The Garland News 1915
Sub Heading:

Man Who Played at Ball Where Man Was Slain Identifies Man in Custody as Frank
Bullington.  Dance Went on After That Old Killing - In Jail the Man Denies,
Saying, "I Wasn't There."

This article is in reference to a murder in April, 1883, at a barn dance near
Garland.  My grandfather, age 17, Charles E. Jacobs, started an argument with
Frank Bullington and John Stroupe stepped in as he was older.  Stroupe was
killed and is buried in Garland next to the Jacobs plot area.

Frank Bullington was finally arrested 32 years later but did not serve time for
this murder or two others he was involved in.
