Description

In May, 1941, Howard Mayes as Sheriff of Escambia County, and two of his deputies, Red Salmons and Guy Harvey and Mallory Williams, a constable, went to a restaurant on the outskirts of Pensacola operated by Chris Merinkers to apprehend William McCray who was charged with stealing cigarettes. The party traveled in the sheriff's car and parked it between the restaurant and the fence which ran about twenty-five feet to the north. McCray appeared at the fence north of the car about two o'clock in the morning and Merinkers went to negotiate with him for the stolen cigarettes. The officers were all parked around the car. At the approach of McCray to the fence, Mallory Williams proceeded east to a gate where the car had entered the lot enclosing the restaurant, followed by Red Salmons. The sheriff proceeded to the fence where McCray had appeared, shouted ""Halt"" and fired at him. McCray fled in a northerly direction; Mallory Williams by this time had passed through the gate, turned to the left, and entered the field through which McCray was fleeing and followed him calling ""Halt"" and firing at him. He called ""Halt"" a second time and fired at McCray again. Immediately after Williams' second shot, Red Salmons who had followed him through the gate and saw a man running, fired in that direction. Williams was found mortally wounded and McCray was later found shot through the leg. Red Salmons admitted that he killed Mallory Williams but testified that when he shot he thought he was shooting
