Mr. Swann Dies

Mr. S. H. Swann, who was shot last week by Mr. Forrest McNeely in Griffin 
(Spalding Co), died Friday (May 28). Mr. Swann was in the act of marrying Mrs. 
Lillie McNeely, the mother of Mr. Forrest McNeely, when the latter shot him to 
prevent the marriage.

Mr. Swann was well known to the people of Pike county. He was reared in the 
community north of Barnesville.

His body was sent to Marshall, Texas [Harrison Co.], for burial.

McNeely is in jail in Griffin and his trial will probably occur at the August 
term of the Spalding Superior Court.
