Lineville Headlight
Arthur Moseley, a negro tenant on the farm of Mr. W. B. Smith, was shot and 
killed Thursday night of last week by Jake Bell, also colored. The shooting 
occurred in the home of Arthur Moseley at about 9 o'clock Thursday night. At the 
time of the killing, it is said that Arthur Moseley was remonstrating with Jake 
Bell about using profane language in the presence of the former's grandmother, 
"Aunt Judy" Moseley, who is an old negro woman more than 80 years of age who has 
a strain of Indian blood in her veins and who speaks the Cherokee language 
fluently. Prior to the killing Jake Bell had been raising a rough house which 
caused the family of Arthur Moseley to appeal to the white people of the 
community for protection. After Jake Bell had been called away from Moseley's 
house where he was raising a great disturbance, he returned and did the 
shooting. The defendant is now in jail at Ashland and his preliminary trial is 
set for next Monday before Justice Miller.
