Williams Acquitted
Willie Williams was tried in Louisburg Tuesday before
Magistrates R.L. Stokes and A.W. Alston for shooting George Marshal and was
acquitted. The parties involved were all colored and the shooting took place at
a negro ice cream supper near the Warren County line. From the information we
get, a “racket” was started in which Williams and Marshall were engaged and
Williams got hold of a .38 caliber pistol and emptied it. Two balls took effect
in the building, two in Marshall’s head and one in the thigh of a colored woman
named Becky Harrison. Constable J.B. Smith caught Williams and brought him to
Louisburg Monday for trial. The reports from the victims Tuesday did not seem
that they were in any immediate danger.
