John Hardnett Killed

Another killing has taken place in Talbot County and now four men are in jail 
charged with murder.  A few days ago Alex Harris had a pistol in his pocket and 
on being approached by John Hardnett near Pleasant Hill, this county, who asked 
him for a dime, answered that he would not give him a dime but would give him a 
bullet, whereupon he pulled his gun and fired.  Harris claimed he was funning 
and didn’t think the gun was loaded until it fired.  Hardnett told Dr. Jackson 
who attended him just before he died that they were tampering with the gun and 
that the shooting was accidental.  But other evidence of the existence of 
malice was adduced and the justice saw best to bind him over.
