a WeH5sn0wn Character KIIied at DUR
wood In . Drunken Row.
News reached here Sunday morn
ing that the quiet little town of
Durwood was the scene of kill
ing in which Dick McSwain was
the victim.
Deputy D. E. Booker was dis
patched to the scene and returned
yesterday with John Edwards,
charged with the killing.
McSwain was well known tc al
most everyone who has been here
any lenghth of time, and especially
do the officers know him in whose
courts he has proved an alibi
oftener than any other criminal in
the Southern district. He was a
jovial, good-natured fellow who
never possessed anything too good
to be literally divided among his
friends, but those who know him
best say he had a hankering desire
to possess the property owned by
others. The Management Of his
affairs proved him to be a man of
superior ability, taking such chat
tells as he could readily turn into
money and then beat the federal
courts.
When seen at the Jail this morn
ing Edwards talked freely about
the matter. He said there had
been no trouble between him and
Dick, but that both were drinking
Saturday night and trouble arose
in which McSwain attempted to
stab him, and in self-defense he
shot him (McSwain) with a 38-
calibre pistol, the ball entering the
stomach, producing almost instant
death.
The killing occurred in Nc
Swain's saloon over which Edwards
ran a gambling hall.
Edwards said he had been in
dicted in Texas for misiemeanors
and was acquitted of murder some
time ago at Rockwall, Texas.
