Details OF the Murder of samuel Clifton.
Details of the killing OF Samuel Clifton,
at County Line church, Dooly county, Ga,
show it to have been a sanguinary affair.
In 1851 Clifton had fight with Sampson
Cason, in which the latter was severely
worsted. Bad blood has existed ever
since. Last Sunday the usual congregation
assembled at the county line church, Is
miles east of Vienna, in a sparsely settled
country. The services had not be
gun. A path led from the church
to a spring SO yards distant. Young
couples passed and repassed from the
spring to the church. Clifton started from
the spring to the church, when CasOn met
him. When within three feet of his VIC
tim CasOn raised knife, and saying
"Sam, you have been talking about me-"
plunged the knife just above Clifton's
left nipple, cutting entirely through
two ribs and leaving open tho heart,
which was exposed to view through
an aperture four inches long. After
receiving the blow Clifton stepped
back, drew a knife, made a step toward
his slayer, staggered, and fell dead. Cason
coolly stepped to the spring, washed the
blood from his hands, returned to where
the dead man lay, and, looking at him
said, that's damned bad cash." Then,
turning to tho minister and congregation
who surrounded him and made no effort
at his arrest, he bade them adieu, mount
ed his horse. and resumed his journey out
of the country. The neighborhood was all
related to him.
