A fragmented clipping details the Tuesday night shooting on Martintown road that killed Mrs Atkinson near Edgefield Court House. Her husband, Mr Atkinson, a respected farmer, described as a good man, seeks justice as authorities canvas the county for the cowardly assassin with no clue in sight.
Mr Atkinson recounts a day trip to Augusta with his wife. After shopping and returning home, a dark figure emerged from bushes near Republican church as they descended a hill, prompting a frightening moment on the road.
