The murder Of J. w. McKennou in Chat
tahoochee county, is still the cause of great
excitement in hat ueighborhood. The
homie de took p ace just on the edge of
CusseJa, while MckenuOu was returning
home from Columbus. 1t appears a young
lady ought inf 1rmation from McKelnon
in reference to the character of Wiksrson,
who was visiting her. McKeunou gave her
his candid opinion. Attprward y iikerson
was informed that McKennon had stated
something to the lady about him. Wiiker-
son told several parties that he intended to
have satisfaction the next time he saw him.
McKenuou came 10 Columbus TO transact
business. Soon after passing Wiker-
sons residence, McKenDon was over
taken by him. Whherson ap-
preached Mckennon in rough
manner in refere CO to what he told the
lady. Words ensued. and McKenn gave
Wilkerson tue lie. Prior to tn.S McKsn on

and fell Off the mule he was riding. Mr..
Wilkerson says McKenpon cal ed HIM liar
and at the same time hit him in the face
with his pistol, when he fired the fatal shot,
and shot four other times at him. The
range Of the bullet indicates that Wilker-
son was in the rear of McKennon, as the
ball entered two and half inches to the
left Of his heart, lodging near the lower
end Of the breasto ne. McKenuon's pistol
was found near him. Taking in'o consid-
GRAFTON the fact that both parties were on
horseback when WilSerson shot him, Nc
