"The Carroll County Times"
Carrollton, Carroll Co., Georgia
 
NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, SEPTEMBER 27, 1878 
 
Another outrage in Cleburne County, Ala. Mr. Peslen was grinding coffee while 
his wife was getting supper when he was shot. Eight buck shot entered his body. 
One went through him. He fell and they repeated the fire, the shot entering the 
wall just above him. He died in a short time. It was done by some unknown hands 
but in a few days they suspicioned Stanford White, one of the twin sons of 
Obadiah White. He had made some threats against the deceased. He is lodged in 
jail and we learn that he will have his trial tomorrow. We understand that Mr. 
Peslen was a good, honest citizen. He lived near Gaines' bridge on the big 
river.
