Article from The Antlers American, Antlers, Oklahoma, Thursday, July 23rd, 1931 - newspaper article as follows:
KILLING IN NORTH END OF COUNTY RESULTS IN AQUITTAL
Meet in Field, Both Armed, Guns are Brought into Action and as a Result A Man by the Name of McCorns was Shot Dead

A killing occurred near Snow Sunday afternoon about six o'clock when John Badgwell, aged twenty-three, shot and killed his uncle, Andrew McCorns. The men met in a field about half way between their homes both armed and the shooting occurred, which resulted in the death of McCorns.

At an examining trial held here before Judge Geo. R. Childers Tuesday resulted in acquittal of Badgwell, and from the evidence it seemed to have been justifiable homocide.

The investigation was made by County Attorney A.A. McReynolds and Sheriff Sam Stephens.

I too, am a descendant. Our family heard of brothers killing an African-American man in Georgia during the Reformation, then moving to Arkansas after changing their names from Bagwell to Badgwell. So far, my Ancestry.com research shows the name change and move from Georgia match up. No details found on other members' trees, though. Was excited to see this original post and know other descendants had heard of this story!
