The Assassination of V. H. Tillery in West Carroll. Greenville, Miss,, June 16.—{Special]— News reached here to-day that a few days ago, while V. H. Tillery and his brother-in- law, A. M. Griswold, were returning from Floyd, the county seat of East Carroll pariah, La. they were suddenly fired upon by several parties in ambush. Tillery was riddled with bullets and died instantly. The mule which Griswold rode was shot and singularly protected its rider, who escaped without injury. It is believed that the murderers belong to the same brigade who some months ago murdered Major John McKay and his cook and afterwards cremated them in their house, and also burned a great many residences and fences on plantations owned by S. Witkowski and lynched a colored man named Goodwin and a woman near Floyd In the last thirty days. This gang, we are informed, has terrorized the whole section of that country, A letter from District Attorney Tooler at Rayville, La., states that it is his belief nothing can be done in this matter to bring the guilty parties to justice, as the witnesses are afraid to go before the grand jury and begin to be questioned as to the McKay murder, feeling sure if they would give their testimony they would speedily meet the other victims" fate" Tillery leaves four small children. He was about 45 years old an Industrious and honorable white man, born and raised in East Carroll parish. La. He owned a plantation and other real estates. He also leaves an aged mother about 70 years old and a sister with several children who solely were depending on his support.The Daily Picayune, (New Orleans, LA) Friday, June 17, 1887; pg. 2; Issue 144; col D
