Murder At Georgetown Early last Sunday morning, December 30, the dead body of Donaciano Gonzalez, with a bullet wound in the breast above the region of the heart, was found in the main street, oppo- site the meat market of Storz & Henchling, in Georgetown. There being no justice of the peace there, and the nearest one being notified and failing to attend to hold an inquest, county commissioner Bragaw summoned a jury and di- rected Dr. W. B. Carson to make a post mortem examination and act as coroner: This inquest was held at 2 p.m. Monday, rendering the fol- lowing verdict. “We, the undersigned acting as coroner and jury in an inquest holden at Georgetown, in said county on the 31st of De- cember, 1888, upon the body of Donaciano Gon- zalez, lying there dead, find, that the deceased came to his death by a shot from a pistol in the hands of Thomas Harrington.”
