Atlanta Daily Constitution, Georgia 2 February 1875 Death of John Casey Verdict of the Coroner's Jury After lingering until 6 1/4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the above named man, who was wounded about nine o'clock on Tuesday night, died. Mr. Casey was 38 years old, was born in county Clare, Ireland, and has been a resident of our city for fifteen years. He is represented as having been a sober industrious man. He has a sister living in this country, and a brother and other relatives in Ireland. About twelve months ago he married a Mrs. Hall. With his wife he was sitting at his fireside pleasantly talking when called to go to the basement where he received the wounds which resulted in his death. His house is situated in a tolerably thickly settled neighborhood, it was early in the night, and within a few yards of his family, that he was attacked. The wound upon his skull was surely a flesh wound, the bones were not fractured, and would not have produced death. The wound in the throat cut the wind pipe almost into, leaving the right side intact, the wound, which lay in the rear was punctured leaving unhurt the larger veins on the side of the neck. This is the reason his death was not immediate, the large veins being missed. He died from secondary hemmorrage. Up to the time of his death, he recognized every one that called, but seemed unconscious of his situation, or of the occurrence in the basement.
