J. H. Claxton Dying; Shot by G. W. Mixon

Well know Johnson County men fight over business Matters. 

Kite GA: March 14 – J. H. Claxon, a well-to-do farmer here is dying today as a result of a pistol bullet wound inflicted late last night by George W. Mixon, also a farmer, and formerly his good friend.  The two men had been working a farm together and quarreled over the settlement of the proceeds.  Mixon disappeared after the shooting.  Claxton was shot thur the body.  Both men are highly connected.

 

The Macon Daily Telegraph, September 25, 1909

6 Year Sentence imposed by court on George W. Mixon, Slayer of Henry Claxon found guilty by jury after long deliberation. Motion for new trial set for December 15, 1909, Defendant bond fixed at $2,000 – joins his family near Kite

 

Wrightsville Georgea – September 14

 

   The jury which was out on the G. W. Mixon case for over 15 hours, rendered a verdict about noon today of voluntary manslaughter and Judge Rawlings sentences the prisoner to the Penitentiary for a term of 6 years.  Attorneys for the defendant immediately filed motion for a new trial, which has been set for December 15 at Sandersville before Judeg Rawlings.  Mixon’s bond was fixed at $2,000 which was soon made and he left tonight to spend the night with his family whose home is near Kite.

   The case was in process of trail all day yesterday and was not given to the jury until about 11:00 last night.  Most of the morning was consumed in getting a jury, which was occasioned by the wide relationship of the Claxon’s and Mixon’s.  The case for the state was represented by attorney John R. Cooper, of Macon and Solicitor Alfred Harrington, of Swainsboro and Honorable William Faircloth of this city and Judge J. K. Illness, of Alanta.

   The witness for the defendant endeavored to prove that the killing of Claxon by Mixon was justifiable though the state’s witnesses testified to the killing as being uncalled for and one that could have easily prevented should mixon so desired.

 

Story of the Crime

During the year of 1908, Mixon was engaged in farming on the plantation of Henry Claxon, which is located in Emanuel Count, a few miles from Kite in this county.  In the Spring of 1909, it is alleged, Mixon accused Claxton of having stolen a bale of cotton from him, alleging that the 13 bales were made on the farm, while Claxton claimed that only 12 bales were made.   On Saturday, March 13, Claxton and Mixon were both in Kite and the difference was renewed about 7:00 in the evening.  It is alleged that after a few words having been passed by both of these men that Mixon still claiming that Claxton had done away with a bale of cotton, and for which he received nothing, Mixon withdrew his revolver and fired two shots into the body of Claxton.  The latter lived until the following Tuesday morning at 7:00, but before he died he made a statement that Mixon killed him with a sufficient provocation.

 

Dublin Courier Dispatch, March 16, 1911

 

Mr. George Mixon who was convicted for killing Henry Claxton of Kite and was sentenced for 6 years in the State Penitentiary, has been pardoned by Gov. Brown.  While confined in Toombs County changing, his wife died leaving 6 small children.  A petition was signed by the jurors who tried him and other citizens asking executive clemency.
