. S. Cross (Uncle Sheb) having been a pioneersettler from Kentucky, who lived many years in the Pleasant Grovecommunity near the present site of Howland. Although his recovery wasconsidered hopeless from the time that the surgeons made an examinationof his wound, it was hard for his family and friends to reconcilethemselves to the thought that they would have to give him up. Besideshis wife he is survived by four sisters and a brother, Mrs. Alice Bledsoeof Howland, Mrs. E. G. McGlasson of Roxton and Mrs. Calvin Morgan, Mrs.T. F. Justiss and E. B. Cross of Paris.

He was shot down by a manThe Paris News reported was a 'halfwit' while unaware city councilmembers sat in session trying to decide mundane issues like the paving ofLamar Avenue and Clarksville Street. ^If no date was on the masthead, andthe style of the News was not of that era, a reader could easily believeheadlines depicted 1997 instead. A violent conclusion arose from asenseless, inexplicable act the day before. ^That hot Monday afternoonJuly 19, J. F. Massey, an installment collector for the Dallas furnitureand rug firm L. B. Price and Company, was in Paris for business. Hestopped by the Will Black home at the intersection of Shiloh and 20th NWstreets, apparently to receive a payment. Finding no one at home, Masseysat on the steps and proceeded to read, hoping the inhabitants wouldarrive soon. ^From a house next door 30 feet away, Miles Bowie watched.About that time factory whistles began to blow, signifying the end ofanother workday. Bowie was agitated, having been teased unmercifullyduring the day by neighborhood youngsters. ^Something about theappearance of Massey triggered the tense Bowie. He grabbed his shotgun,walked across to Massey and fired. The blast went through the rugsalesman's heart, instantly killing him. ^At, 6 p.m. officers R.S. Rogersand Cross were called to the scene. Bowie was standing at his own houseand he admitted guilt. Conversation followed but an unsound Bowie firedbuckshot at Cross, hitting him in the hip area and penetrating hisintestines. Cross felt to the ground but @ arose, firing errantly atBowie. ^By then Rogers already had pulled the trigger of his own pistoltwice and continued until five bullets hit Bowie. The killer began tofall back into his house when the second bullet found the mark. Bowielanded on a bed before dying. Cross, 43, at the time and with a pregnantwife, was taken to the Sanitarium of Paris on Bonham Street, theforerunner to McCuistion Regional Medical Center, where he lingered until8:15 the next night. ^It was quite a blow to the citizens of Paris. Crosscame from a pre-Civil War Lamar County family. His parents, James Shelbyand Nancy Brackeen Cross, were natives of Kentucky. They moved to Parisin 1858 with a group from the Albany area. Most are still familiar topresent-day inhabitants. The family names were Maxey, McBath, Denton,Deweese, Williams, Hurt, Gabbert and Fooge. Many settled near PleasantGrove, later called Howland. Relatives still live near there. ^'Man'Cross was also a cousin of the former state Democratic party chairman andUnited States Marshall Sheb Williams, who served the Paris region duringthe late 19th century. ^Cross had only been married 15 months, postponinga wedding until April 1919 so he could serve with the American expeditionin France during World War 1. Besides his wife, Lillian Kimball, Crossleft four sisters, Alice Bledsoe of Howland, Mrs. E. G. McGlasson ofRoxton, Mrs. Calvin Morgan of Paris and Mrs. T. F. Justiss of Paris. Abrother, Ed B. of Paris, also survived. He later moved to New Orleans.^In a way, Lillian Duaine Cross Norwood was a survivor. She was born Aug.9, 1920, three weeks after her father died. ^Services were held at theCross home, a duplex at 31-26th NE (now 8th NE) shared by Will Campbelland his wife. ^First Methodist Church ministers Robert Pierce Shuler andW. H. 'Bill' Wallace were assisted by First Baptist Church preacher W. O.Kendall. Burial was at Evergreen Cemetery. ^Shuler had married the coupleand later baptized the daughter Duaine, known around Paris as the wifeand working partner of Gyles Norwood. ^Ed L. Kimball, the widow's father,completed a home on Pine Bluff shortly after the murder. He invited hisdaughter and young granddaughter to live there permanently. ^Today Crosslives in Parisian memories each time a citizen serves on a city jury orsits in the lobby of the police station. His photo was placed there afterhis daughter reminded city officials of her father's death in the line ofduty for Paris. ^For years it hung in city hall. His name, according toParis Police Chief Karl Louis and Mrs. Norwood, along with that of slainParis policeman David Roberts, also is listed on the National Law-Enforcement Officers Memorial Washington, D.C.'s Judiciary Square, just afew blocks east of the White House. ^'We attended the dedication of thememorial,' said Duaine Norwood as she reviewed the collection ofmaterials on her father. Her son, Dick, and his family of Fredericksburg,Va., also were in attendance as George and Barbara Bush providedceremonies on that October day in 1991. ^To date Cross and Roberts arethe only two Paris police officers killed in the line of duty.'*Information submitted November 27, 1995, by Peggy McGee Maness, 13331Veronica Road, Dallas, Texas, 75234-4916: D.S.
