KILLING AT DERMOTT.
A. J. Rodey Shoots Peter Williams, Col
ored in Self-Defense.

Friday evening at Dermott Andrew
J. Rodey, young white man, shot and
instantly killed Peter Williams, ne
gro. The coroner's jury held an in
quest Saturday and returned verdict
of justifiable homicide, finding from
the testimony that the killing was
done purely in self-defense. Young
Rody was released.
According to the testimony of the
witnesses to the shooting it was done
in selfdefense, as the negro had been
drinking and threatened to take the
life of the boy. Williams, it seems,
held an old grudge agaist Rodey, and
had been repeatedly warned to keep
away. Friday afternoon the negro got
drunk and tried to start a fight with
the boy. He made an attempt to draw
knife Or a gun and was shot down
with a pistol.
