The money was in bilks as follows: 1 ,$20 bill; 2 $10 bills and 2 $5 bills. !. - • Beginning on Wednesday, June 28th, Luther B. McLamb of Meadow. Township, was put on trial in John ston county Superior Court for his life for the death of Robert Hud son also of Meadow Township, whom McLamb was charged with slaying by splitting his head open with an aye without but little or no provocation. During the trial it was brought out by the witnesses for the State that on leaving the home of Har grove, Rufus- A. Johnson, Walter Price, Jasper McLamb and George Robert Hudson also left the house to ride some distance up the road with them on Johnson’s truck, and that Luther B. McLamb was invited to go along with them, and that he accepted the invitation and the crowd left together and moved on to John.son’s truck which was park ed some distance from the house; It was also brought out that before leaving the house McLamb exhibited a jug containing brew or beer and had invited Some of the men to drink of it. Hargrove and McLamb drank freely of the contents of the jug until it was emptied. There ap peared to be no evidence of malice or foul play until they reached the truck. Here it was that Luther 1>. McLamb told - the other McLamb that he had done him wrong, but this seemed not to appease his thirst for human blood. Johnson s t^c had the lights turned on and Hudson was half standifiS aM hait. seated on the rear end of the truck body. McLamb was heard mutter ing words of malace, and then with out notice or warning made a cir cuit of the yard, returning with an ax.e and-landed a blow on the left temple of Hudson w'hich caused his death.
