entering his stomach. From reports it seems that Gregg and another white man, 
Howard Shults, had some words with the negro after which they left him, going to 
the Gregg home where Gregg obtained the shot gun. They then returned in a car, 
it is said, to the house where the negro was and halted in front of it. Trimble

from his side and fired into Gregg's body. Reports are that drink played its
