Henry Davis, better known as Sport Davis, was killed by Leona Elliston, a Negro 
girl about twenty years of age on the farm of Spurgeon Spillers, near Ficklin’s 
Mill.  The only eye witness to the killing was Laura Gibson, mother of Leona 
Elliston, who testified that she had seen her daughter strike the deceased on 
the top of the head with the blade of an ax sufficient to cause death.  Davis 
lived from 11 o’clock Monday until 12 o’clock Tuesday.  The girl was arrested 
on Tuesday three miles from the place of the killing and placed in jail. –
