The Griffin Weekly News And Sun April 10, 1891

On the plantation of Blakely Bagwell, in West Pike, Monroe Williamson, a white 
boy about fourteen years old, shot and killed Walter Sutton, a colored youth 
of the same age, at eleven o’clock on Sunday morning. There seems to be no 
reason for the shooting except pure devilment. An inquest was held on Monday 
and Williamson has fled.
