Westbrooks - Shot and Killed

Last week at McDonough, Walter Carmichael shot and killed a young man by the name of Westbrooks.  It seems that the trouble arose from a drunken dispute between the two boys which resulted in murder.  A commitment trial was given Carmichael in McDonough on Tuesday.  Col. Wright of Jackson made a most eloquent appeal to the jury in favor of Westbrook, and beyond all reason of a doubt Carmichael will be bound over for murder.
