Father is Jailed After Son Dies Of Bullet Wound

Columbus, Ga., April 29 – William McSwain, Jr., 32 years old, employee of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company, of Girard, Ala., was shot to death shortly
after 8 o’clock Friday night and his father, William McSwain, Sr., age 58, was
arrested in connection with the killing.

In the county jail at Girard the elder McSwain denied that he had fired the shot
that killed his son.  

“I didn’t kill my child,” he told officers.

Relatives of the McSwains stated that bad blood existed between the two for
several months.  There were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, officers declared.
 The body of young McSwain was found with a single bullet wound in his temple.
