KILLING IN NORTH END OF COUNTY RESULTS IN ACQUITTAL
Meet in Field, Both Armed, Guns are Brought into Action and as a Result
A Man by the Name of McCorns was Shot Dead
A killing occurred near Snow Sunday afternoon about six o'clock when John
Badgwell, aged twenty-three, shot and killed his uncle, Andrew
McCorns. The men met in a field about half way between their homes both
armed and the shooting occurred, which resulted in the death of McCorns.
At an examining trial held here before Judge Geo. R. Childers Tuesday
resulted in acquittal of Badgwell, and from the evidence it seemed to have
been justifiable homocide.
The investigation was made by County Attorney A.A. McReynolds and Sheriff
Sam Stephens.
