Geo. Williams being duly sworn says in the McLeau cut on land known as Lynchs plantation about the time the sun come up yesterday morning I went to where Tom Tillman was plowing and found his mule dragging the plow about in the corn I went to hunt him and found him laying flat of his back dead, he was lying right where he left off plowing between the rows with both hands up. I did not touch him. I don't know how long he had been dead. He had plowed three rows of corn about 2 acres long. I saw no marks of violence on the person od deceast. I do not know what caused the dead of deceast.
