Argus – Week of February 1, 1894 Last week at McDonough, Walter Carmichael shot and killed a young man by the name of Westbrooks. It seems that the trouble arose from a drunken dispute between the two boys which resulted in murder. A commitment trial was given Carmichael in McDonough on Tuesday. Col. Wright of Jackson made a most eloquent appeal to the jury in favor of Westbrook, and beyond all reason of a doubt Carmichael will be bound over for murder.
