Woods; Left To Die
BY CHARLES R. JONES
A gory tale of blood-letting to the death, until all of
the vital signs of life were missing from the body of a
28-year-old Wake County victim last Saturday night,
was related to the managing editor of this newspaper
this week by Wake County Coroner Marshall W.
Bennett.
The victim was Ernest W.
Strickland, whose iMidy was
pumped just once with the
lethal contents of a shotgun,
slightly above the right elbow.
“He was apparently dragged
into ihe^wood.s and left to
die." stated the coroner,
adding that. “That man
literally bled In death from
just one shot in his arm.”
