Macon Weekly Telegraph, May 9, 1876

The Georgia Press

On Monday morning last (May 1) says the Griffin News, the mutilated body of 
Jesse Williamson was found in a field near Williamsville, Pike County. His 
neck was broken and one of his eyes badly bruised. A coroner's inquest was 
held, but we have not heard the verdict. A white man named Whaley was under 
arrest, suspicioned of being concerned in the matter. A negro was also 
arrested, but we do not know the result of the investigation. At present the 
affair is wrapped in mystery. The deceased was a young man of rather weak 
mind, peaceable and inoffensive, belonging to a very good family. A full 
investigation will be held.


Additional Comments:
A son of Joseph Williamson and Mary Ann Riggins, Jesse was born about 1850.
