Article Text: Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7.--Ex-Marshal George W. HUNTER, of Bardstown, while having charge of five prisoners to be taken to the Penitentiary fatally wounded Sam FORD, who was attempting to escape. FORD was one of the MURRELL gang of outlaws. HUNTER some time ago killed Charles MURRELL, and will be remembered as the captor of Grove KENNEDY, the outlaw. Marshal HUNTER states that FORD, whom he shot at Bardstown, had sworn to kill him. FORD is one of the worst men in the State. In 1876 he killed a negro, and last spring murdered Shelby BALLARD in bed, shooting him down in the presence of his daughter. People in the section he belongs are rejoicing at his summary shuffling off. HUNTER, the Marshal, has done much toward breaking up gangs of scoundrel's whose crimes were numerous. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
