position, who resides about two miles below
Napoleonyilie. The Doctor was married but
having no children, he had reared and educa-
ted the two brothers of his wife, Henry G..
and Frank G. The latter had, however,
conducted himself badly. and after fire.
quent vain efforts at his reformation, DR.. W.
had forbidden him the house. Henry con-
tinued to live with the Doctor. On Wednes-
day they attended the funeral of DIR. Martin.
La the evening DR.. ". went out to visit a
patient taking with him his little negro
| boy Ga returning. just as the boy was rails
| ing the bar to let the Carriage In, two men
| rushed forward While one seized the bride
of The horse, the other asked if il was Doctor
Williamson who was in The carriage. On
receiving reply in the affirmative he dis
! charged Fix barrels of a revolver at the Doc
tor, who fell bathed in blood.
| The litll- negro fed. and when the noise
| of the firing attracted the attention of the
| household, Doctor Williamson was found
| stretched on the earth in the agonies of death
| having received four balls In different parts
of bis oOdy. Suspicion falls on the brothers
Henry and Frank, especially as the former
when accused of the deed, replied in his con-
| fusion: 1T was not that fired at him; il
was my brother" Both have been arrested
