Beverly went home and was soon quite sick from the effects of it. He lingered until Monday morning, when he died. An inquest was held and an autopsy made. The jury decided that he died of inflammation of the brain, but did not know the cause. Johnson is in jail. It is a strange case, as the negro was in good health before the whisky was dashed in his face. – Montezuma Record File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/macon/obits/b/ob5498beverly.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.3 Kb
