Attorney G.. J. Perkins received
a message yesterday morning stat.
ing that his father had been killed
by an l.. & n. train in Birmingham,
Alabama, but the particulars were
not given. Mr.. Perkin' father was
an old Confederate soldier. and at
the battle of Peach Tree was shot
twice through the body and laid
several hours on the battlefield.
There were a7 holes in his clothing
made by shots of his enemies and
there was not a man of the regiment
bnt was either killed or wounded.
Several years ago he was working
on a scaffold which fell with him
and he was seriously injured. 1t
seems to have been his fate to meet
with a violent death. Mr.. Perkins
has not seen his father for some six
years and will receive the sympathy
of his many friends here.
