HART, of CLEMMONS, this county, sends the Union Republican an account of the murder of his son, HENRY T. HART, as printed in the St. Louis Times-Democrat of May 8. A press dispatch, dated Bay St. Louis, Miss, May 8, says: J.L. George, acting town marshal of Picayune, Miss., charged with the killing of Henry Hart, at Picayune, was brought to the Bay tonight by Sheriff Saucier and lodged in jail. The tragedy occurred Monday night almost in front of the Picayune bank. According to witnesses, Hart was talking with several men when George walked up, placed a revolver against his head and fired three shots. Only one of the bullets took effect. Hart reeled, fell and died almost instantly. The cause of the shooting is unknown. George, it is said, stated that he shot Hart in self-defense. George surrendered to the mayor and was lodged in jail. There was much excitement over the affair and it was deemed prudent to place a guard around the jail and later to send the prisoner to Bay St. Louis. Hart was a man of means and was interested in various enterprises in that section of Mississippi. He lived in Picayune with his family, a wife and children. The murderer came from the west and had been living in Picayune about a year.
