BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 5, 1900 The Indiana Supreme Court which resumed its sessions Tuesday, after the summer adjournment, affirmed the judgment of the Lawrence Circuit Court sentencing David O. Harris to imprisonment for life for killing George Brown at Seymour, Ind. The murder was committed in June, 1899. Brown was walking down the street when Harris, who was sitting in his buggy, accosted him, calling him a vile name. Brown came toward the buggy and Harris struck him with his whip. Brown caught the whip from Harris and struck him with it; then Harris drew a revolver and shot him. Harris pleaded self-defense, but it was shown that after Brown had received his death wound, and was staggering away from the buggy, Harris stood up in the buggy and fired at him again, re-marking that he had "fixed him." The appellant insisted that the jury had no right to infer that the killing was malicious, from the fact that the second shot was fired by Harris after all occasion for defending himself was past, but the Supreme Court held that they might very properly draw that inference. The case was brought to this county on change of venue from Jackson.
