Britt, Montezuma business man after ill feeling over a 35-cent account. Chief of Police R.R. Beeland said no argument preceded the shooting which occurred at Britt's place of business, but they previously had disagreed because Britt refused to pay a 35-cent account which Clark claimed he owed him. The barber admitted firing the two shots which pierced Britt's chest and caused his death about 10 minutes later.
