On Tuesday morning, Mr. Jesse G. Joiner was shot and killed by his son-in-law
Mr. W.J. Bush. Mr Bush was living on lands leased from Mr. Joiner, and was at
work to prevent his hogs from sleeping under an out house when Mr. Joiner came
up and told him he was going to tear the house down that day. Mr. Bush told him
to go off, he didn't want any trouble with him. But Mr. Bush and his son, the
only witness say that Mr. Joiner walked on towards Mr. Bush with his hand in
his pocket, when Mr. Bush took his gun and shot him. Mr. Bush came to
Sandersville in the afternoon and surrendered himself to Sheriff Wall. Coroner
Lowe held an inquest, but as the law declares an inquest unnecessary when there
is a witness to a crime. The papers were not regarded by Judge Newman as legal.
The jury however after their inquest declared the crime to be voluntary
manslaughter. Bad feelings had existed between the parties for some time. A few
weeks ago Mr. Joiner shot at Mr. Bush, and wounded his daughter Mr. Bush's
wife. A commitment trial will probably be held soon.

A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our hearts.
Which never can be filled.
