I Pistol Whips Assailant
Argument
Leads To
Shooting
Dm of the wild sod wooly vest

urday afternoon when one man is
■aid to have whipped out a pistol
pulled the trigger some 4 or 5
times, hitting the target at least
three times and then having the
pistol taken away from him and
beaten almost unto death by the
man he shot.
UUf HUDGINS
This is the information that the
CAROUNXAV received about the
shooting of Harry Lee Hudgins by
Marshall Barnes. It was reported
th#t Barnes, accompanied by two
Other men. Whose names were not
given, strolled into the 400 block
of Bloodworth Street after having
had a few drinks, not necessarily
looking for trouble but making no
attempt to avoid any.
The brother of Hudgins is said
to have been on the scene and de
cided that he wanted to chastise
Hudgins with a baseball bat. Hud
gins is said to have relieved him
of the bat and sent him on his
way. This is said to have not
pleased Barnes and his associates
too well. One of them had a few
words with Hudgins. Not being
satisfied with Hudgins he is re
ported to have told Barnes to blast
away at Hudgins. This hk pro

Hudgins did not tUca the fact
thatJUs body was being used u a

Barnes "over” with such frensy
that they feared for his life. Hud

2 Os City’s Oldest Citizeni Die
Dr. Davis
f - .
Perishes
In Lake
HIGH POINT The flags at all
prisons of the state will be flying
at half mast Thursday due to the
death of one of the members of
the commission who spent the last
years of his life trying to make the
prison system better. Dr. Maury
B. Davis.
The 55-year old physician met
his death either in an automobile
he was driving or in the icy waters
of City Lake about eight miles out
on the airport road about 7:41
Monday morning.
The exact cause of his death Is
•till being probed. County autho
rities have ruled it accidental, but
there are others who say that the
physician suffered a heart attack,
which caused him to lose control
of the car and that the car plunged
thru the rail.
The heart theory is supported by
the fact that he is said to have suff
ered an attack sometime ago and
that his death was a recurrence
of same. When the car was pulled
from the water about 10:55 his body
was not in the car. This gave rise
to the fact that he sensed the at
tack and raised the window to try
to get some relief.
