The reporlefo asked the, prisoner,
if lie killed a man in Ocbnee coun
ty last July, and for what reason.
Whitehead answered: “I”did CTTI
George Hardeman, a man about 35
yeers old, and married. The cause
of the killing was simply that he
and I were running the same farm,
and we could not. agree. On the
14th day of July, 1885 Hardeman
rode up in the field where"! was
