Duel at church steps ends in murder and self-wounding
At Troy Presbyterian Church near Versaillins Kentucky two men met after services and exchanged rapid fire on the steps. George B Montgomery killed Archibald Riley and was fatally shot, aged 29 and 80 years respectively. The motive stems from a prior seduction and forced marriage, with Montgomery declaring conscience compelled the act as a response to threats.
