| Info | "After eight days of editorial warfare between George G. Poindexter of the Nashville Union and American and Allen A. Hall of the Nashville News, the conflict reached a high point when Poindexter accused Hall of being an abolitionist. On the morning of the November 18, 1859, Poindexter, carrying an umbrella concealing a navy pistol, walked toward the offices of the News. When he got within 30 feet, Hall stepped out with a double-barrel shotgun, and shouted three times for Poindexter to halt, commands his rival did not obey. Hall raised the shotgun, took deliberate aim, and emptied one of the two chambers in to Poindexter's torso, killing him instantly. Hall was never tried for the killing."
