Hinds County Gazette

  Mr. Henry Tillottson, a young
man raised in this county and a citizen
of the Learned neighborhood for
some time, was shot and killed at
Hays Station (between Port Gibson
and Harriston) Sunday evening by a
man named H.R. Killingsworth, who
was jealous of Tillottson’s attentions
to his wife.  The report is that 
Killingsworth had for some time past
suspected his wife of infidelity, and
recently took his children from her,
sending them to his mother.  On
returning, he found his wife and
Tillottson emerging from a deserted
negro cabin in the vicinity, whereupon
five shots were fired into the latter’s
body, death ensuring almost instantly.
The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was
justifiable homicide.  The body of
the deceased was brought to Learned
Tuesday evening for interment.
