BROTHER SHOT
BROTHER DEAD
William L. Knight, of Washing
ton County, Kills Brother
Whom He Loved.
Sandersville, Ga., June 8. —A
tragedy occured in Washington
county today, in which V illiani L.
Knight shot and killed his brother,
Nathaniel G. Knight. Nathaniel
was wounded in the leg and before
a physician could arrive on the
scene, Jordan’s Mill, nine miles
northeast of Sandersville, he hied to
death.
The dead man was a bachelor.
The two brothers had always lived
together, and made money farming,
but “B'll” Knight, it is alleged,
was a heavy drinker and would be
come crazed with drink. Fie had
been separated from hi - wife on tic
count of this habit.
A few weeks ago Knight was
tried for lunacy, due to his condi
tion when under the influence of
liquor, but was released.
Apparently he was very much at
tached to his brother. It is not
known what precipitated the trage
dy today, though it probably was
the effect of too much liquor.
The brothers carried on their bus
iness under the name of Knight
Brothers and were mutually inter
ested in farming and the operation
of a grist mill which formerly was
the property of Judge James K.
H ines’s father, but in recent years
has been known as Jordan’s Mill.
