Wrong date[edit]
This is mentioned in the March 18, 1906 issue of the Pensacola Journal, but it's a Sunday morning paper and says Burnham was "shot and killed near the union depot last night at 9:15 o'clock." Will change date of death to March 17. — admin • talk 03:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

- Indeed. I was disappointed at first because the March 19 issue, which I figured would have had the story about Burnham, isn't online. Still haven't found if they ever caught the suspect.
