Rockdale Messenger, Thur., 26 Jan 1899

Trial, Paris, Tex., Jan 21 � Walter Kennedy was convicted in Delta county district court yesterday of second degree murder and give 5-years. Twenty years ago, his uncle, Fayette Wright, a well to do farmer, killed his father in a quarrel over a division line. Young Kennedy, then 5-years old was present. The father with his last breath enjoined his boy to avenge his death when he grew into manhood. Kennedy lived in sight of his uncle, seeing him daily, and 15-years after his father's death went up to his house at daylight shot him to death in his horse lot and rode away in the woods, spending the day hunting.
