Beammeupscotty,

The third paragraph of this story mentions the number of people. It's not exact, but an approximation.

Thanks

All,

Natchez and Adams County combined have had two murders this year, not five.

I'm not sure where that statistic came from, but it's incorrect.

And, in general, there are two murders per year in Adams County. Sometimes that spikes to three, but we've not had five in a single year in at least six years.

Thanks

James and Kernel,

Which weeks of courthouse records are you referring to?

I've checked the last two weeks and they were published. And I'm not aware that we missed a week anytime before that either.

Thanks
Julie

On D-Day reminds us to say thanks

All,

I'd like to clear up the comments about the sentence that was omitted from Byrne's letter.

I did cut it for two reasons. First, because of deadline constraints Saturday I wasn't able to confirm the statement. I also deleted a statement about Ball in Bartley's letter Thursday for the same reason.

Second, Byrne's letter was more than 500 words long. Our policy states that letters should be less than 500. Combined with a long Top of the Morning by Mr. Schoby, there wasn't any wiggle room. Something had to be cut for space, and the sentence without confirmation was obviously the first place to cut. The statement in question seemed like a logical cut because it did not directly relate or connect to the rest of the letter and its omission wouldn't harm the meaning of the rest of the letter.
As our policy states, we reserve the right to edit for space.

No ill will was meant to any of the parties.

Thanks
Julie Finley
