new Yadkin river bridge. First
reports had it that Hemric got in
to an argument with Boles when
the latter allegedly threw beer on
him, and while they were arguing
outside the station, Johnson walk
ed up and stated that if there was
to be any fighting, he would do it.
Whereupon he was said to have
struck Hemric over the head with
the wrench.
Hemric was carried to Hugh
Chatham Memorial hospital where
he died of a fractured skull about
3 a. m. Monday, and Johnson, who
had previously been arrested on a
charge of assault with intent to
kill, was charged with murder.
Latest reports which officers
are said to be tracking down, have
it that following the alleged af
fray last Thursday night, in
which Hemric was said to have
whipped Johnson, Johnson sent
for the latter to come to his sta
tion Saturday night. It is believ
ed, reports have it, that Johnson
had arranged with Boles, who was
said to have been drinking, to
pick an affray wfth Hemric when
he appeared there about 2 a. m.
