HUNT, BARNES
CONVICTED OF SLAYINGS
Lam be rto ii-After a long and
emotion-filled trial, Henry
Lee "Buck" Hunt, 44, and
Elwell "Babe" Barnes, 54,
were found guilty Tuesday
afternoon in Robeson County
Superior Court on two counts
each of first-degree murder
and conspiracy to commit the
murders of two Lumberton
men in September 1984.
The seven-men, five- wo
men jury was out a mere 1 Vi
hours before returning the
guilty verdicts, according to
local news reports.
District Attorney Joe Free
man Britt, and defense attor
neys, began presenting testi
mony as part of the senten
' cing phase Wednesday mor
ning.
Hunt and Barnes were
found guilty of murder and
felonious conpspiracy to
commit the murders of Jackie
Ray Ransom, 39, and Larry
Jones 36, who were shot to
death on Sept. 8 and Sept 14,
1984 respectively.
Hie verdict was reached in
the month-old trial after pro
secution witnesses testified
that Barnes, Hunt and
Barnes' brother, Exonie "A.
R." Barnes, were hired to kill
Ransom by a Lumberton
couple who wanted to collect
life insurance.
According to testimony.
Hunt anfl Barnes murdered
Jones because he was talking
to police about the death of
Ransom, whose body was
found Sept 9 with a bullet in
the head in a wooded area
off Elm Street.
Neither Hunt nor Barnes
took the witness stand during
the trial.
Judge Giles Clark declared
a mistrial Monday in the case
against Exonie "A.R." Barnes
after his attorney Donald
Bullard, argued that his
client's trial had been "highly
prejudiced."
Exonie Barnes, 61, of Fair
mont, is charged with first
degree muder and conspiracy
to murder in connection with
Ransom's death. Clark said
his case will be tried later by a
different jury.
According to prosecution
witnesses, Rogers Locklear
and his wife, Dorothy Ran
som, originally agreed to hire
Exonie Barnes to kill Ransom
after the couple took out a
$25,000 insurance policy in
Ransom's name.
Dorothy Ransom allegedly
married Ransom while she
was married to Locklear.
Locklear testified for the
prosecution that he devised
the plot to have Ransom killed
because he felt his marriage
was being threatened, accor
ding to his testimony.
Mi*. Ransom and Locklear
also have been charged with
firit-degree murder and con
spiracy to commit murder,
authorities said they will be
tried later.

who worked and offered
support toward my being
elected to the IitDA Board

Many many thanks to each
