In Back of tiead; Vied |
Instantly
Martin Hinshaw, 22-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Hln-
Bbaw, residents of W'ilkes coun
ty, who live near Elkin, was
shot and killed Sunday afternoon
about 5 o'clock and officers are
searching for Herschel Richard
son, 26, of the Traphill commun
ity, who is charged with firing
the fatal shot.
According to reports received
by Sheriff W. B. Somers. Hin
shaw and several other young
people of his eomr'.unity had
motored to the Holbrook
Pond, which i» used as a swim
ming pool, where they came in
contact with Richardson and oth
ers who came to the pool. The
young men. attired in their
bathing suits, were engaged in
splashing water upon each other,
some of which struck Richard
son, when Richardson became
angry, statin.g that he would
"cut them in two” if they did i: I
again. The boys, it is stated,
took Richardson's knife away
from him.
Richardson t.ien went iiome
and got his gun and returned to ,
the pond. HinsTiaw was the only
one of the hoys around and Rich
ardson is then said to have fired
his pistol, the bullet striking
Hinshaw in the back of the head. |
The bullet lodged against thel
young man's left eye. I
Sheriff Somers was notified I
late in the evening and went in
search of the alleged slayer, but j
was unable to locate him. Rich-1
ardson was still at liberty at noon ^
today.
Richardson is the son of Mr.
Treally Richardson, of Traphill.
Funeral arrangements for the
slain youth were not learned to
day.
The Hinshaw family is well
known locally. His father, Mr.
U M. Hinshaw, is employed at
the. Spalnhour store at Elkin and
his brother, Mr. I^ee Hinsliaw,
was formerly employed at the
Hardware company here.
