Trivia

• 

  Kingsport residents demanded the death of Mighty Mary for her 1916 killing of Walter "Red" Eldridge.
  On September 12, 1916, Kingsport residents demaded the death of cirus elephant Mighty Mary (a five ton Asian elephant who performed in the Sparks World Famous Shows Circus) for her brutual killing of a city hotel worker named Walter "Red" Eldridge was hired the day before as an assistant elephant trainer by the circus.

  On the evening of September 12, Eldridge was killed by Mighty Mary in Kingsport, Tennessee while taking her to a nearby pond to splash and drink. There are several accounts of his death but the most widely accepted version is that he prodded her behind the ear with a hook after she reached down to nibble on a watermelon rind. She went into a rage, snatched Eldridge with her trunk, threw him against a drink stand and deliberately stepped on his head, crushing it.

  The details of the aftermath are confused in a maze of sensationalistic newspaper stories and folklore. Most accounts indicate that she calmed down afterward and didn't charge the onlookers, who began chanting, "Kill the elephant!" Apparently within minutes, a local blacksmith tried to kill Mary, firing more than two dozen rounds with little effect. Newspapers published claims that Murderous Mary had killed several workers in the past and noted that she was larger than the world famous Jumbo the elephant. Meanwhile, she was impounded by the local sheriff, and the leaders of several nearby towns threatened not to allow the circus to visit if Mary was included. The circus owner, Charlie Sparks, reluctantly decided that the only way to quickly resolve the potentially ruinous situation was to kill the elephant in public. On the following day, a foggy and rainy September 13, 1916, she was transported by rail to Erwin, Tennessee where a crowd of over 2,500 people (including most of the town's children) assembled in the Clinchfield railroad yard. It has been suggested that Jumbo the Circus Elephant be merged into this article or section. ... Erwin is a city located in Unicoi County, Tennessee. ...
