An Old Charge of Murder
Austin, May 23: Deputy Sheriff MANOR of Montague County was here yesterday and
arrested G. G. GARDENHIRE, an old veteran at the Confederate Home, on a charge
of killing SAM HALL, which occurred near McKinney during the winter of 1861.
Hall, who was 19 years old, was killed on the Hall farm. Gardenhire admits that
he was present when the tragedy occurred, but says he is innocent. Mr. MINOR
states that Gardenhire was captured after the killing but later made his escape
from jail. Another man besides Gardenhire, BOB BURKEY, was implicated, but he
was killed during the war. The officer states that his knowledge of the affair
is heresay. The prisoner, 72 years old, was taken to McKinney last night to
