Weber, Barney - 1889

A Fort Scott Murder.
Fort Scott, Kas., Sept. 11.--Barney Weber, a colored porter at the Huntington house, to-day stabbed and killed Tom Graham, a fellow colored porter.  Weber escaped.  There is great excitement among the colored population of the town and if the murderer is caught, an attempt to lynch him will probably be made.
