out bit Of a sensation. About eighteen
months ago W. 4. Mckinney, young son
Of W. L. Mckinney, began paying his adj
dresses to Mamie Smith, daughter Of Al
fred Smith. Willie and Mamie soon he
came too inliiaaie, and the intimacy result
ed in Nannie's giving birth to a little
stranger. The advent Of the baby made
old man Smith look with di-iavor on
Williams visits. There grew up bad
feeling between them, and last Christmas
day, while they were under the influence
Of liquor, Mckinney shot Smith and kill
ed him. The killing was done at Smiths
house. Mckinney was arrested and held
to answer by the Examining Court. lie was
indicted by the grand jury at the last term
and tried for murder. His trial resulted
in an acquittal. Immediately after the
verdict William aud Mamie 1.-THE latter
had been an important witness for her sc-
dncer) marched arm in arm into the Court
House, and, standing just outside the bar,
Judge Mcclure went through the usual le-
gal ceremony, and pronounced them man
md wife. The marriage took place in the
presence Of Judge Randall, the attorneys
