Ark. Gazette April 27, 1911 Pine Bluff, April 26 - After removing their coats and inviting each other to fight, in an effort to settle a quarrel they had over business matters, J. W. Robinson, employed by A. M. Sawyer, agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Company at Altheimer is said to have stabbed Sawyer to death with a picket-knife. Before assistance would reach Sawyer, he had been stabbed four times in the back and was dead. The fight occurred just a few feet from the Cotton Belt railroad station at Altheimer, 12 miles from Pine Bluff, at 4:30 o'clock this morning and immediately after the men reached there after a visit to this city, where they came together and were apparently the best of friends. Robinson, who was arrested by Station Agent Eldridge, was brought to this city Wednesday afternoon by Special Deputy Constable A. L. Cason, and placed in the county jail. He was held without bail to await the action of the Grand Jury by Magistrate W. S. Stewart, after being given a preliminary hearing at Altheimer. Robinson lives at Sherrill, Ark. He has a wife and three children. Sawyer recently came to this county from Monticello and was living with his wife and three small children at Altheimer. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and the Woodmen of the World. The body was shipped to his old home at Tillar, Ark., today by the Masons for interment. Robinson denies the charge. He says a negro stabbed Sawyer, when the latter said something to a negro woman who alighted from the train a short time before accompanied by the negro. Sawyer was a relative of Coroner H. E. Williams of this county. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one Place. http://shopping.yahoo.com/
