At Rockdale, on Saturday last, one’
negro undertook to kill another by
shooting him in the head with a small
pistol. Tom Williams, whose cra-
nium caught the ball, is still alive,
but the physicians who have passed
sentence on him say that, if he does
not die, another damaging case will
have to be recorded against the pro-
fession. The consoling thought the
negro’s friends have is, that he was
shot in the head instead of some vital
spot.
