Terrible Tragedy Near kingsyilIe.


Mr.. George Cason met tagic deatl
: Wednesday evening near Kinsgville
one mile from Hampden. Sidney. HI
was shot to death by a negro girl
named Ida White, who is now i'm jai
awaiting the action of a Prince Ed
ward grand jury. The girl claims that
the shooting was accidental, but the
coroner's jury, not being satisfied OF
the truthfulness OF her Varied state.
ments, committed her tojail.
From the testimony it a bpears that
Cason was out shooting bats with sew
eral other young men. One Of them
rested his gun against tree and went
off for a few minutes. The gun was
very near public pathway by which
Ida White came up. She picked up
the gun and Cason greeted her with,
Good evening, Ida" She returned
the salutation with "good evening""
and the report of the gun was heard,
and the other huntsmen ran up IN
time to see Mr.. Cason fall and the gun
in the hands of Ida White. Cason
died almost instantly. The load enter
ed the lower part Of his face, number
Of shot scattering and reaching the
brain. The girl was apparently not
more than or feet away, near a
clump of bushes.
Coroner Kealney was notified and
went to the scene of the shooting yes
terday morning. He empanneled a
jury Of inquest and after hearing the
testimony their verdict was that
George Cason came to his death on the
18th day of August, by a gun shot
wound inflicted by the hands of one
Ida White, and that the testimony in
the case being very conflicting, we do
order that the SAID Ida White be sent
on to the county court. The jury con-
sisted Of the following gentlemen:
+. l.. Dupuy, ]. w. Porterfield, r. r.
Rice, ]. II. Garland, ]. NJ. Williamson
and II. ]. Kernoodle.
The affair is one Of the saddest
that has occurred in our county for a
long while. Young Cason had just |
attained his majority, was regarded
as peaceable, quiet young man, and
was liked by all who knew him.
His mother was visiting away from
home at the time of his death, and on
hearing Of it, she became PROSTATE with
grief.
No motive for the shooting of Cason
was shown by the testimony before the
Coroner, and probably the only ground
for holding Ida White, was found in
the conflicting statements she made, al
though ample allowances were made
for the terrible strain Of excitement and
fright under which her testimony was
given.
