Sampson was shot and killed by Robert Greer, at Greer's residence in Whitley County.

The grand jury indicted Greer for murder, carrying a concealed weapon, and selling liquor. The grand jury later re-indicted Greer for manslaughter, rather than murder.

The Circuit Court of Whitley County found Greer guilty on the concealed weapon and liquor charges, at the court's June term, 1887.

A jury acquitted Greer of manslaughter, at trial held December 1887 in the Circuit Court of Whitley County.
