morning O'Connor stood in the door of
the Merchants National bank, when
Mabry and companion walked past
on the opposite side of the street.
O'Connor took shot gun from the

Lusby killed Will Mabry, and that
some week ago General Mabry and his
son Joseph slaughtered Don and Moses
Lusby in the street.
