Ex-Station Agent Held For Killing Of Lumberman

Savannah, Ga., November 3 – F.C. Benner, superintendent of the Savannah River 
Lumber company’s mills at Gilmania, S.C., near here, was shot and killed in 
his office early this morning.  W.R. Thurston, a former station agent at that 
place, is being held in the jail at Ridgeland.

According to information reaching Savannah offices of the Savannah River 
Lumber company, Thurston became angered when he lost his position following 
complaints made against him by this company.  He was station agent for the 
Atlantic Coast Line railway.

Benner leaves a widow and two small children.  He had been in the employ of 
the lumber company for many years.
