B. F. Slaughter, Jr. Killed
Will M. Pardue Kills Him for Liarson With His Sister
News was received in Terrell last Saturday morning that Will M. Pardue, Jr., had shot and killed R. F. Slaughter, Jr., on the latters farm about three miles from Kaufman. The Times-Star does not care to enter into a relation of the details of the killing and what brought it about. Our profound sympathy goes out to all parties concerned in the sad tragedy and we have details of the affair to those papers less delicate in relating such matters to publish. We will simply state that the killing grew out of an intimacy between Mr. Slaughter and Miss Pardue, a sister of Will Pardue. Ere this the story of the killing and Slaughter's dying statement, has gone from mouth to mouth all over the county, and the Times-Star, feeling a deep sympathyt for Slaughter's widow, his parents and brothers and also for the man and his family, who avenged injuries done to the most sacred and tender feelings on earth - family honor. The affair has created a feeling of profound regret throughout the county and involves two good families in deep grief.
Saturday Judge John L. Terrell, of Terrell, held the inquest and Pardue was granted bail in the sum of $5,000 until Wednesday when a preliminary trial was held before Judge John Vesey, who allowed Pardue bail in the sum of $10,000.
We sincerely hope that no further trouble will be fomented and now that it is in the hands of the courts, await, with Christian fortitude, its adjudication at the hands of a jury of peers.
