Preacher Shot Dead While Sleeping In Bed

Wife in Adjoining Room Says She Heard No Noise

Douglas, April 21 – 

Rev. Allen Haskins, a Primitive Baptist preacher, 55 years old, was killed at 
his home at Leliation last night about 8 o’clock while lying in his bed asleep 
by being shot with a shotgun.

An investigation by the sheriff’s office today disclosed that at the time of 
the killing Rev. Mr. Haskins and a small child about four years old were 
sleeping in one bed together, while his wife and two other children, about 9 
and 13 years, respectively, were sleeping in another room.

His wife and children claim not to have known anything about the tragedy and 
did not hear the report of the gun.

A coroner’s jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a 
shotgun wound fired from the hands of an unknown person.
