The men had a quarrel on the evening of November 17th, 1855, between 6 and 7 Oclock, which resulted in the death of General Richardson by being shot dead on the spot in front of Fox & O Connors store on Clay street, between Montgomery and Leidesdorff streets, by Cora. Shortly after this Cora was arrested and placed in custody of the City Marshal. There was talk of lynching, but no resort was had to violence.
