| Notes |
- Robinson shot through the heart
Tradgedy at Waycross Ga. Yesterday morning.
Seven men in the fight.
Henry Robinson and three of his brothers on one side and three McClellan brothers on the other,Henry Robinson killed.
Waycross Ga. November 29 1900
A beautiful Thanksgiving Day was made sad to many hearts because of the darkest tragedy occurring here in many years.
A fierce fight on the principal business street occurred about noon. Four of the Robinson boys, men who are noted for their physical manhood and daring, and three McClellans, equally as brave and courageous, were partcipants in the row. Early this morning Jesse McClellan was walking down Plant Avenue whe he met Matt, Curt, Jim and Henry Robinson near The First National Bank. Curt Robinson and McClellan engaged in the fight. McClellan's revolver was taken from him by Jim Robinson and Curt, being a powerful man physically and McClellan of slight build, soon got the best of the fracas.
All parties were put under bond to answer in the mayor's court for fighting and it was thought that the trouble had blown over.
About noon, while many were engaged in a union Thanksgiving service at the Presbyterian church, the trouble was renewed in front of the Waycross Journal Office and for several minutes a general fight caused ______ in the neighborhood.
Jesse McClellan's two brothers, T.J. and Newt were present and the wonder is more lives were not sacrificed. Just as the Robinsons were coming out of R. E. Jones grocery store Jesse McClellan passed by. Witnesses differ as to which started the row; but in a few minutes the Robinsons and McClellans were fighting like fury.
Jesse McClellan shot Henry Robinson through the heart, death following in a few minutes.
Matt and Jim Robinson were both badly bruised about their heads and faces. They recieved several heavy blows from Tom and Newt McClellan. None of the McClellans were seriously hurt.
T.J. McClellan is Ware County's Sheriff; Jesse McClellan, his deputy, and Newton J. McClellan a policeman.
The Robinsons are fighting stock. There are nine or ten brothers, all of whom will fight early and often.
N.F. Robinson, a brother of these men, was killed instantly three or four years ago at Traders Hill, just before Charlton Superior Court opened. He and Ben Williams met there to settle and old grudge and as Robinson advanced with an open knife Williams shot him through the heart.
Henry, the one who was killed today, was said to be the quietest one of the men, seldom ever getting into trouble.
He leaves a wife and nine children, the oldest one thirteen years of age.
The Robinsons wired for two other brothers Joe and Jess, who are in Savannah, and it is feared more trouble will follow when they arrive.
Deputy Sheriff Jesse McClellan, who did the shooting is under arrest. The dead man's body will be taken to Charlton County for burial.
