New York Daily Times (New York, New York), 9 January 1856
Horrible Retribution - In the early part of September last, a man living in Kemper County, in this State, whose name was Greenberry O'Neal, killed in an affray a man whose name we heard but have not forgotten. He was arrested and carried before the proper authorities and by them admitted to bail. A few nights since, while himself and family were seated around the fire, an unknown person approached his dwelling and placing a gun through a crack in the wall, discharged its contents at him, which entering his head, scattered his brains upon the floor, killing him instantly. An efforts was made, we learn, to find the perpetrators of this horrible deed and bring them to justice, but a last accounts no traces of them could be found. - Macon(?) (Miss.) Star.
