The Daily Confederation [AL], Aug 9, 1859
On the day of the election a man named [William] Linsey was killed at Six Mile precinct 
in Bibb county, by John Pratt. The particulars as we learn them, are as 
follows: Pratt was attacked by Linsey for having accused him of being bought 
up to vote for Davidson. Pratt struck him with his sword cane, and the lower 
end of the cane flew off, leaving the spear of the cane exposed, with which he 
pierced Linsey through, the wound proving fatal in a few minutes. Pratt is 
known here as a gentleman of character. Linsey is unknown in this quarter so 
far as we are informed. - Marion Commonwealth.
