Killed His Brother

Fatal Sunday Afternoon Encounter Near Macon

Macon, July 29 – Yesterday afternoon in Bibb County, 7 miles from Macon on the 
Columbus road, Tony Cummings shot and killed with a pistol his brother, Tig 
Cummings, in a quarrel about 75 cents.  Recently Tony got married and Tig 
loaned him 75 cents to help him buy the marriage license and had never paid the 
money back.  Yesterday the brothers commenced fussing about the debt, with the 
result as above stated.

After the killing Tony did not try to escape, but surrendered himself to the 
coroner when that official came to hold the inquest.  The verdict of the 
coroner’s jury was murder.  Cummings was brought to the city and placed in 
jail.  Cummings claims that his brother was advancing upon him with a razor and 
he had to shoot him in self defense.
