Ashland Progress
According to a report which reached Ashland from Delta Wednesday afternoon. 
Newman Ingram was shot and killed, by Sam Gregg, both white men, the trouble 
occurring a few miles beyond Delta Wednesday. The sheriff's office was called, 
and a deputy started for the scene of the difficulty but found that it had 
occurred just over the line in Randolph County. From the reports it seems that 
the two men met in the road and the shooting occurred just after they had 
passed, Ingram being shot in the back, but details are meager and the cause of 
the trouble was not learned. Both men have families. Later reports indicate that 
Gregg has been arrested and carried to jail at Wedowee.

Jun 21, 1918, Randolph Star
Sam Gregg, charged with killing Ingram, was given a preliminary hearing before 
Judge Heflin Monday and was held to the Grand Jury. Bond was fixed at $5000, 
which he made and was released. The state was represented by Solicitor Burns and 
Judge Garrison of Ashland, and the defendant by Hon. R. J. Hooton of Roanoke. 
The killing took place in Beat 13, this county several weeks ago and Gregg had 
been in jail since. 



Additional Comments:
Samuel Thomas Gregg was convicted and sent to prison. He was paroled in about a 
year, and he moved to Eastland Texas, but he died in Dallas County TX.
