Lineville Headlight May 17, 1907
Dan Mitchell stabbed and killed Charley Morris last Sunday near J. O. Peek's 
store in Randolph County. There had been a singing at New Harmony church during 
the day and Mitchell and Morris, with two or three other young men, were on their 
way home after the singing had broken up. It is reported that the fatal 
difficulty started in a play. It is said that Mitchell knocked off Morris' hat 
and that Morris got mad and cursed Mitchell, whereupon Mitchell stabbed Morris in 
the heart. Morris lived only about ten minutes after he was stabbed. Both young 
men were unmarried, each being about 25 years of age. Charley Morris was a 
brother of Buddy Morris who was killed in the same neighborhood a little more 
than a year ago.
