Ashland Progress
Robert Gary, an aged negro resident of Ashland, was found dead, shot through the 
head, at his home in the western part of Ashland, Saturday night. Another negro 
called "Jam-up" who lived in the house with him. first discovered the dead body, 
when he went in home from town late at night. It is thought that the victim was 
shot while asleep. An investigation was at once begun following up clues pointed 
by suspicion, and late Wednesday afternoon Carl Williams, a white man with a 
criminal record, was arrested and placed in jail. Circumstances taken in 
connection with admissions he has already made are said to closely implicate him 
in the crime.
