ANOTHER MURDER CASE.
Or. J. w. Davenport Killed z. r.
Wright, About a Woman.


Wright, About a Woman.
Last night Deputy Bob hester
brought in DR.. j. W Davenport from
Ada, where he had been tried
and committed without bail for the
murder OF z. F. Wright.
From the evidence adduced from
the stand, before Judge Talbot. the
doctor shot the deceased on the 5th
of this month, from the effects Of
which Wright afterward died.
1t seems that Wright was a mail
carrier at Oakman. where the killing
took place, and had the mail bag on
his arm at the time he was shot.
Deceased had a daughter named
Rosa. who, it seems, was accused Of
writing a letter which disclosed some
things about the doctor in connection
with another woman which were not
pleasant to the doctor.
