Young, Richard

Colored Man Killed Here Saturday Night
Last Saturday night about 9 o'clock Richard Young, a well known colored man, was called from a store and shot down by Beatrice Cheetam. The shooting took place in front of the Baptist parsonage on Main Street. Young was picked up unconscious and taken to the office of Dr. Wilson, where his wounds were examined. The bullet had entered his right temple and lodged in the other side of his head, but nothing could be done for him. He died about 8 o'clock Sunday morning, and his remains were taken to Guthrie, his home, for burial Wednesday.

Young was well known about Greenville, having been employed as houseman for a number of years by Clarence Martin. The woman claimed that Young had promised to marry her, and was probably in a jealous rage, when she shot him. She plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter and was held to the second day of April circuit court. She made bond of $2,500.00 and was freed from jail Wednesday morning.
