The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia

Saturday night about four miles east of here, a shooting and cutting affray 
occurred in which H.A. Shockley shot William Perkins with a shotgun and cut him 
23 times with a knife. Sheriff Milner was notified early Sunday morning and 
went out through four inches of snow to arrest Shockley, who was found without 
any trouble and gave himself up without any resistance. Mr. Shockley is a quiet 
and peaceable young man. He numbers his friends by the score who regret very 
much to hear of his present troubles. He was to have had a preliminary hearing 
before Justices Hartley, Slade and McLeroy yesterday but on account of the 
absence of his attorney, Col. J.F. Redding, the hearing was continued until 
Saturday the 25.

Dr. Wells, of Orchard Hill, the attending physician for Mr. Perkins was here 
and stated that the chances for Perkins recovery were poor.
