Georgia Enterprise
     The case of Mr. Henry McDaniel, charged with the murder of Mr. Riley S. 
Stewart, in Rocky Plains district, on May 27, 1895, was called in Newton 
Superior court, last week. He was placed on trial and a verdict of “voluntary 
manslaughter” returned by the jury. He was sentenced to serve eight years in 
the penitentiary. A motion for a new trial was filed, on several grounds. His 
son, Sanders McDaniel was tried last year and a like verdict rendered, and he 
is now serving a sentence of twelve years in the penitentiary, being at present 
at the camp of Messrs. Bagby & Speer, which is located three miles south of 
Covington. The difficulty which lead to the death of Mr. Stewart was caused 
about the land lines between the places of the parties, the McDaniel’s claiming 
that Stewart had built a wire fence on part of their land, while Stewart
insisted that the fence was on the legal line, or rather upon his own land.
