In October of 1827, the legislature was in special
session. William Montgomery attended the session, representing the
lower house for Montgomery and Chicot Counties. He and Thomas Wyatt
Johnston had an argument that likely developed from the Crittenden/Conway
controversy. Johnston was a Kentuckian who was a close friend of
Crittenden and had been mentioned as benefitting from Crittenden's
misuse of Indians funds on one occasion. Johnston and Montgomery
decided that, rather than fight a duel under the strictures of the
code duello, they would rather just fight out in the open with pistols.
First they fired their guns at each other, but when the shots missed,
they resorted to using canes and daggers. Johnston was apparently
on the losing end of this fight, but bystanders intervened to stop
the fight and saved his life. At some point, it is unclear whether
it was in this fight or another, he lost an eye and his face and
body were permanently disfigured. See Crittenden v. Woodruff (1827)

Early Years 1819:1866.)
