N H Coleman was found guilty of murder in Lauderdale County for the death of his sister-in-law Bernice Johnson Brown. The jury fixed a three year sentence in the state penitentiary after a trial that included a deathbed statement by the victim naming Coleman. Witnesses testified Coleman drew a gun and placed it in a woman's lap in a parked car, though no shot was seen.chunk
Coleman testified in his defense that he pawned a pistol with Mrs Brown for security on another loan and that he had met her uptown to retrieve it.
W R Oodle president of Louisville and Nashville Railroad said business in the carrier's territory looked very satisfactory. He noted passenger traffic had picked up rapidly in the first six months of reduced fares and that the reduction would be extended for another six months.
The report states Mrs. Brown was in a car when she asked a man nearby to fetch a bucket of water. As he moved to comply, she fired a pistol and shot herself.
Sept 90 notes it would be wise to test the idea next year. Mr. Cole says Southern roads have no joint action planned to reduce basic passenger fares.
