Charles Nash, Negro, Stabbed To Death Tuesday Night

Negro Meat Cutter in Winnfield Twenty-One Years Killed By Negro Woman

Charlie Nash, about 50 year old negro, was stabbed through the heart Tuesday
night by Sarah Davis, negro woman in the T. & G. Quarters.  It was reported
that the negro man had his hand over his heart when the woman thrust a long
butcher knife through his hand and body.

Nash has been a meat cutter in Winnfield for about twenty-one years.  For some
time past, he has been employed by W. F. Dickerson's Market & Grocery.

After the man's death, the negro woman was arrested by Marshal Jolly and
turned over to the sheriff's office.
