Son of Virgil and Dena (Grimsley) Redmon.
Victim of a homicide.
A Sad Killing
Last Saturday a very unfortunate killing occurred near McGaha, this county. The particulars as we gathered them are about as follows:
Claud Redmon, son of Virgil Redmon, about 8 years old and another boy the same age, were going to their homes, having been to a mill. They either met or passed E. Bryant, 13 years old. Bryant had a gun, and it seems that Claud Redmon stopped and the boy who was with him walked on, but presently he looked back and saw that Bryant had the gun pointed at the Redmon boy. It fired, the load entering Redmon's shoulder and coming out under his chin. Bryant threw up his hands, saying, "Oh, I did not know the gun was loaded." Bryant then said to the boy who was with Redmon, "You must not tell on me. If you do, I will be sent to the penitentiary for life."
Dr. C. M. Russell, coroner of Adair County, held an inquest and the jury rendered a verdict that the deed was intentionally done.
