the talk to his mother, bringing

Richardson was struck over
the right ear with the six-shoot-
er and hM’Mull caved in across
the tempto for some distance.
He lingered until 11 o'clock Fri-
day night and died without re
gaining conscious from the blow.
Joe Richardson was an old
bachelor, an old resident of the
county, and for a long time had
made his home with the Irwin
family.
Clarence Irwin was charged
with assault to murder and his
bond fixed at <2,000 Friday, but
re-arrested after the death of
Richardson, and was brought to
Gilmer Saturday, and lodged in
jail to await an examining trial.
The examining trial was set
for next Wednesday, and until
that time Clarence Irwin will re
main in the county jail.
Joe Richardson; b a c h e l o r,
aged 60, is _ dead, and Clarence
Irwin, a young man, is under ar-
rest as a result of a difficulty at
the home of Tom Irwin Friday
morning, when Clarence Irwin
struck Joe Richardson on the
head with a six shooter.
The trouble was at the home
of Tom Irwin, father of Clarence
Irwin, who resides ten miles
northwest of Gilmer, near Soul’s
Chapel, and this was also the
home of both participants in the
difficulty, as Joe Richardson
lived with the family.
