FOR WANTON MURDER
v. LILLIAN GAINES is HELD IN THE
COUNTY JAIL.
Admits He Killed Watson Ferguson,
Another Negro, and Wounded
Tom Jones, without Any
Prevocation.

Charged with a wanton, atrocious
murder, William Gaines, a negro, is
held in the Montgomery county Jail.
Watson Ferguson, a negro whom
Gaines acknowledges to have shot. is
dead at the home of his brother on
Peacock's tract. Gaines admits that
he shot Ferguson with a Winchester
rifle Saturday night about midnight on
the Mobile road. but says that he was
so drunk he had no clear recollection
of the tragic incident. Gaines is said
to have ridden up behind Ferguson
and Tom Jones, and without a word. to
have opened fire on them with a Win
chester.
The shooting took place about mid
night Saturday night, and If accounts
are correct, was an uncalled for and
cold blooded affair. Tom Jones. ne
gro who was with Ferguson was shot
in the arm, but not seriously wounded.
Ferguson had but one leg and Jones is
paralyzed.
1t is said the two negroes were
walking along the Mobile road and
had just reached the three mile post
when a negro riding a mule came to-
wards them from behind. without
warming he opened fire on them with
a Winchester rife and Ferguson re-
ceived a bullet on the left side of the
head just below the ear. Jones, the
paralyzed negro, caught one of the
flying bullets In the arm.
The man who did the shooting rode
away down the road into the darkness.
An excited crowd gathered about the
scene of the shooting and the wounded
negroes were brought back to the city.
