MR. J. BENNETT SWAIN DEAD IN
HIS WAGON
Charlotte, NC. Dec 23—With his lifeless body in the wagon, the team of
J. Bennett Swain, An aged
and prominent citizen of Forsyth county,
pulled up at his home near Winston-Salem tonight. A bullet hole in his
head showed the cause of death. Investigation threw suspicion upon Ross
Gatewood and Moses McKnight, eighteen-year-old youths, who under the
influence of liquor, were returning from a hunting trip. Both men were
arrested and held without bail pending an Investigation. Later tonight
it developed that the defendants shot and seriously wounded a negro,
Dave Helton, prior to the Swain tragedy. Indignation
is intense.
