'''J. T. Carter''' was a Pensacola man killed by his ex-wife's husband, grocer [[J. M. Thompson]]. Carter and [[Susan Thompson]] had been married eight years prior, but she divorced him on the grounds that he could not properly support her. She remarried to Thompson in [[1889]]. On [[December 21]] of that year, Carter brushed by the couple on the street, calling Susan "a very objectionable epithet" as he passed. Her new husband objected, and in the resulting fight, Carter was stabbed through the jugular vein and right lung, spurting blood onto his ex-wife's face. He died from the wounds, and Thompson was arrested.
