Other witnesses testified directly to the fact that Dickson was shot by Drew. The affair seems to have originated in jealousy, a girl named Ella Brown being the cause. Colonel McEntee found Drew guilty of assault and battery with intent to kill, and sentenced him to confinement at hard labor in the Virginia penitentiary for the term of five years.
