The Georgia Enterprise, March 14, 1889 March 14, 1889
     A fatal accident occurred on Saturday at the residence of Judge Clairborne 
Snead, on Greene Street, in Augusta. His little son, age 10, while playing 
policeman and soldiers with two colored boys, killed one instantly and wounded 
the other. They were playing prisoners, and he was the policeman. They made a 
break for liberty and he ran into the house and seized a gun, which he did not 
know was loaded, aimed it at them and pulled the trigger. The shot entered the 
face and head of one of the boys, killing him instantly. The little fellow ran 
in to his father and asked him to kill him, as he had killed a boy, but did not 
intend to do it.
