Crazed with drink and the thought that he was to be discharged, William F. Williams, a salesman in the clothing store of John White, at Pensacola, Fla., walked up to the office where Mr. White was sitting reading and shot him dead. He turned his revolver upon another salesman, Ed Dansby, and inflicted a mortal wound in the back, then fired upon James White, the manager and son of the proprietor, the bullet passing through the lungs and causing a wound from which it is expected he will die. Another clerk was fired upon, but the bullet went wild of the mark. The only statement made by Williams was that someone in the store was endeavoring to do him injury and that if White had attended to his own business he would have never have killed him. White was one of the most prominent business men in the city, having engaged in the haberdashery business thirty years ago.
