1841-11-02-DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER- OUTRAGEOUS AND COLD BLOODED MURDER Mr. John B. Mitchell, of Obion county, Tenn. was assassinated on Sunday night, the 3rd ultimo, in the following brutal and distressing manner: He was seated at the supper table, surrounded by his family, unconscious that the bloody eye of a midnight assassin was resting on him, when a gunshot was fired into the room from without, and Mr. Mitchell fell from his seat a dead man. Some of the members of the family rushed out, but the night was dark and they could not see any person: They, however, heard the rustling of the leaves as the blood stained villain pushed through a thicket. >From previous threats, and other circumstances, the citizens of Obion have good reason to suspect that a certain James N. Stone, of Obion county, is the murderer. They have, with a praiseworthy spirit, subscribed several hundred dollars reward for the apprehension of the murderer. James N. Stone is described to be a heavy built man, near six feet high, complexion common, hair and eyes black, visage rather broad, a large scar across his nose, which is angling down.-Mills Point Herald.
