Stephens wend@bellsouth.net May 1, 2004, 11:43 am (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, August 8, 1918) Cleve Holcombe, and Red White were engaged in their favorite pastime, or occupation, of gambling Saturday evening, when they had a falling out. In the scuffle that followed, Cleve was shot through the abdomen, receiving a wound from which he died Tuesday evening. He had been badly cut or shot three times previously in gambling quarrels. White claims self-defense, and surrendered promptly to the officers. He is now in jail awaiting trial for both murder and gaming.
