Roanoke Leader
About one o'clock Thursday morning a negro, Will Hall, was killed by another 
negro, John Taylor, on the tracks of the A. B. & C, railroad near the water 
tank. The Victim was struck on the head by an iron rod in the hand of the 
slayer, dying almost instantly. Taylor left the scene at once, but later 
returned and was placed under arrest by the chief of police. He admitted the 
killing but said that he did not think he had struck hard enough to kill. It is 
said that whisky played a part in the tragedy. The slayer was placed in the city 
jail and later transferred to the county bastille.
