ATTACK on COURTHOUSE: David Martin reconstructs deer's exit from the Square The deer which attacked the courthouse, the deer named "Old Badrack" by Dale Hayes was last seen going into the woods by the Christian Church Park. He may still be in the area. May yet traverse Lynn's Service Center. May yet be photographed By Ed Waggener ed@columbiamagazine.com David Martin, owner of Grissom Funeral Home at the corner of Campbellsville and Reed Streets, believes this is the path the deer took off the Square, "Down Campbellsville ST, right on Reed, through the bank parking lot. Down into the Christian Church Park. By the pavilion. Into the woods." David reports that the 9:30 a.m. gathering at the funeral home coffee table saw the buck flash by. "O.D. Frazier was the first something run down the street he went outside and spotted the deer," David said. Besides David Martin, the coffee gathering includes Bobby Caldwell and Robert Harmon. They all saw it flash by going down Reed Street. "The girls at the bank saw the whole thing," David remembers. "The deer almost hit Jan Smith's car." Whether this contradicts Danny Mouser's theory that the deer made at least one exit onto Jamestown Street is still open to discussion. But it does support Wid Harris' account that the deer went off on Campbellsville ST; Mr. Harris was careful to point out that he was looking out a window with a lot of cold-day condensate on it when he saw the animal, and that he thought, at first, that the deer was a big dog. David Martin thinks that the Christian Church Park may be the deer's home. "He may still be in the woods," he said. If this is so, the deer may travel up and down Town Creek, and may cross Lynn's Service Center, after all. Maybe he'll be on his way to the Arnold Pasture and the Woody Woods further up the Creek. Lynn Franklin has said he'd like to see the deer. When David Martin was cross-examined as to whether this is the same deer, the one Wid Harris thought was a big dog, the one Jeff Feese described as a rutting male, with "a 9 point buck with a crooked rack," the one Dale Hayes described as "an 8 point buck with a crooked rack," and gave him the name "Old Badrack," and the deer Danny Mouser didn't see but reconstructed his activities, through reliable intelligence, what the whole episode must have been, David had no doubt. "It happened all about the same time," he said. "This was the same deer." He said it brought to mind the story about an Adair County Circuit Court case, when the witness was admonished by the judge that hear-say testimonial was inadmissible. "This ain't no hearsay, Judge" David said the witness replied, "I heared it myself." Please send any information about Old Badrack's whereabouts to us. The phone number is 384-0612, or email us.
