The Daily Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia, October 27, 1895
Lindsey, James 

27 Oct 1895 (The Daily Constitution - Atlanta} Killed His Uncle. News has just 
reached here of the killing of James Lindsey, a well-to-do farmer, living four 
or five miles north of Dallas, by his nephew, George Martin. From the best 
information at hand it seems that young Martin was drinking and was quarreling 
with his brother, and had out his pistol. Lindsey, who is an uncle of the 
boys, told George to put up his pistol and hush, whereupon Martin turned on 
him and asked what he had to do with it. Without waiting for a reply Martin 
shot Lindsey, the ball entering the bowels. Mr. Lindsey died sometime during 
the night at his home. After the shooting martin left, and up to this writing 
has not been arrested. Sheriff Furr and posse are scouring the country for 
him. Mr. Lindsey leaves a wife and several children.
